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.
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.
00:01:13Retired world champion and my new coach.
00:01:18Do 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.
00:01:28I'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!
00:01:39No, 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?
00:01:47Go kick his ass.
00:01:53Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:55I'll do it.
00:01:59En garde.
00:02:03Impressive.
00:02:05The Ashworth reputation doesn't disappoint.
00:02:07She's incredible.
00:02:15You almost had me there.
00:02:16I'm just warming up.
00:02:27Wow, 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.
00:02:47Coach Wright, do you think you can help me with my stance?
00:02:50Yeah.
00:02:55Okay.
00:02:57Let's get really deep down.
00:03:07Good job today, everyone.
00:03:11I'll see you next week, okay?
00:03:13Keep up the good work.
00:03:22You set me up.
00:03:23You messed with my sword.
00:03:25Admit it.
00:03:26Welcome 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.
00:03:47You're a glutton for punishment, sis.
00:03:49Lender your sword.
00:03:55Try not to break it this time.
00:03:58Game on, sis.
00:04:00En garde.
00:04:03Good.
00:04:04Allez.
00:04:06Point Melody.
00:04:12Point Lauren.
00:04:14Next point wins.
00:04:14I'm just as good as you.
00:04:18We'll see about that.
00:04:28I win, and you cry.
00:04:33I guess sometimes never change.
00:04:37All right.
00:04:37Come on, girls.
00:04:39Let's get out of here and leave her with what's left of her dignity.
00:04:41Come on.
00:05:05Bye.
00:05:06Bye.
00:05:07Bye.
00:05:08Bye.
00:05:09Bye.
00:05:10Bye.
00:05:10Bye.
00:05:11Oh, my God.
00:05:24Midnight training session?
00:05:26Well, I need the work, obviously.
00:05:29You're on.
00:05:30I see.
00:05:38Your word hurts.
00:05:41There.
00:05:42Sit.
00:05:44I'm fine.
00:05:45It wasn't a suggestion.
00:05:46Sit.
00:06:11If you push through this pain, you're going to break yourself.
00:06:14Don't be reckless.
00:06:16What if I want to be reckless, Coach?
00:06:18Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:26Do not tempt me.
00:06:33Oh, my God.
00:06:34I am sorry.
00:06:35Do not tempt you.
00:06:36You are sorry.
00:06:36I am sorry.
00:06:37Do not tempt me.
00:06:38Do not tempt me.
00:06:39Do not tempt me.
00:06:40Do not tempt me.
00:06:41Do not tempt me.

00:09:20dad are you drunk?

00:14:14No.
00:14:17Scared I'll win?
00:14:18Yeah, you're drunk. You're going to poke your own eye out.
00:14:21No one believes in me. Come on.
00:14:26That's enough.
00:14:28Let go. Fight 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 family's will.
00:14:41Not if I train you.
00:14:43You remember? 6 a.m. tomorrow morning?
00:14:46Or did you forget?
00:14:53Go.
00:14:55You're impossible.
00:15:02You're impossible.
00:15:02Well, well. She lives.
00:15:17I regret my entire life.
00:15:19Champions train under brutal conditions.
00:15:21Even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:24Fantastic. I'll poison myself before 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.
00:15:46That feels good.
00:15:53Suit up.
00:15:55Since your right hand is injured, I'll train with your left.
00:16:01I can't.
00:16:07This is humiliating. I 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 or your anger from your sister and fight me.
00:16:29You're too stiff.
00:16:30You're too stiff.
00:16:34Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:36Again.
00:16:43You're too stiff.
00:16:45You're too stiff.
00:16:46You're too stiff.
00:16:47Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:49Again.
00:16:50Well done.
00:16:59It could be better.
00:17:01Can 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.
00:17:10Put your legs.
00:17:12There you go.
00:17:20Something hurt?
00:17:27Can he tell what I'm thinking?
00:17:29Is it obvious?
00:17:32Our training session's over.
00:17:34Go get ready for class.
00:17:36No, we just started making progress.
00:17:37I said we're done.
00:17:39You feel it too.
00:17:45It's not going to happen.
00:17:47We're both adults.
00:17:49I'm your coach.
