00:00:05Music. My only savior. My only voice. With my fingers on the black and ivory keys. It's the only time
00:00:14I'm truly free. When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano. And my bastard brother.
00:00:25Where's your cash, bitch? I'll get the loan sharks after me. And if you don't pay them back, I'm just
00:00:30going to ship you off to their strip club myself. Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your
00:00:35own mess, big brother. Maybe you should watch your mouth or your fingers are going to pay a price.
00:00:43It is your fault that we are in the hole. Dad, son, the family business to pay for your fancy
00:00:50music school. Did you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers? In your dreams.
00:01:00Oh, you're asking for it now. No, not my music sheets. No. Dad, I'll get every penny into your life
00:01:06insurance and you're worth more to me dead than a lot.
00:01:10All right on. Keep taking precious music shit and die with it.
00:01:25A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:01:28Hey! You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker! Lookit, she's bleeding!
00:01:33I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:01:37act.
00:01:38All right, then. You are not! Give her your fucking keys and your wallet or you're dead!
00:01:43Come and get it!
00:01:47Fuck it up!
00:01:48Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:01:50Fuck it up!
00:01:59Keep it. It's cold in the light.
00:02:05A stranger... saved me?
00:02:10Who is this?
00:02:17Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:02:19Detour. Almost at school.
00:02:22Good. Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:02:26This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance. No distractions, Emmerich.
00:02:31Not at all!
00:02:36The second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:02:39The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:02:42And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:02:52Oops!
00:02:53Watch it! Trailer tramp?
00:02:56Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:03:01I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
00:03:06It's true.
00:03:07The boys pay me to do their homework, then they do me.
00:03:11Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:03:14We're getting pawned off as a plaything for Lone Sharks.
00:03:18But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:03:21It's what my dad always wanted.
00:03:23And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:03:25Have you heard?
00:03:26The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:03:31Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed the spot.
00:03:35And he is so hot.
00:03:38He is.
00:03:39The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:03:41And yeah.
00:03:42Keep it.
00:03:45Stop obsessing over some hot stranger, Ivory.
00:03:48You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:03:51Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:03:54What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:03:56A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:04:00They'd rust this guy, huh?
00:04:02Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:04:04Pick the jacket off and give it to me.
00:04:06You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls
00:04:10to take their clothes off for you.
00:04:15What do we have here?
00:04:16Give it back, Prescott.
00:04:17You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:04:19Then give me the jacket.
00:04:20Now.
00:04:21You shouldn't have run in your mouth then.
00:04:28No!
00:04:32I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:04:34And make it good.
00:04:35You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:04:49Back away.
00:04:51You're not asking twice.
00:04:57She's my student?
00:05:01It can't be.
00:05:03He's my new professor?
00:05:05He's my new professor?
00:05:07Go to the nurse.
00:05:09Get cleaned up.
00:05:13With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition,
00:05:16I won't let a scrap shortchange my education.
00:05:19First lesson in my class.
00:05:21Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:05:24Or what?
00:05:26You're going to report me to the dean?
00:05:27That's my mom, dumbass.
00:05:31Well, I'll report you to after I tell the police
00:05:33you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:05:36You think you'll look cute and cuss.
00:05:40That's what I thought.
00:05:41Find your seat, Mr. Riven.
00:05:46For those of you who are ready to learn,
00:05:49I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
00:05:52I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
00:05:55Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
00:05:58And yes, I only choose the best.
00:06:01He could be my mentor.
00:06:03He could recommend the fellowship.
00:06:04But that means private lessons.
00:06:07Every week.
00:06:08Alone.
00:06:09With him.
00:06:10Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
00:06:13The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:06:21Do we have a problem?
00:06:24Miss...
00:06:25Westbrook?
00:06:26Ivory Westbrook?
00:06:28I'll have my book by Friday.
00:06:29Once I make enough money.
00:06:34Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:06:40He saved my life earlier.
00:06:42And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:06:44I should be furious, but...
00:06:46Why does my heart pound so hard when he's close?
00:06:49Discipline.
00:06:52Find your discipline.
00:06:54Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:06:57Understood.
