00:00:00My first day at Looney University, the school my family's ruled for generations.
00:00:13Don't bother signing up for fencing, no.
00:00:16Scared I'll beat you?
00:00:17As if.
00:00:19We both know that I'm winning nationals and qualifying for the Olympics.
00:00:22While I'm going for gold, you'll be going for minimum wage at Burger King.
00:00:27Oh my god, are those...
00:00:29The Ashworth twins?
00:00:32Their dad is the Olympic fencing champion.
00:00:35Their last name is on our gym.
00:00:38Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Melody.
00:00:41You're the Lauren Ashworth?
00:00:44Oh, um, hold these.
00:00:47Thanks.
00:00:49Later, loser.
00:00:53My biggest fight won't be fencing.
00:00:55It'll be finally stepping out of Lauren's shadow.
00:00:59It's Melody Ashworth.
00:01:07You finally decided practice is worth your time?
00:01:09I'm so sorry I got lost.
00:01:10I first practiced and I've already pissed off Roman Wright.
00:01:14Retired world champion and my new coach.
00:01:17Do not be late again.
00:01:22Congratulations.
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?
00:01:32Melody volunteers.
00:01:39No, I...
00:01:41Come on.
00:01:42I saw the way you looked at him.
00:01:44I'm just trying to help you out, sis.
00:01:46Well?
00:01:48Go kick his ass.
00:01:53I'll do it.
00:01:56On guard.
00:02:03Impressive.
00:02:05The Ashworth reputation doesn't disappoint.
00:02:09She's incredible.
00:02:14You almost had me there.
00:02:16I'm just warming up.
00:02:18Found, Mel.
00:02:29Great technique.
00:02:31You messed with my sword.
00:02:34This is what happens when you don't take proper care of your equipment.
00:02:37Sir, I...
00:02:37I expected better from you.
00:02:39Since you can't practice, run laps.
00:02:42Everybody else, pair off.
00:02:48Coach Wright, do you think you can help me with my stance?
00:02:50Yeah, I'll do it.
00:02:51I'll do it.
00:02:53I'm really excited.
00:02:56Mix a little harder.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:57Let's get really deep down.
00:03:10Good job today, everyone.
00:03:11I'll see you next week, okay?
00:03:13Keep up the good work.
00:03:18You set me up.
00:03:23You messed with my sword.
00:03:25Admit it.
00:03:28Welcome to college, Mel.
00:03:30Here's your first lesson.
00:03:31I'm a champion.
00:03:33And you...
00:03:34You're just a train wreck.
00:03:37And I think Roman can see that.
00:03:38Screw you.
00:03:39I want a fair fight right now.
00:03:41You and me.
00:03:45Fine.
00:03:45You're a glutton for punishment, sis.
00:03:51Lender your sword.
00:03:55Try not to break it this time.
00:03:58Game on, sis.
00:04:00En garde.
00:04:03Quit.
00:04:04Allez.
00:04:06Point Melody.
00:04:12Point Lauren.
00:04:14Next point wins.
00:04:15I'm just as good as you.
00:04:18We'll see about that.
00:04:28Boop.
00:04:30Hi, Wyn.
00:04:30And you cry.
00:04:33I guess sometimes never change.
00:04:35All right.
00:04:37Come on, girls.
00:04:39Let's get out of here and leave her with what's left of her dignity.
00:04:43Bye.
00:04:44Hi.
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.
00:05:42Sit.
00:05:43I'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.
00:06:02Don't be reckless.
00:06:03What if I want to be reckless, Coach?
00:06:05Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:17Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:20Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:21Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:23Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:27Do not tempt her.

00:13:05Oh my god.
00:13:14What?
00:13:14Her?
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.
00:13:28No, here, look.
00:13:29I have a picture.
00:13:30Look.
00:13:31Ah!
00:13:31Oh!
00:13:32Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:34That's not funny.
00:13:35You know what else isn't funny?
00:13:37She bribed the judges so that she'd win skates our junior year of high school.
00:13:42Shut up!
00:13:43Oh!
00:13:44You're such a liar!
00:13:45None of that ever happened.
00:13:46Enjoy your party.
00:13:47Bye, bitch.