00:17:50Okay, I can lose my position.
00:17:52And you can lose your shot at the championship.
00:17:54I've spent my entire life fencing.
00:17:57Studying and keeping my head down
00:17:58while 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.
00:18:06Don't you want me?
00:18:08It's unprofessional.
00:18:10But do you?
00:18:10I can't.
00:18:21Okay, do not ask me again or I won't be able to train you.
00:18:24Hey, Dad.
00:18:36Your sister warned me you might be distracted from the competition.
00:18:40Should I be worried?
00:18:41No.
00:18:43No distractions.
00:18:51Did Melody really blow Coach Wright?
00:18:55She practically begged him.
00:18:57So embarrassing.
00:18:58Well, that's one way to win championships.
00:19:04Ignore them and stay focused.
00:19:06From now on, no more distractions.
00:19:08Today, we'll be using practice gloves for tactical training.
00:19:20Hi, Coach Wright.
00:19:22Remember, fencing is about physical and mental control.
00:19:27In the heat of the fight, you'll want to give in to your impulses.
00:19:30How many you do, you've lost.
00:19:33All right, pair off.
00:19:40Un-God.
00:19:41Prit.
00:19:43Allez.
00:19:53Miss Ashworth, your tempo's off and your recovery's sloppy.
00:19:58Nice form.
00:19:59Excellent work.
00:20:00All right, that's it for today, everyone.
00:20:04You're free to go.
00:20:09Not you.
00:20:10Run 10 laps.
00:20:13Seriously?
00:20:13Seriously?
00:20:30What the hell's your problem?
00:20:33First, you pretend like I don't exist,
00:20:34and then you publicly humiliate me while I'm winning?
00:20:38You asked for this.
00:20:41I didn't ask for you to humiliate me and punish me.
00:20:43Do you want to be a champion?
00:20:44You want to beat your sister?
00:20:46It's not going to 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.
00:20:55It didn't happen.
00:20:55Yeah.
00:21:02Nothing happened.
00:21:10I told you, he's not into second-rate amateurs.
00:21:14But don't worry.
00:21:15I'll keep his lap warm for you.
00:21:22Is Roman checking out Warren?
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.
00:21:40Ignore the pain, or Lauren wins.
00:21:48Hey, hey, hey!
00:22:11Come here.
00:22:11What the hell are you doing?
00:22:13I 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.
00:22:37I know.
00:22:37I know.
00:22:43I 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.
00:23:03I'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.
00:23:29If 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.
00:23:58Lauren.
00:23:58Honey.
00:24:00A word?
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:04Forget this contract.
00:24:07I don't care how you win.
00:24:10But 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.
00:24:23It is a slippery slope in the psychological world.
00:24:27Both dangerous and intriguing at the same time.
00:24:39Melody.
00:24:41What's on your phone that's so interesting?
00:24:44Sorry, Professor.
00:24:44She did this.
00:24:59Enough.
00:25:00Settle down.
00:25:01Do I say hello to him?
00:25:21Does he know about the video?
00:25:22No.
00:25:22No.
00:25:22No.
00:25:22No.
00:25:23No.
00:25:23No.
00:25:23No.
00:25:24No.
00:25:24No.
00:25:25No.
00:25:25No.
00:25:26No.
00:25:26No.
00:25:27No.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No.
00:25:28No.
00:25:29No.
00:25:29No.
00:25:30Stop fucking with me.
00:25:40Back off, Lauren.
00:25:45Melody.
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.
00:25:54That's enough.
00:25:55Both of you.
00:26:00I'd like to, um, 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.
00:26:21Thanks.
00:26:22You owe me an extra morning training session, tomorrow I'm in the gym.
00:26:32Piece of advice.
00:26:33Don't try and beat me at my own game, because I will fucking destroy you.
00:26:3815 minutes early.
00:26:4715 minutes early.
00:26:4815 minutes early.
00:26:50I owed you.
00:26:53I 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.
00:27:02OK?
00:27:03Hey, we'll get your strength back.
00:27:23I'm going.
00:27:33Well 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 and this competition my entire life.
00:27:57But I can't stop wanting you.
