- 2 days ago
Their dad turned sisterhood into a war zone. One twin fights fair. The other fights dirty. And only one walks away with it all. If your legacy was on the line - how far would you go?

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.
00:01:54I'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.
00:02:18Found, 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 longer.
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.
00:04:28Oops.
00:04:30I 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.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:45Bye.
00:04:46Bye.
00:04:47Bye.
00:04:48Bye.
00:04:49Bye.
00:04:50Bye.
00:04:51Bye.
00:04:52Bye.
00:04:53Bye.
00:04:54Bye.
00:04:55Bye.
00:04:56Bye.
00:04:57Bye.
00:04:58Bye.
00:04:59Bye.
00:05:00Bye.
00:05:01Bye.
00:05:02Bye.
00:05:03Bye.
00:05:04Bye.
00:05:05Bye.
00:05:06Bye.
00:05:13Bye.
00:05:27Bye.
00:05:28Bye.
00:05:28Bye.
00:05:29Bye.
00:05:29No, I see.
00:05:38Your word hurts.
00:05:41There.
00:05:43Sit.
00:05:44I'm fine.
00:05:45It wasn't a suggestion.
00:05:46Sit.
00:05:59If you push through this pain, you're going to break yourself.
00:06:15Don't be reckless.
00:06:16What if I want to be reckless, coach?
00:06:24Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:29Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:59I can train you.
00:07:00You will?
00:07:02If you're willing to wake up early, meet me on the field 6 a.m. sharp on Friday.
00:07:07Do not be late.
00:07:08Miss Melody, there's a car waiting for you up front.
00:07:35What?
00:07:37I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:38Shut up, stupid.
00:07:43We're not being murdered.
00:08:02What the hell is happening?
00:08:04Oh, God.
00:08:08Ah, there they are.
00:08:34You are my champions.
00:08:35Dad, I had another class.
00:08:37Yeah, and I had a date.
00:08:39Daddy, it's literally only the second day of college.
00:08:41Silence!
00:08:41According to centuries-old Ashworth tradition, your first year at university determines your
00:08:53fate.
00:08:54Whoever wins the fencing championship in June shall inherit our estate.
00:09:01The other shall be removed from the will.
00:09:03When an Ashworth generation bears two children of equal age, only one may inherit our legacy.
00:09:15This honor must be decided in their 21st year according to a duel.
00:09:21Dad, are you drunk?
00:09:22Sober as the edge of a blade.
00:09:25So you're saying one of us is going to get kicked out of the will by the end of the year?
00:09:29We'll fund a championship bout at the university.
00:09:33My twin brother and I competed there decades ago, as did the last twins before us.
00:09:38Wait, so that's why Uncle Rob lives in a hut off the grid?
00:09:42And you went to the Olympics.
00:09:43This is not a game.
00:09:46No distractions, no cheating, no bribery, or sabotage.
00:09:51This is a test of skill.
00:09:53Only clean fencing.
00:09:57That's easy.
00:09:58Because I was born for this.
00:10:00So was I.
00:10:00If I don't beat Lauren at the end of the year, I'll lose everything.
00:10:15There's an exclusive varsity athlete party tonight, and you're all invited.
00:10:19See you there.
00:10:26Melody, are you coming?
00:10:27Well, no, Melody is not invited.
00:10:31The only reason why she's even on our team is because of our family name, which she won't
00:10:36be having much longer.
00:10:37I don't care about your party.
00:10:57Lauren, you've stepped on me our whole lives.
00:11:25That changes tonight.
00:11:26I don't care about your family name, but I don't care about your family name, but I don't
00:11:38want to know how I'll be stressing, I don't be stressing, because I look good 24-7, I'm hot
00:11:4624-7.
00:11:50Melody made it!
00:11:52Hi!
00:11:53Nice 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.
00:12:03Ugh, bitch.
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, okay, what are you doing?
00:12:15You don't owe her your time.
00:12:17Come on.
00:12:18Hello?
00:12:20Can you not be a pig?
00:12:21Let's go!
00:12:24Excuse!
00:12:25June!
00:12:26No, June!
00:12:26No, June!
00:12:27What?
00:12:28No!
00:12:28For you!
00:12:29I'm sorry!
00:12:32Let's go, bitches!
00:12:33Come on, everyone, let's start playing!
00:12:47Yay!
00:12:47Yay!
00:12:51Justin!
00:12:52Truth or dare?