00:07:01Don't worry.
00:07:02I'll drill it after school.
00:07:04I'll drill it real hard.
00:07:07One more word.
00:07:08And you're flunking this class.
00:07:10Bye-bye Bahamas.
00:07:12Say hello to summer school.
00:07:15Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
00:07:16My office.
00:07:17Now.
00:07:19You don't have to do that.
00:07:20I told you I would get the books.
00:07:21You didn't have to call me out like that in front of the whole class.
00:07:23I don't know if you noticed, but how'd you stop them from taunting you?
00:07:26Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
00:07:28Maybe you should just take this back.
00:07:30Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:07:34Keep it.
00:07:35Now tell me.
00:07:37Why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
00:07:41I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:07:45Did your brother do this and was that prick Prescott?
00:07:48Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:07:52Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning,
00:07:56so really, Professor?
00:07:57I'm fine.
00:08:00That's it.
00:08:01Lift your shirt.
00:08:06What the hell?
00:08:07You're my professor.
00:08:09And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:08:12I am 19.
00:08:13I'm not a child.
00:08:14What I've witnessed this morning, you're gonna have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises
00:08:18or I'm gonna be forced to make a call.
00:08:22I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:08:39That's enough.
00:08:40I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:08:42He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
00:08:46There's no hunger in his eyes.
00:08:48Just worry.
00:08:50Maybe he's not like the others.
00:08:51Now, why don't you show me what you got, Miss Westbrook?
00:08:58My dream.
00:08:59My dad's dream.
00:09:00All comes down to this.
00:09:02Deep breath.
00:09:04God.
00:09:05Why won't my fingers move?
00:09:09I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
00:09:12You only have to trust me.
00:09:16I trust you, Professor.
00:09:18Good.
00:09:20Now look ahead.
00:09:25I want you to forget everything.
00:09:32Now, play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:09:36His voice, his commands.
00:09:39Why is this warmth rushing through my veins?
00:09:48Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw, wild, powerful.
00:09:57I've never heard anything like it.
00:10:00That's enough.
00:10:04God, did I screw up that bad?
00:10:07Now, you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods,
00:10:10which means I need a student who is 100% committed to following my rules.
00:10:14Can you handle that?
00:10:16I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
00:10:18I've never played like that.
00:10:20He can help me become a better musician.
00:10:23I can.
00:10:23Professor, I'm committed.
00:10:25In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:10:27Did you hear that?
00:10:29For like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
00:10:31She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:10:34I'm sorry.
00:10:39You're all dismissed.
00:10:40Go find another instructor.
00:10:44What the fuck just happened?
00:10:50Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:10:54Consider we'll be in the spare room for four hours every day.
00:10:57Have some ground rules to lay.
00:11:04First rule, no lies.
00:11:07So tell me, where were you going to get the money for your textbooks?
00:11:10It's none of your business.
00:11:11Second, do not question my methods.
00:11:17Third, never look away.
00:11:20Eyes on me.
00:11:22Always.
00:11:24Not once if you understand.
00:11:28Good girl.
00:11:30Why are you doing what we saw?
00:11:32425, Miss Westbrook.
00:11:354.0 GPA.
00:11:36The only scholarship student.
00:11:38My school was the same.
00:11:40But thanks to his mentor, the scholarship kid, got the Leopold Fellowship and wound that
00:11:44playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:11:46You know what he's doing today.
00:11:48What?
00:11:49He's talking to you.
00:11:51I'll give you my address and door pin.
00:11:53If you don't have anywhere else to go, you come to me.
00:11:57Look at me.
00:11:59I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:01Professor Marceau?
00:12:04Oh.
00:12:09Oh, I didn't know you were with the student, Professor Marceau.
00:12:12Just routine audition, Dean River.
00:12:14You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:27Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:31Stop it.
00:12:32He's your professor.
00:12:34Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
00:12:39I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:12:41I don't care who you mentor, but you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:12:47You're going to report me to the dean?
00:12:48That's my mom, dumbass.
00:12:50What?
00:12:51Is this why you hired me?
00:12:53It's not that hard.