00:13:49Roman Wright, I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:12No.
00:14:14Scared I'll win?
00:14:17Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:18You're gonna poke your own eye out.
00:14:20No one believes in me.
00:14:22Come on!
00:14:23That's enough.
00:14:25Let go!
00:14:26Fight me!
00:14:27I'm gonna lose.
00:14:31Lauren's gonna beat me at the end of the year and I'm gonna get kicked out of my family's
00:14:40will.
00:14:41I'm gonna train you.
00:14:42You remember?
00:14:436 AM tomorrow morning?
00:14:44Or did you forget?
00:14:46Go.
00:14:48You're impossible.
00:15:01Well, well.
00:15:02She lives.
00:15:03I regret my entire life.
00:15:18Champions train under brutal conditions.
00:15:21Even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:23Fantastic.
00:15:24I'll poison myself before every practice.
00:15:26He wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:29Okay, come.
00:15:30Stretch.
00:15:31Okay.
00:15:32This will help your injury.
00:15:46That feels good.
00:15:48Um, suit up.
00:15:49Since your right hand is injured, I'll train with your left.
00:16:01I can't.
00:16:02Yes, you can.
00:16:03Come on.
00:16:04I'm guard.
00:16:05Oh!
00:16:06This is humiliating.
00:16:07I feel like a total beginner.
00:16:08Hey.
00:16:09You said you wanted to fight.
00:16:11So channel all your resentment for how early it is or your anger from your sister and fight
00:16:28me.
00:16:38Again.
00:16:45You're too stiff.
00:16:47Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:49Again.
00:16:58Well done.
00:16:59But it could be better.
00:17:00Can I have my victory for two seconds?
00:17:02Hey, you're still favoring your right side.
00:17:04Okay.
00:17:05Try shifting your weight.
00:17:06Here.
00:17:08Here.
00:17:09Put your legs.
00:17:11There you go.
00:17:24Something hurt?
00:17:25Can he tell what I'm thinking?
00:17:28Is it obvious?
00:17:31Our training session's over.
00:17:33Go get ready for class.
00:17:35No, we just started making progress.
00:17:36Yeah, I said we're done.
00:17:39You feel it too.
00:17:44It's not gonna happen.
00:17:46We're both adults.
00:17:48I'm your coach.
00:17:50Okay, I could lose my position.
00:17:51And you could lose your shot at the championship.
00:17:53I've spent my entire life fencing.
00:17:56Studying and keeping my head down while Lauren went off and chased whoever she wanted.
00:18:00Okay, so go find a guy your own age.
00:18:02I deserve to break the rules for once.
00:18:05Don't you want me?
00:18:08It's unprofessional.
00:18:09But do you?
00:18:10I can't.
00:18:11Okay, do not ask me again or I won't be able to train you.
00:18:23Hey, Dad.
00:18:24Your sister warned me you might be distracted from the competition.
00:18:40Should I be worried?
00:18:41No.
00:18:43No distractions.
00:18:44Did Melody really blow Coach Wright?
00:18:54Ugh.
00:18:55She practically begged him.
00:18:56So embarrassing.
00:18:58Well, that's one way to win championships.
00:19:03Ignore them and stay focused.
00:19:05From now on, no more distractions.
00:19:12Today we'll be using practice gloves for tactical training.
00:19:19Hi, Coach Wright.
00:19:22Remember, fencing is about physical and mental control.
00:19:25In the heat of the fight, you'll want to give in to your impulses.
00:19:30The many you do, you've lost.
00:19:33Alright, pair off.
00:19:39En garde.
00:19:41Pret.
00:19:42Allez.
00:19:43This is Ashworth.
00:19:44Your tempo's off and your recovery's sloppy.
00:19:58Nice form.
00:19:59Excellent work.
00:20:02Alright, that's it for today, everyone.
00:20:04You're free to go.
00:20:09Not you.
00:20:10Run 10 laps.
00:20:12Seriously?
00:20:29What the hell's your problem?
00:20:32First you pretend like I don't exist, and then you publicly humiliate me while I'm winning?
00:20:37You asked for this.
00:20:38I didn't ask for you to humiliate me and punish me.
00:20:42Do you want to be a champion?