00:12:54Dare.
00:12:54Well, I dare you to kiss the hottest girl in the room.
00:13:05Uh-huh!
00:13:05Oh, my God!
00:13:10Oh, my God!
00:13:14What?
00:13:15Her?
00:13:15You must be joking!
00:13:16Kind of like how you were joking when you cheated at our fencing map?
00:13:20Shut up, attention whore.
00:13:22You act like you're untouchable, but you still sleep with Mr. Bear just like when you were
00:13:26five.
00:13:27That is not true!
00:13:28Here, look, I have a picture.
00:13:30Look.
00:13:34That'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.
00:13:52Roman Wright, I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:12I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:14No.
00:14:17Scared I'll win?
00:14:18Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:19You're going to poke your own eye out.
00:14:20No one believes in me.
00:14:23Come on!
00:14:26That's enough.
00:14:28Let go!
00:14:28Fight me!
00:14:35I'm going to lose.
00:14:37Lauren's going to beat me at the end of the year, and I'm going to get kicked out of my
00:14:40family's will.
00:14:41Not if I train you.
00:14:43You remember?
00:14:446 a.m.
00:14:45tomorrow morning?
00:14:46Or did you forget?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50You're impossible.
00:15:02Well, well, she lives.
00:15:16I regret my entire life.
00:15:18Champions train under brutal conditions, even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:24Fantastic.
00:15:25I'll poison myself before every practice.
00:15:27He wouldn't be the first college athlete.
00:15:29He wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:30Okay, come.
00:15:31Stretch.
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:33Yeah.
00:15:33Yeah.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:34This will help your injury.
00:15:46That feels good.
00:15:52Um, suit up.
00:15:55Since your right hand is injured,
00:15:57you'll train with your left.
00:16:04I can't.
00:16:08Yes, you can.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:14En garde.
00:16:16Oh!
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
00:16:28and fight me.
00:16:34Come on.
00:16:39Again.
00:16:46You're too stiff.
00:16:48Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:50Again.
00:16:58Well done.
00:17:00But it 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.
00:17:25Something hurt?
00:17:27Can he tell what I'm thinking?
00:17:29Is it obvious?
00:17:30Our 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.
00:17:51Okay, 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.
00:18:24I can't.
00:18:24I can't.
00:18:25Okay, do not ask me again or I won't be able to train you.
00:18:26Hey, Dad.
00:18:37Your sister warned me you might be distracted from the competition.
00:18:41Should I be worried?
00:18:42No.
00:18:43No distractions.
00:18:52Did Melody really blow Coach Wright?
00:18:54She practically begged him.
00:18:57So embarrassing.
00:18:59Well, that's one way to win championships.
00:19:04Ignore them and stay focused.
00:19:06From now on, no more distractions.
00:19:13Today we'll be using practice gloves for tactical training.
00:19:20Hi, Coach Wright.
00:19:20Remember, fencing is about physical and mental control.
00:19:27In the heat of the fight, you'll want to give in to your impulses.
00:19:30The many you do, you've lost.
00:19:34All right, pair off.
00:19:40En garde.
00:19:41Prêt.
00:19:43Allez!
00:19:43This is Ashereth.
00:19:54Your tempo's off and your recovery's sloppy.
00:19:58Nice form.
00:19:59Excellent work.
00:20:02All right, that's it for today, everyone.
00:20:04You're free to go.
00:20:09Not you.
00:20:10Run 10 laps.
00:20:11Seriously?
00:20:13Seriously?
00:20:29What the hell's your problem?
00:20:33First you pretend like I don't exist, and then you publicly humiliate me while I'm winning?
00:20:37You asked for this.
00:20:39I 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.
00:20:55Nothing happened.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:02Nothing happened.
00:21:03Nothing happened.
00:21:03I told you, he's not into second-rate amateurs.
00:21:14But don't worry.
00:21:16I'll keep his lap warm for you.
00:21:22Is Roman checking out Boren?
00:21:24Of course he is.
00:21:25I'm so stupid.
00:21:26I don't have time for this.
00:21:28Bye.
00:21:29Hey, coach.
00:21:31Roman won't help me and Lauren's out for blood.
00:21:39I can't waste any more time.
00:21:46Ignore the pain, or Lauren wins.
00:21:48What 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 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.
00:22:58Okay?
00:22:59I 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.
00:23:22All 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.
00:23:39Your 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, honey.