00:28:03I think I maybe might be diving into direction.
00:28:08I've gone and tried to deny it, but trying to fight it, but trying to fight it.
00:28:13Tell me to stop.
00:28:14Keep going.
00:28:18Don't fight it.
00:28:20Tell me how I know you were.
00:28:24Everything you've ever dreamed.
00:28:29Got me thinking, is this love?
00:28:33My mind is going crazy, baby.
00:28:40Maybe 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...
00:28:51Oh my God.
00:28:54What's going on?
00:28:56Jun, it's not what it looks like.
00:28:57It looks like you're making out with the coach.
00:28:59No, Jun.
00:29:00It's a fucking 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 that we don't get caught.
00:29:08We're done with our private sessions.
00:29:19Jun.
00:29:20We're friends.
00:29:21Right?
00:29:21And 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?
00:29:37I want some intel on my dear sister Melody.
00:29:41Okay?
00:29:42I can't get your taste off my lips.
00:30:01Meet me in the gym tonight.
00:30:03Let's spar.
00:30:04R.
00:30:04Roman?
00:30:19I thought you never wanted to see me again.
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:22Let's do this.
00:30:23Let's do this.
00:30:27What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:50You actually thought he wanted you?
00:30:53Note.
00:30:54You tricked me.
00:30:55Well, 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.
00:31:12You'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 sister.
00:31:24You have no proof.
00:31:26You 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, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
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.
00:31:57She'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.
00:32:06Or a one note.
00:32:19Listen to me right now.
00:32:20I will not be a pawn in your sibling rivalry.
00:32:24God, I 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 stun like this again, you're off the team.
00:32:39Both of you.
00:32:40At least I can sleep in on Fridays now.
00:33:08Melody, there you are.
00:33:09What do you want?
00:33:11Look, I screwed up.
00:33:14Whatever is between you and Roman, it is none of my business.
00:33:16It'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.
00:33:35There's this invite-only networking party tonight.
00:33:37And it's just for legacy fencing champions.
00:33:41And students with Olympic belt coaches, alumni, scouts.
00:33:45They'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.
00:33:54I'll help you get ready.
00:33:56We'll look super hot.
00:33:57And flirt with cute boys.
00:33:59And make career connections.
00:34:01It'll be fun.
00:34:03That sounds amazingly normal compared to what my life has been like lately.
00:34:27Everyone's staring.
00:34:43Because you're hot shit.
00:34:46Own it.
00:34:46Oh my god.
00:34:53Is that Melody Ashworth?
00:34:54She looks like a model.
00:34:56Shut up.
00:34:59Hey.
00:35:00I 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.
00:35:09I can't stop thinking about Roman.
00:35:16But here's this hot guy completely into me.
00:35:19I should be enjoying this.
00:35:21A true gentleman.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:29I saw you spiking.
00:35:31What?
00:35:32No, I didn't.
00:35:33Drink it.
00:35:34Whoa.
00:35:40Hey, man.
00:35:40Whoa.
00:35:42Rufies.
00:35:43What?
00:35:43You were going to put one in her drink and take her upstairs?
00:35:45And 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.
00:35:51And 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.
00:36:04Okay?
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.
00:36:11Okay?
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.
00:36:25Come.
00:36:34You sure you want to keep going?
00:36:58It's my first time.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:07This is a really big deal, then.
00:37:11You sure you want to continue?
00:37:15Just go slow.
00:37:19Of course.
00:37:20You're still here.
00:37:40What else would I be?
00:37:41Or maybe I dreamt you.
00:37:43Or maybe you went too far and scared you off?
00:37:51What's this?
00:37:52An old wound.
00:37:54Mistake.
00:37:54You went to the Olympics, but you never competed.
00:38:01And then you disappeared from the circuit.
00:38:04Smart girl.
00:38:05I 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, and he went on to win the gold.
00:38:31I never competed again.
00:38:33Where did you fit 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.
00:38:56Even if we just did.
00:39:05I don't regret last night.
00:39:12I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:14I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:14It's my dad.
00:39:27Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:30I have to go.
00:39:39Daddy, look.
00:39:42It's not fair.