00:20:44You want to beat your sister?
00:20:45It's not going to happen if I'm soft on you.
00:20:47Bullshit.
00:20:49This isn't about fencing.
00:20:50This is about what happened between us this morning.
00:20:54Nothing happened.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:02Nothing happened.
00:21:09I told you.
00:21:10He's not into second-rate amateurs.
00:21:13But don't worry.
00:21:15I'll keep his lap warm for you.
00:21:21Is Roman checking out Lauren?
00:21:23Of course he is.
00:21:24I'm so stupid.
00:21:25I don't have time for this.
00:21:27Bye.
00:21:28Hi.
00:21:30Hey coach?
00:21:35Roman won't help me and Lauren's out for blood.
00:21:38I can't waste any more time.
00:21:45Ignore the pain or Lauren wins.
00:21:47Hey, hey, hey.
00:21:48Come here.
00:21:49What the hell are you doing?
00:21:50I have to be the best.
00:21:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:21:54Come here.
00:21:56What the hell are you doing?
00:22:00I have to be the best.
00:22:04Hey, 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.
00:22:44I 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.
00:23:04I'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, all right.
00:23:25You're both your father's daughter.
00:23:27The terms are simple.
00:23:29If you cheat, you're disqualified.
00:23:32Your uncle and I competed with these back in the day.
00:23:44May they bring you honor.
00:23:47Thank 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.
00:23:57Lauren, honey, a word?
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:04Forget this contract.
00:24:07I don't care how you win, but Melody cannot be in the will.
00:24:12Social comparison theory suggests we define ourselves based on how we feel we measure up to others.
00:24:24It is a slippery slope in the psychological world, both dangerous and intriguing at the same time.
00:24:30Melody, what's on your phone that's so interesting?
00:24:44Sorry, Professor.
00:24:48She did this.
00:24:49Enough.
00:25:00Settle down.
00:25:01Settle down.
00:25:01Do I say hello to him?
00:25:20Does he know about the video?
00:25:27Hi.
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:31Stop fucking with me.
00:25:40Back off, Lauren.
00:25:45Melody, seems like you're obsessed with our coach.
00:25:50What are you going to do next?
00:25:51Write his little name on the dorm walls.
00:25:54It's enough, both 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.
00:26:14You owe me an extra morning training session.
00:26:26Tomorrow I'm in the gym.
00:26:32Piece of advice, don't try and beat me at my own game.
00:26:35Because I will fucking destroy you.
00:26:47Fifteen minutes early.
00:26:50I owed you.
00:26:52I 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, okay?
00:27:09Hey.
00:27:13Go get your strength back.
00:27:23I'm going.
00:27:24Well done.
00:27:40I learned I'm the best.
00:27:45Are you sure you want to do this?
00:27:51You know what you're risking.
00:27:52Of course.
00:27:54I fought for my place in this family, in this competition, my entire life.
00:27:58But I can't stop wanting you.
00:28:13Tell me to stop.
00:28:14Keep going.
00:28:17I know.
00:28:17Don't decide.
00:28:18Don't decide.
00:28:18Tell me how I know you want it.
00:28:24Everything you've ever dreamed.
00:28:29Got me thinking, is this love?
00:28:32My mind is going crazy, baby, maybe you've got all my attention.
00:28:43Living inside the tension.
00:28:46My mind is going crazy, baby.
00:28:49I think I...
00:28:50Oh, my God.
00:28:54What'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.
00:29:04I'll be...
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.
00:29:18June, we're friends, right?
00:29:22Sure.
00:29:23And friends help each other out.
00:29:26And enemies...
00:29:28Enemies can pull some strings to make some fencing scholarships disappear.
00:29:35What do you want?
00:29:36I 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.
00:30:04Shh.
00:30:06Roman?
00:30:16I thought you never wanted to see me again.
00:30:21Okay, let's do this.
00:30:23What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:48You actually thought he wanted you?
00:30:53Note.
00:30:54You tricked me.
00:30:56Well, June 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.
00:31:08Aww.
00:31:08You're jealous.
00:31:10You're jealous.
00:31:11You get everything you want and you 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 talk to your dirty little.