00:24:00A word?
00:24:01Okay.
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
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.
00:24:49Enough.
00:25:00Settle 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.
00:25:49What 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.
00:25:56I'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.
00:26:14You owe me an extra morning training session tomorrow 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.
00:26:52I 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.
00:27:02Okay?
00:27:09Hey.
00:27:13Go get your strength back.
00:27:14I'm going.
00:27:39Well done.
00:27:40I learned from the best.
00:27:41Are 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.
00:27:59I think I'm okay.
00:28:01I think I'm okay.
00:28:03I think I'm maybe, might be diving into direction.
00:28:08I've gone and tried into the night.
00:28:10But trying to fight it, but trying to fight it, but trying to fight it, but trying to fight it.
00:28:13Tell me to stop.
00:28:14Keep going.
00:28:17I know.
00:28:18Tell me how I know you were.
00:28:22Everything you've ever dreamed.
00:28:29Got me thinking, is this love?
00:28:32My 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 love you.
00:28:51Oh my god.
00:28:52What's going on?
00:28:55June is now what I'm excited.
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.
00:29:09June, we're friends, right?
00:29:22Sure.
00:29:23And friends help each other out.
00:29:26And enemies, enemies 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.
00:30:06I can't get your taste off my lips.
00:30:15Roman?
00:30:16I thought you never wanted to see me again.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:22Let's do this.
00:30:36What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:50You 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.
00:31:04Wait, 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 sea.
00:31:24You have no proof.
00:31:26You sure about that?
00:31:28I have been watching your every move since we were kids.
00:31:34I know your weak spots.
00:31:36And I know the ending.
00:31:37And I always fucking hurt him.
00:31:42Hey.
00:31:43Hey, 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, you ambushed me.
00:31:56She's fucking crazy.
00:32:00Can you do something about this and kick her off the team before someone gets hurt and has to 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.
00:32:21I will not be a pawn in your sibling rivalry.
00:32:24I thought you two were honorable fencers.
00:32:27Not catty, immature children who risk their futures with idiotic fights.
00:32:32But I...
00:32:32Do not give me any excuse right now.
00:32:35You pull a stunt like this again, you're off the team.
00:32:39Both of you.
00:33:02At least I can sleep in on Fridays now.
00:33:07Melody, there you are.
00:33:10What do you want?
00:33:11Look, I screwed up.
00:33:13Whatever is between you and Roman, it is none of my business.
00:33:16And it's just...
00:33:18Lauren threatened my fencing scholarship.
00:33:21And 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.
00:33:32I want to make it up to you.
00:33:35There's this invite-only networking party tonight.
00:33:38And it's just for legacy fencing champions.
00:33:41And students with Olympic put coaches, alumni, scouts.
00:33:45They're all gonna 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.
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.
00:34:06Compared to what my life has been like lately.
00:34:19Everyone's staring.
00:34:43Because you're hot shit.
00:34:46Own it.
00:34:49Oh 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.
00:35:12I can't stop thinking about Roman.
00:35:16But here's this hot guy completely into me.
00:35:19I should be enjoying this.
00:35:21A true gentleman.
00:35:28Hey.
00:35:29Coach, mate.
00:35:30I saw you spiking.
00:35:31What?
00:35:31No, I didn't.
00:35:33Drink it.
00:35:39Whoa, hey man.
00:35:40Whoa.
00:35:42Rufies.
00:35:43What, you were gonna 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 and tomorrow you'll be expelled.
00:35:55I could have handled myself.
00:35:56I just saved your ass.
00:35:58Oh, my knight in shining armor.
00:36:00I thought we weren't supposed to be alone anymore.
00:36:02He could have raped you, okay?
00:36:04I wanted to kill him.
00:36:05Oh, so you care about me.
00:36:08Admit you care about me.
00:36:09Yes, okay?
00:36:11I care about you.
00:36:13Even when you're fencing, I cannot get you out of my brain.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:19Tell me to stop and I will.
00:36:20I'll kill you.
00:36:29I mean, that's exactly right.
00:36:36Oh, I interviewed you.
00:36:40Oh, I don't want to.

00:52:38Get off of her!
00:52:41That was a huge mistake, Bright.
00:52:45I'm going to destroy whatever's left of your career.
00:52:47Come on.
00:52:48We're leaving.
00:52:50Oh, that was way better than I thought.
00:52:54Here, let me.