00:12:55Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:12:59The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:13:03And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
00:13:09That got your attention.
00:13:11Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
00:13:15She's my student.
00:13:16Exactly.
00:13:18So tell Ivory to back off or I'll ruin her and she'll have no future left.
00:13:23Don't forget, I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:13:38Oh, Professor.
00:13:39So, about Leopold-
00:13:40Miss Westbrook, maybe the Fellowship isn't the best option for you.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:46You just promised to help me and now you're already going back on your word?
00:13:51You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
00:13:53No.
00:13:54Wait.
00:13:55She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:13:58Admit it.
00:13:59You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
00:14:01I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
00:14:04Why should I?
00:14:06Why should I give up?
00:14:07To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott River.
00:14:10Tell Ivory to back off or I'll ruin her.
00:14:13So you'll use your experimental methods on me.
00:14:16But when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
00:14:27You want to know why?
00:14:28Because of childish behavior like this.
00:14:30They're not ready.
00:14:33End of discussion.
00:14:42I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:14:44I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:14:45You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
00:14:54I thought I heard her voice.
00:14:56Where did she go?
00:15:05Oh my...
00:15:06Fucking touch me, Prescott.
00:15:07You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
00:15:14500.
00:15:15If you lose the shirt.
00:15:17Oh, come on, Ivory.
00:15:18I know your price.
00:15:20You want money for rent?
00:15:21Books?
00:15:22Then strip.
00:15:25I guess I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
00:15:28I need that money.
00:15:30Or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
00:15:33Strip!
00:15:34Strip!
00:15:35Strip!
00:15:35Strip!
00:15:36Strip!
00:15:36Strip!
00:15:36Strip!
00:15:37Strip!
00:15:37Strip!
00:15:37Strip!
00:15:37Strip!
00:15:38Strip!
00:15:41Strip!
00:15:43Strip!
00:15:45Strip!
00:15:45Strip!
00:15:47Underwear.
00:15:49Oh my god.
00:15:53I'm on your side.
00:15:55It's Whisper.
00:15:55He's just my professor.
00:15:57But why am I praying that he'll come for me?
00:16:01Stop being such a prude school slut.
00:16:03Yeah, come on Ivory.
00:16:05Those racks are basically school property, okay?
00:16:09Stop testing my patients, Ivory.
00:16:11I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:16:15He's a professor, isn't he?
00:16:17I saw the way you look at him.
00:16:18You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:16:20Maybe.
00:16:21I'm just on being your personal rag doll.
00:16:23Stop!
00:16:26Acting now in class, huh?
00:16:28You're practically begging for a lesson.
00:16:30No.
00:16:31Let me go.
00:16:32Stop!
00:16:33Help!
00:16:34Aw.
00:16:34That's where the brass players emptied their spit.
00:16:37It's hot.
00:16:39Oh, she'll be fine.
00:16:41We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:16:44Chop!
00:16:45Chop!
00:16:46Chop!
00:16:46Chop!
00:16:47Chop!
00:16:48Chop!
00:16:49Chop!
00:16:50Chop!
00:16:51Chop!
00:16:51Chop!
00:16:52Chop!
00:16:52Chop!
00:16:52Chop!
00:16:59Take your hands off her!
00:17:05It seems like some of us still need a reminder of classroom etiquette.
00:17:11Mr. River, if we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will
00:17:16be how women describe your sorry dick.
00:17:19If I see one video of Ms. Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
00:17:24Come with me, Ms. Westbrook.
00:17:26Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:17:36Here's the textbook you need.
00:17:37You need something.
00:17:39Don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:17:41No charity case, Professor.
00:17:43This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
00:17:45This is an investment.
00:17:47In you.
00:17:48And your talent.
00:17:55After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:17:59Rule number two.
00:18:01Don't question my methods.
00:18:07My fingers are shaking.
00:18:10My heart is racing.
00:18:13All because of him.
00:18:14Your pulse is racing.
00:18:17Good.
00:18:19You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:18:21To take control.
00:18:25You can do it.
00:18:34Teach me.
00:18:35Professor.
00:18:40Please.
00:18:43This isn't appropriate, Ms. Westbrook.