00:31:23You're jealous.
00:31:24You have no proof.
00:31:26You sure about that?
00:31:27I 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 win.
00:31:42Hey.
00:31:43Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:31:46Ow.
00:31:46What 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.
00:31:59Can you do something about this and kick her off the team before someone gets hurt and
00:32:03has to go to the hospital?
00:32:04You lured me with a fake note.
00:32:06Or what note?
00:32:19Listen 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.
00:32:26I'm not 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 stun like this again, you're off the team.
00:32:39Both of you.
00:32:56At least I can sleep in on Fridays now.
00:33:07Melody.
00:33:08There 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.
00:33:20And your family is a big deal here, and 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.
00:33:35There's this invite-only networking party tonight, and it's just for legacy fencing champions.
00:33:40And students with Olympic belt coaches, alumni, scouts, they're all going to be there.
00:33:47Come 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.
00:34:01It'll be fun!
00:34:03That sounds amazingly normal compared to what my life has been like lately.
00:34:40Everyone'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.
00:35:06Can I get you a drink?
00:35:09Sure.
00:35:10I 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.
00:35:40Rufies.
00:35:43What is that?
00:35:43You 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.
00:35:59I thought we weren't supposed to be alone anymore.
00:36:02He could have raped you, okay?
00:36:04I wanted to kill him.
00:36:05Oh, so you care about me.
00:36:08Admit you care about me.
00:36:10Yes, okay?
00:36:11I care about you.
00:36:13Even when you're fencing, I cannot get you out of my brain.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:16Tell me to stop, and I will.
00:36:46You sure you want to keep going?
00:37:02It's my first time.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:07This is a really big deal, then.
00:37:12You sure you want to continue?
00:37:13Just 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.
00:37:51What'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.
00:38:04Smart 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 the judges never found out, and he went on to win the gold.
00:38:30I never competed again.
00:38:32Why did you find him alone?
00:38:32Why did you find him alone?
00:38:36Why do you support Lauren?
00:38:40Pride.
00:38:41I did?
00:38:42I-
00:38:43I-
00:38:55Why do you want to keep living here?
00:38:56I-
00:39:06I don't regret last night.
00:39:12I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:22It's my dad.
00:39:27Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:33I have to go.
00:39:36Daddy, look.
00:39:42It'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.
00:39:50Did 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.
00:40:21They need it.
00:40:22If you're going to fight fair, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:25Absolutely.
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:27You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:31Furthermore, well, 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.
00:41:04Pleasure to 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?
00:41:31He was set to spar with Roman in the Olympics.
00:41:33He'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.
00:41:40Either 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.
00:42:03I 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 spend my stuff.
00:42:19You're looking a little stiff.
00:42:39What did last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:41No.
00:42:43Just the opposite.
00:42:48Melody.
00:42:49Enjoying your last training session with your washed-up coach?
00:42:54What the hell are you doing on my campus?
00:42:57Just 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.
00:43:05Forget it.
00:43:09Congratulations to the both of you.
00:43:11Don't...
00:43:12Roman, wait!
00:43:13What could you possibly have to say to me right now?
00:43:17You lied to me.
00:43:18You don't understand my dad...
00:43:20Your father would be disappointed that you're still wasting time here.
00:43:26I get it.
00:43:28Just like a means to an end, huh?
00:43:31And here I thought that an Ashworth was capable of more than just playing games.
00:43:34No, 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.
00:43:53I'd rather die than marry you.
00:43:57Don't say no to me.
00:44:01Nobody says no to me.
00:44:04I just did.
00:44:08You're going to regret that, princess.
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:21So...
00:44:25You found out the truth about Melody.
00:44:30That you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings?
00:44:37Was that a line?
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:40Well...
00:44:44I 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.
00:45:02You're no champion.
00:45:13You've coasted on your name and neglected your duties to your team.
00:45:16Here's a tip.
00:45:17Spend more time on fencing and less on inappropriate suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:21Let's see your practice, Miss Ashworth.
00:45:26Oh, Clifton.
00:45:47You do things my husband would never dare.
00:45:51Does he know anything about us?
00:45:53He won't find out as long as you do 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, 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 going to lose everything.