00:53:04You've done enough.
00:53:05He put his hands on you.
00:53:07I 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.
00:53:20Yeah, 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, but I hate him.
00:53:35I'm falling for you.
00:53:36I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:42I 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.
00:53:56I'm falling for the guy that just by touching you could lose everything.
00:54:00And 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.
00:54:15More than my leg and more than my fencing career.
00:54:19I could never lie to you.
00:54:22Not about how I feel.
00:54:25I love you.
00:54:27I love you too.
00:54:29I love you too.
00:54:56I love you too.
00:54:58Gion, what is it?
00:54:59Sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials.
00:55:01It's really bad.
00:55:02Hey!
00:55:03Hey!

00:55:25Hey!
00:55:26Hey!
00:55:27Hey!
00:55:28Hey!
00:55:29I'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.
00:55:36No!
00:55:37Shit, what a world!
00:55:38If 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.
00:55:53President Clifton, he wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:58You promise me I won't lose him.
00:56:08Is it true?
00:56:16My employee assaulted an Olympic alumnus and then took a student home?
00:56:23The press is banging on our doors.
00:56:25It is a scandal.
00:56:28And Miss Ashworth, your family's reputation and fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:35You've let us all down.
00:56:36President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:40That night, I...
00:56:41I 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.
00:56:50Rome.
00:56:51Coach 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 she...
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'm going to pack my things.
00:57:24Rome Wright, don't walk away from me.
00:57:27We have to fight this.
00:57:28It's over, Miss Ashworth.
00:57:30I'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.
00:57:47Ladies 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.
00:58:02Bye-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,
00:58:35which means I need the best coach.
00:58:41Great.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:54Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:58That's it.
00:58:59You're doing this.
00:59:01Oh, my God.
00:59:06You're almost ready.
00:59:08I better be, because my dad's furious.
00:59:11Well, since I'm technically no longer your coach anymore,
00:59:17how 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.
00:59:46You won't.
00:59:48You're better.
00:59:50I'm serious.
00:59:52And after chasing after you, if I lose,
00:59:55with all the chaos I caused,
00:59:56I might lose more than my parents' support.
00:59:58It might be my scholarship.
01:00:01I'd be out on the streets.
01:00:01For 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.
01:00:17What?
01:00:18You have soy sauce on your nose.
01:00:20Oh, my God.
01:00:21What, did I get it?
01:00:22Yes.
01:00:22I just realized something.
01:00:30Hmm.
01:00:31I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:34Hmm.
01:00:34Hmm.
01:00:35Honored students, faculty, alumni,
01:00:42many 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.
01:01:03The 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.
01:01:22I'm surprised I let Roman show up.
01:01:25I hope he likes watching you lose.
01:01:26I 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!
01:01:47Point, 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!
01:02:06Point, Lauren Ashworth!
01:02:16The match is over!
01:02:17Ah!
01:02:21That wasn't clean!
01:02:23Miss Melody Ashworth, the bout is over.
01:02:25You lost.
01:02:26You shouldn't be judging at all.
01:02:27Your 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.
01:02:33That is a dangerous and baseless accusation.
01:02:38After 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 on your side.
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?
01:02:58Oh, no.
01:02:58They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after.
01:03:08After Melody, how can, how can I?
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.
01:03:17I 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.
01:03:52Wait, I still want to fight for my legacy.
01:03:55We'll go again if she promises not to cheat.
01:04:00I'll judge.
01:04:02Lauren may not be my blood daughter, but I did raise you both.
01:04:05And 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!
01:04:16Just stay focused.
01:04:18Remember your strategy.
01:04:19Angad!
01:04:19If you've leeched on this family for way too long, I earned this legacy.
01:04:23Then 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.
01:04:29All right!
01:04:34No!
01:04:35And the final point goes to Melody!
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, even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:54George, this was a mistake.
01:04:57I still love you.
01:04:59We're getting a divorce.
01:05:00I'm so proud of you.
01:05:12Mr. Wright, I clearly misjudged your situation, and I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:19I fired Leo Castellan, and if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:26But, 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 for the rest of my life, if she'll put up with me.
01:05:40And then if I'm lucky, one day when she graduates and maybe wins an Olympic gold medal, I'll put a ring on her finger.
01:05:46What do you think about that, Miss Ashworth?
01:05:48Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:53Yes, I will.
01:05:57I love you, too.
01:05:57I love you, too.