00:18:46You're my professor.
00:18:48If I don't understand the instructions, you're supposed to show me.
00:18:58I need you to show me.
00:19:05Right hand on the keys.
00:19:08Now play.
00:19:18Follow my lead, Ms. Westbrook.
00:19:21Follow my lead, Ms. Westbrook.
00:19:27Ed.
00:19:28Feel.
00:19:30The rhythm pounding alongside your heartbeat.
00:19:36He gives me a power over my music that I've never felt before.
00:19:42And I want more.
00:19:46Why'd you stop?
00:19:50Answer me, Ms. Westbrook.
00:19:52Is this really how you teach all your students?
00:19:55Because it doesn't just feel like a mentorship to me.
00:19:59It feels like he wants me.
00:20:01Just like I want him.
00:20:05It started as training.
00:20:06But why does being close to her make me feel so much more?
00:20:10No.
00:20:11Back away, Emory.
00:20:12Before it's too late.
00:20:12It is my job to bring out the best performance in my students.
00:20:17And you're not even in control.
00:20:19Yes, I can.
00:20:20Really.
00:20:21Stand up.
00:20:29Turn around.
00:20:32Hands on the keys.
00:20:35But...
00:20:35Professor...
00:20:36Rule number two.
00:20:37Do not question my methods.
00:20:41Break another ruler and I'll have to punish you.
00:20:44Now be a good girl.
00:20:47And...
00:20:51Now play.
00:20:56If I can see you trembling, then you're not in control.
00:21:03I'm trembling for my professor and...
00:21:05He's not even touching me.
00:21:07It's torturous.
00:21:19If you stop playing, it'll make you start over Ms. Westbrook.
00:21:25There you go.
00:21:29His guidance, his presence...
00:21:33It's consuming me.
00:21:35I've never felt this way and...
00:21:37I don't want it to stop.
00:21:53What am I thinking?
00:21:55She's 19.
00:21:56She's young and vulnerable.
00:21:58I'm sorry.
00:21:59No, that's my mistake.
00:22:01Pack your things and go home.
00:22:02You don't expect me to believe all of this...
00:22:04is just a part of your pedagogy.
00:22:06Just some training?
00:22:07Well, what did you think this was, Ms. Westbrook?
00:22:10I'm an idiot.
00:22:11Did I really think there'd be something here?
00:22:13I'll always be a kid.
00:22:15Another student.
00:22:16How could he see me as more?
00:22:19You wanna know what I think, Professor?
00:22:21I think you should stop being a coward
00:22:23and admit that you don't think I'm good enough.
00:22:25Not for you.
00:22:26And not for the Leopold Fellowship.
00:22:30You are good enough, Ms. Westbrook.
00:22:33Why did you...
00:22:34What do I want?
00:22:36Just tell me the truth.
00:22:38What you're giving my son Prescott the Leopold Fellowship.
00:22:42Fuck it all.
00:22:43I'll burn my future for me and she'll get a shot at hers.
00:22:52Is this real?
00:22:54I...
00:22:55I want him.
00:22:56I want her.
00:22:57I do.
00:22:58So convince Ivory to back off.
00:23:01Or I'll ruin her.
00:23:02And she'll have no future left.
00:23:04Think about that.
00:23:06There's nothing more for me to say here.
00:23:10Whatever this is, I'm done.
00:23:15And I don't need your charity textbook, Professor.
00:23:18And guess what?
00:23:19I don't need you.
00:23:21So I will practice on my own piano until my fingers bleed.
00:23:24If that's what it takes.
00:23:25Because even if you don't believe in me, I do.
00:23:30I have to push her away.
00:23:32I feel too much for her.
00:23:34But I'll only break her.
00:23:44Ivory.
00:23:45You're home.
00:23:46Look, guys, guys, guys.
00:23:48I told you my little sister would come back with the money.
00:23:50Shane, you haven't paid the loan sharks back yet?
00:23:53Your brother's been scurrying me over for months.
00:23:55He owes me 50 big ones.
00:23:56So now, I'm taking everything to your name.
00:23:59Grab the piano.