00:39:43Your sister sent me this.
00:39:46What are you doing with Coach Wright?
00:39:48Explain yourself.
00:39:49It's not what it looks like.
00:39:50It's a...
00:39:51Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:54That would constitute cheating.
00:39:55No, he walked me home.
00:39:58Nothing happened.
00:39:59Liar.
00:40:00You're in the same dress from last night.
00:40:02I bet you didn't even go back to your dorm.
00:40:05This is a disgrace.
00:40:06My own daughter compromising the integrity of the game.
00:40:10She 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 there,
00:40:23we 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,
00:40:33well,
00:40:35now's as good a time as any.
00:40:38Liam.
00:40:40Our 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,
00:40:49we need to find another outlet for your...
00:40:52temptations.
00:40:53Someone more suitable.
00:40:56Melody, meet your fiancée.
00:41:04Pleasure.
00:41:10to meet my future wife.
00:41:15Melody, this is Leo Castellan,
00:41:16Olympic gold medalist.
00:41:18I was going to wait
00:41:19to tell you the good news
00:41:21about your arranged engagement.
00:41:23Leo Castellan?
00:41:24Where do I know that name from?
00:41:25Given the circumstances,
00:41:27Leo has agreed not only to marry you,
00:41:29but to take over your training as well.
00:41:31What?
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 fiancée.
00:41:41Either accept Leo
00:41:42or 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 lie, 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
00:42:15makes me want to cry.
00:42:16I have to find a way
00:42:17out of this engagement.
00:42:18Just family stuff.
00:42:19Looking a little stiff.
00:42:39Would it last night
00:42:39kind of wear you out?
00:42:41No.
00:42:43Just the opposite.
00:42:44Melody.
00:42:50Enjoying your last training session
00:42:52with your washed-up coach?
00:42:55What the hell are you doing
00:42:56on my campus?
00:42:57Just picking up my fiancée.
00:43:00You didn't tell me.
00:43:01You know, Roman,
00:43:01it happened so fast.
00:43:02Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:03Did you know about this
00:43:04when we were...
00:43:05No.
00:43:07Forget it.
00:43:09Congratulations to the both of you.
00:43:11No!
00:43:12Roman, wait!
00:43:12What could you possibly
00:43:14have 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
00:43:21that you're still wasting time here.
00:43:26I get it.
00:43:28Just like a means to an end, huh?
00:43:31In here, I thought that an Ashworth
00:43:32was capable of more
00:43:33than just playing games.
00:43:38No, Roman!
00:43:39He's just mad because he knows
00:43:40he's not good enough for you.
00:43:41As 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,
00:43:50you can kiss your family fortune goodbye.
00:43:53I'd rather die than marry you.
00:43:57Don't say no to me.
00:43:58Nobody says no to me.
00:44:06I just did!
00:44:08You're gonna regret that,
00:44:10princess!
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:21So,
00:44:25you found out the truth about Melody.
00:44:30I bet you guys care more
00:44:31about your legacy
00:44:31than the feelings
00:44:32of actual human beings.
00:44:37Was that a line?
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:40Well,
00:44:45I 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
00:44:59with a real champion.
00:45:01Like me.
00:45:02You're no champion.
00:45:13You've coasted on your name
00:45:14and neglected your duties
00:45:15to your team.
00:45:16Here's a tip.
00:45:18Spend more time on fencing
00:45:19and less on inappropriate
00:45:20suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:25Let's see your practice,
00:45:26Miss Ashworth.
00:45:26Oh, Clifton.
00:45:47You do things
00:45:48my husband would never dare.
00:45:51Does he know anything about us?
00:45:53He won't find out
00:45:54as long as you do that favor
00:45:56I asked for it.
00:45:59Anything for you.
00:46:02My mother is having an affair
00:46:04with the university president?
00:46:12Whoa!
00:46:13You're sleeping
00:46:13with President Clifton?
00:46:14Shh!
00:46:15You saw nothing.
00:46:17Got it?
00:46:17Dad deserves to know.
00:46:18He won't believe a word
00:46:19from his scandal-ridden daughter.
00:46:22You already lost his trust.