00:46:58You're going to win the championships and your mom's going to eat her words and then you can divorce Leo's crusty-ass promise.
00:47:04I can't marry him.
00:47:12Holy shit.
00:47:12The school's exclusive fencing society invited us to join tonight.
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.
00:47:31What 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.
00:47:54Hey, 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, president 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 strip tease 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.
00:48:43But 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.
00:49:08If you lose, I get an hour with you.
00:49:11Whatever I want.
00:49:13Oh, this is going to be so good.
00:49:29Good thing I never touch your body with a 10-foot pole.
00:49:33I just have to get his shirt off without touching him.
00:49:35Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:43That's a touch.
00:49:53Bummer.
00:49:55And she chokes.
00:49:57Classic Melody.
00:49:58Always screw it up.
00:49:59You moved.
00:50:00Now, 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?
00:50:37You 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.
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.
00:50:56He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:59Roman could get hurt.
00:51:01Coach Wright, I'm fine.
00:51:07Let'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.
00:52:04Oh!
00:52:04Oh!
00:52:06Oh!
00:52:08I won.
00:52:27We done here?
00:52:29I never lose!
00:52:33Luke!
00:52:34Luke!
00:52:34I'm the best in the world, and I'm going to take what's mine.
00:52:38Get off of her!
00:52:39Oh!
00:52:43That was a huge mistake, Wright.
00:52:44I'm going to destroy whatever's left of your career.
00:52:47Come on.
00:52:48We're leaving.
00:52:51Oh, that was way better than I thought.
00:52:54Here, let me...
00:53:03You've done enough.
00:53:06I 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.
00:53:18And you won.
00:53:19Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:22I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:26You 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.
00:53:35I'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, but I can't.
00:53:50I've never felt this way before.
00:53:53You really are reckless.
00:53:57Falling 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.
00:54:16More than my leg and more than my fencing career.
00:54:20I could never lie to you.
00:54:22Not about how I feel.
00:54:25I love you.
00:54:28I love you too.
00:54:28I 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 was going on?
00:55:16I'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 for me.
00:55:45Well, I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for saving me.
00:55:47President Clifton, he wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:58You promise 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?
00:56:22The 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.
00:56:37President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:40That night, I...
00:56:41I took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:46My temper got the better of me and I'm sorry.
00:56:48She's completely innocent.
00:56:50Roman.
00:56:52Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:55Coach 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...
00:57:07Miss Ashworth, don't make me change my mind and expel you.
00:57:11It's been an honor serving this university, sir.
00:57:16I'll go pack my things.
00:57:17Roman Wright, don'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.
00:57:54Since 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.
00:58:32If 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.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:42Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:55Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:56Yeah.
00:58:58You're doing something.
00:58:58You're doing something.
00:58:59No!
00:59:00Oh, my God.
00:59:02You'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.
00:59:46You won't.
00:59:48You'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.
01:00:16What?
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.
01:00:47A 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.
01:01:00The Ashworth legacy bout is not just a match.
01:01:08It illustrates the pride and history of our university.
01:01:12And the past few weeks have seen some tribulations.
01:01:16So today, we begin our match with good, clean fencing.
01:01:21I'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.
01:01:46Point, Lauren.
01:01:48Point, Melody.
01:01:49Point, 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.
01:02:06Allez.
01:02:15Point, Lauren Ashworth.
01:02:16The match is over.
01:02:17That 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.
01:02:27Your 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.
01:02:35That is a dangerous and baseless accusation.
01:02:38After I saw you having an affair with my mother?
01:02:40What 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's you.
01:02:55They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after.
01:03:08After Melody, how come?
01:03:10How come?
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.
01:03:56I'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!
01:04:39And the final point goes to...
01:04:42Melody!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44No!
01:04:45This is fair!
01:04:46I deserve to win!
01:04:47Don't worry.
01:04:48I'll make sure you're taken care of.
01:04:50Even though I know you wouldn'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.
01:05:21And if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:27But, 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 for the rest of my life.
01:05:38If she'll put up with me.
01:05:40And then if I'm lucky, one day when she graduates and maybe wins an Olympic gold medal, I'll put a 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.
01:06:11Fancy, sipping me up like.