00:24:01No, no, no.
00:24:01Please take anything else.
00:24:03My father gave me that.
00:24:04It's all I have left.
00:24:06Without the piano, I have no future left.
00:24:09I'll die here.
00:24:10Alone.
00:24:11If you love us so much, little missy, then pay up.
00:24:13Or I'll have my men smash into pieces.
00:24:15Three.
00:24:15Two.
00:24:16I don't have any money.
00:24:17One.
00:24:18Please.
00:24:18Too bad.
00:24:19No.
00:24:23No.
00:24:24No.
00:24:25No.
00:24:32No.
00:24:34Stop, please.
00:24:35Please, I'm begging you.
00:24:37Stop.
00:24:41You got 48 hours to pay up.
00:24:43Or I'll fuck you up so bad, you won't need a house no more.
00:24:46Because you'll be sleeping in a fucking graveyard.
00:24:53I don't care who you have to screw, sis.
00:24:56Get the money.
00:24:57Or I'm going to pawn you off the gym.
00:25:00I think he'll like how you taste.
00:25:02You're a disgusting monster.
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06Maybe.
00:25:07But I'm older.
00:25:08And I will always win.
00:25:10Maybe.
00:25:11She'll remember that.
00:25:18I scraped and clawed through every obstacle for years.
00:25:22Was it really all for nothing?
00:25:29If you don't have anywhere else to go, you come to me.
00:25:35You use this code.
00:25:36And you let yourself in.
00:25:38On your son, Miss Westbrook.
00:25:41I'd rather do anything than go to the professor I almost kissed.
00:25:44Then cursed out.
00:25:47I don't need you.
00:25:48But right now, he might be the only one who can help me.
00:25:59You're quiet tonight, professor.
00:26:06What's wrong, professor?
00:26:07I'm not your fucking professor.
00:26:09Whatever, Emric.
00:26:11Now, what's wrong with me?
00:26:13I can't appear to fuck out my feelings, but all I can think about is Ivory.
00:26:16My student.
00:26:19I've gotta make it stop.
00:26:23I don't even know what I'm doing here.
00:26:25Men have only let me down over and over.
00:26:28Why would Professor Marceau be different?
00:26:31And why do I so badly want him to be different?
00:26:42You're an idiot, Ivory.
00:26:44What?
00:26:45You came here thinking your professor could be the answer?
00:26:47That you're special to him?
00:26:49Well, you're not.
00:26:51Ivory.
00:26:54What did you just call me?
00:26:57Did my professor just call out my name while with another woman?
00:27:03Ivory.
00:27:09Emric.
00:27:10Don't tell me this is the girl you're fantasizing about.
00:27:15My mistake.
00:27:17She's barely even a woman.
00:27:18What, did you get lost trying to find mommy and daddy?
00:27:21Emric's no babysitter.
00:27:22I'm not a child.
00:27:24I'm here to see my professor.
00:27:26So you snuck into his house like it's some perverted fly on the wall?
00:27:30Get out now or else I'll tell your whole school about your little school girl fantasy.
00:27:36You're not kicking anyone out of my house.
00:27:39Miss Westbrook is my teaching assistant.
00:27:41And I asked her here to bring me some urgent documents.
00:27:44Emric.
00:27:45She's clearly-
00:27:47I'm not done.
00:27:48Before you start spreading rumors about my student, don't forget, I won't hesitate to destroy you.
00:27:58Now I'm done.
00:28:00Get the fuck out.
00:28:07I said I was done with her, Miss Westbrook.
00:28:10Not you.
00:28:15It's past midnight.
00:28:16Tell me what you're doing here.
00:28:18Are you serious?
00:28:19You're the one who told me to come.
00:28:23You come to me.
00:28:25So when a bunch of gangsters trashed my house and destroyed my piano,
00:28:30I once again stupidly thought that you'd protect me.
00:28:34Now I guess you'll give your code to any woman who might suck you.
00:28:37Guess what, sir?
00:28:38Not me.
00:28:40Afri.
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:46I do want to protect you.
00:28:48You can't-
00:28:49You can't say stuff like that.