00:46:24Once you had your little fling
00:46:26with Coach, right?
00:46:27Mom!
00:46:29How could you?
00:46:30Well, I'll be better off
00:46:32once Lauren wins
00:46:33and you're no longer
00:46:34our problem.
00:46:36If you say a word,
00:46:39your tuition vanishes.
00:46:42Got it?
00:46:42Robin thinks I used him
00:46:53and my mom's cheating
00:46:54on my dad
00:46:54and if I don't marry Leo
00:46:56I'm gonna lose everything.
00:46:58You're gonna win
00:46:59the championships
00:47:00and your mom's gonna
00:47:01eat her words
00:47:01and then you can
00:47:02divorce Leo's crusty-ass promise.
00:47:04I can't marry him.
00:47:06Holy shit.
00:47:13The school's exclusive
00:47:14fencing society
00:47:15invited us to join.
00:47:16Tonight.
00:47:17This is your perfect chance
00:47:19to fix things with Roman.
00:47:20He won't talk to me.
00:47:22It's no good.
00:47:24He risked his career
00:47:26for you.
00:47:28I'm gonna fix your makeup.
00:47:30We're going.
00:47:31What is Leo doing here?
00:47:50What kind of fencing society
00:47:51is 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?
00:48:01For a minute to me, John, please.
00:48:06Stop.
00:48:09Attention, champions.
00:48:13I'm Leo Castellan,
00:48:15president of the
00:48:16Looney University
00:48:17Elite Fencing Society.
00:48:18You're all here
00:48:19because you are the best.
00:48:21Well, most of you.
00:48:26How about we kick off
00:48:27tonight's festivities
00:48:28with a little game of skill.
00:48:29Who knows how to play
00:48:31strip points?
00:48:33I thought that game was banned.
00:48:35It's like a strip tease
00:48:36in dual form.
00:48:37Get the shirt off your opponent
00:48:39without touching their skin.
00:48:40If you're good,
00:48:42it should be easy.
00:48:44But if not,
00:48:45I guess we'll see.
00:48:47Their shirt
00:48:47or
00:48:48their dress.
00:48:52The loser owes the winner a favor.
00:48:55Melody Ashworth.
00:48:57Care to help me demonstrate?
00:48:58Since you're so eager
00:49:00to take your clothes off,
00:49:02maybe I should go first?
00:49:06Okay, princess.
00:49:08If you lose,
00:49:09I get an hour with you.
00:49:11Whatever I want.
00:49:12Oh, this is gonna be so good.
00:49:29Good thing I never touch your body
00:49:31with a 10-foot pole.
00:49:33I just have to get his shirt off
00:49:34without touching him.
00:49:35Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:37Focus.
00:49:37Focus.
00:49:38Focus.
00:49:38Focus.
00:49:39Focus.
00:49:39Focus.
00:49:40Focus.
00:49:40Focus.
00:49:41Focus.
00:49:41Focus.
00:49:42Focus.
00:49:43Focus.
00:49:44Focus.
00:49:45Focus.
00:49:46Focus.
00:49:47Focus.
00:49:48Focus.
00:49:49Focus.
00:49:50Oops.
00:49:51That's a touch.
00:49:53Bummer.
00:49:54And she chokes.
00:49:56Classic Melody.
00:49:57Always screw it up.
00:49:59You moved.
00:50:00Now, now, don't be a sore loser.
00:50:04Why don't we talk about that favor you owe me.
00:50:07I can do whatever I want with you.
00:50:09What do you say we go upstairs?
00:50:10You can make me forget about how you humiliated me.
00:50:11Okay, this is done.
00:50:12I saw you cheat.
00:50:13Well, that's quite the accusation.
00:50:14Coming from the guy who didn't bother to show his face at our Olympic bout.
00:50:20I guess those who can't do teach.
00:50:21She's not going anywhere with you.
00:50:22Oh, really?
00:50:23You're going to put your blade behind that?
00:50:24You want to bow?
00:50:25Right now?
00:50:26Oh, look, Roman Wright protecting his pathetic little pet.
00:50:43How cute.
00:50:44You, me, real blades.
00:50:47No mask, no gear, just skill.
00:50:49If you win, I'll forego Melody's favor to Melody's favor to make you.
00:50:53I'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, right?
00:51:03I'm fine.
00:51:07Let's finish this now.
00:51:09But on my terms, full gear, official rules,
00:51:13how it was supposed to be.
00:51:16Sure.
00:51:18Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:23Roman, 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.
00:51:33Unless you forfeit.
00:51:35Not to you ever again.
00:51:53Coach Rike's in the lead.
00:52:02Whoa!
00:52:03Whoa!
00:52:04Whoa!
00:52:05Whoa!
00:52:06Whoa!
00:52:17Whoa!
00:52:18Whoa!
00:52:19Whoa!
00:52:20Whoa!
00:52:21Whoa!
00:52:22Whoa!
00:52:25I won.
00:52:27We done here?
00:52:29I never lose!
00:52:33No!
00:52:34No!
00:52:35Stop!
00:52:36I'm the best in the world,
00:52:37and I'm gonna take what's mine.
00:52:38Get off of her!
00:52:39Oh!
00:52:40That was a huge mistake, right?
00:52:45I'm gonna 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.
00:52:54I know.
00:52:55We're leaving.
00:52:56Oh!
00:52:57We're leaving.
00:52:59No!
00:53:00No!
00:53:01No!
00:53:02Here, let me.
00:53:03No!
00:53:04No!
00:53:05No!
00:53:06He put his hands on you.
00:53:08I had no choice.
00:53:09I had to protect you and I lost control.
00:53:12You fought your rival.
00:53:15The man who ruined your life.
00:53:18And you won.
00:53:21Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:25I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:27You don't want to be with him?
00:53:28I tried to tell you my family forced me to be with Leo.
00:53:32But I hate him.
00:53:36I'm falling for you.
00:53:41I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:44I know I shouldn't.
00:53:45And I've tried to forget you.
00:53:47But 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.
00:54:06When 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.
00:54:23I love you.
00:54:26I love you, too.
00:54:28I love you.
00:54:58June, what is it?
00:54:59I'm sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials.
00:55:01It's really bad.
00:55:02What's going on?
00:55:07Hey!
00:55:09Hey!
00:55:11Hey!
00:55:11Hey!
00:55:12What?
00:55:14What's going on?
00:55:18Hey!
00:55:19Hey!
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:23Hey!
00:55:24Hey!
00:55:25Hey!
00:55:25Hey!
00:55:26Oh!
00:55:26OK, I'm going to go to the school and I will take full responsibility.
00:55:32I'll resign and I'll tell them that it was completely on me.
00:55:35No, it...
00:55:36If the video had the part where Leo forced himself on me, people would understand.
00:55:41No, people see what they want to see, okay?
00:55:43I'm not letting you throw your future away from me.
00:55:45Well, I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for saving me.
00:55:54President Clifton, he wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:58You promised me I won't lose you.
00:56:01You promised me I won't lose you.
00:56:31Your fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:35You've let us all down.
00:56:37President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:41That night, I...
00:56:41I...
00:56:42took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:45My temper got the better of me and I'm sorry.
00:56:48She's completely innocent.
00:56:50Roman, Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:54Coach Wright, you're fired.
00:56:57And you are lucky if the Ashworth family and the Castellano estate don't press charges.
00:57:03You can't fire him, he's the best coach you've ever had, he 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.
00:57:14Miss Ashworth, I'm gonna go pack my things.
00:57:16I'm gonna go pack my things.
00:57:25Roman 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,
00:57:58I'll be your new coach.
00:58:02And I quit.
00:58:09Bye-bye.
00:58:25I'm here for practice, coach.
00:58:28I'm not your coach anymore.
00:58:30Well, you said it yourself.
00:58:33If I'm going to win, I need to work harder than everyone else.
00:58:36Which means I need the best coach.
00:58:41Great.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:54Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:55I love you.
00:58:56I love you.
00:58:56I love you.
00:58:56I love you.
00:58:56Yeah.
00:58:58You're doing so much.
00:58:58That's it.
00:58:59You're doing this.
00:58:59No!
00:58:59No!
00:59:00Oh, my God.
00:59:02You're almost ready.
00:59:07I better be, because my dad's furious.
00:59:11Well, since I'm technically no longer your coach anymore,
00:59:16how 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.
00:59:33And besides, I don't want anything hurting this perfect face.
00:59:37What's wrong?
00:59:40The competition's in a few days.
00:59:42And even when Lauren's not cheating, she's good.
00:59:45I might lose.
00:59:46You won't.
00:59:47You're better.
00:59:48I'm serious.
00:59:51And after chasing after you, if I lose, with all the chaos I caused,
00:59:56I might lose more than my parents' support.
00:59:58It might be my scholarship.
01:00:00I'd be out on the streets.
01:00:01For the rest of my life, I will always be there for you.
01:00:05Even if you lose, which you won't, you will always
01:00:10have a place to stay and someone fighting in 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?
01:00:22No.
01:00:22Yes.
01:00:28I just realized something.
01:00:30Hmm.
01:00:31I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:35Honored students, faculty, alumni, many great fencing
01:00:45champions have arisen from these halls.
01:00:48A handful of them bear the Ashworth name.
01:00:51My daughters have trained to be the best, just as their forefathers
01:00:55did.
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.
01:01:24I hope he likes watching you lose.
01:01:26I 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!
01:01:49Point, Melody!
01:01:53Point, Lauren!
01:01:58Four, four.
01:01:59One point left.
01:02:01This decides the match.
01:02:02En garde.
01:02:03Prête?
01:02:05Allez!
01:02:15Point, Lauren Ashworth.
01:02:16The match is over!
01:02:16The match is over!
01:02:21That wasn't clean!
01:02:22Miss Melody Ashworth, the bout is over.
01:02:24You lost.
01:02:25You shouldn't be judging at all.
01:02:27Your word means nothing.
01:02:28What did you just say?
01:02:30You're having an affair with my mother.
01:02:31That 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 on your side.
01:02:44I 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?
01:02:55It's you.
01:02:58No.
01:03:03They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after.
01:03:08After Melody, how can...
01:03:10You went abroad and taught fencing for two years while I was pregnant.
01:03:14Clifton was there for me when you weren't.
01:03:16I had the children.
01:03:18I forged the hospital documents to make them twins.
01:03:21You came back and you didn't even notice.
01:03:24I only want Lauren to have the rightful place in this family.
01:03:28Agnes, I won't lie for you anymore.
01:03:31I'll give you your money back.
01:03:33Lauren cheated.
01:03:34You paid the university president so I'd win?
01:03:37No, honey, no.
01:03:38What the fuck, Mom?
01:03:39I'm better than this!
01:03:40No!
01:03:41Not only is President Clifton an unfit judge, but Lauren is not my blood daughter.
01:03:48Melody, you win by default.
01:03:49No.
01:03:50Congratulations.
01:03:51No!
01:03:52Wait, I still want to fight for my legacy.
01:03:54We'll go again if she promises not to cheat.
01:03:59I'll judge.
01:04:01Lauren may not be my blood daughter, but I did raise you both.
01:04:05But I'm the true Ashworth heir.
01:04:08And I'm gonna fucking prove it, bitch.
01:04:13Go, Melody!
01:04:14Duh!
01:04:15Just stay focused.
01:04:18Remember your strategy.
01:04:19Engarde!
01:04:19If you've leeched on this family for way too long, I earned this legacy.
01:04:24Then shut up and prove it.
01:04:25All right?
01:04:25I didn't have to give you a second chance.
01:04:27Unlike you, I have honor and standards.
01:04:29Allez!
01:04:39And the final point goes to...
01:04:42Melody!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44This is a fair!
01:04:45I deserve to win!
01:04:47Don't worry.
01:04:48I'll make sure you're taken care of, even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:55George, 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, and I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:20I fired Leo Castellan, and if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:25Apology accepted.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:27But, um, I'm not interested in being a university coach anymore.
01:05:31There's, um, only one world-class fencer that I want to train for the rest of my life, if she'll put up with me.
01:05:39And 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?
01:05:48Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:53Yes, I will.
01:05:55I love you.
01:05:56I love you, too.