00:28:51Turn around to fuck other women.
00:28:54After what I just saw, just tell me there's nothing here.
00:28:56And leave me alone.
00:28:58If you saw me,
00:29:00and if you heard me,
00:29:05then tell me.
00:29:09Did it sound like nothing to you, Miss Westbrook?
00:29:12No.
00:29:13It didn't.
00:29:14That's better.
00:29:16No.
00:29:17You just yelled at me in my own home.
00:29:23His touch.
00:29:25It's driving me crazy.
00:29:27I know that some teachers can tolerate disrespect, but I do not.
00:29:31Not without proper punishment.
00:29:33What are you gonna do to me, Professor?
00:29:37Oh, uh...
00:29:38The things I wanna do to you would give you nightmares, Miss Westbrook.
00:29:43Nightmares.
00:29:45Dreams.
00:29:45I am ready.
00:29:47Professor.
00:30:01Are you sure about this, Ivory?
00:30:04I can't have my feelings anymore.
00:30:07And I can tell you want me the way I want you.
00:30:09You're crossing this line.
00:30:11The scandal.
00:30:12It puts your whole future at risk.
00:30:15It's not just me at stake here.
00:30:17Yours is mine, and...
00:30:18Mine is yours.
00:30:21So...
00:30:22I think it's time for our next lesson.
00:30:25Then I better whip you into shape, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:37You've mastered the textbook to a T, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:45But music isn't just about strict and rigid technique.
00:30:54You have to learn to let yourself go.
00:30:58I'll go wherever you want, Professor.
00:31:02Good.
00:31:07First...
00:31:08You have to know yourself.
00:31:16What stimulates you?
00:31:21Excites you?
00:31:23What sparks your deepest desires?
00:31:30Hands on the keys they have, Miss Westbrook.
00:31:36You have to know yourself.
00:31:38You have to know yourself.
00:31:39You have to know yourself.
00:31:41My music and my body are reacting to every bit of his touch.
00:31:46I've succumbed to him, and yet...
00:31:49I feel free.
00:32:00I feel free.
00:32:01I want to know陳, Miss Westbrook.
00:32:04I think you need to find your release.
00:32:07I give it to me.
00:32:08I'm the only one who can.
00:32:10I don't know this, Chris, bro.
00:32:12We're not at school anymore,
00:32:14and I'm not starting to let you scream at me.
00:32:17Please, I need you.
00:32:20Professor.
00:32:22What's better?
00:32:26I want you to sit back on my dog.
00:32:46That was...
00:32:47That was incredible.
00:32:49I've never played like that before.
00:32:54That wasn't me, Miss Westbrook.
00:32:56That was you.
00:33:02All you.
00:33:20I have to take this.
00:33:22The guest room's upstairs.
00:33:23I can go on the right.
00:33:25You want me to stay here?
00:33:27Well, I'm not letting you go back to your junkie brother at this hour.
00:33:31If you have a need of piano to practice in the future,
00:33:33use this one.
00:33:35Do you do all this for me?
00:33:37You're my student, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:39You're my responsibility.
00:33:41I'm helping you.
00:33:43Help?
00:33:43He just pities me.
00:33:45He must have another woman.
00:33:47Why else would he be so eager to ditch me after what we just did?
00:33:50Stop daydreaming, Ivory.
00:33:52It doesn't matter how he makes you feel.
00:33:54You're just the student.
00:33:55A responsibility.
00:33:56Nothing more.
00:33:59You better have a hell of a good reason to call after midnight, Dean Riven.
00:34:02My son came home tonight with stitches in his forehead.
00:34:05He said it was because of you and Miss Westbrook.
00:34:11Tell me, Emmerich.
00:34:12Are you still giving that girl special attention?
00:34:17Oh, come on.
00:34:19Her talent is eons ahead of that group of circle jerks you call her classmates and you know it.
00:34:22Grow up, Emmerich.
00:34:24She's 19.
00:34:25And you're old enough to know that mere talent doesn't make the world go around.
00:34:29And what a greedy, manipulative witch does.
00:34:32Watch how you speak to me, Emmerich.
00:34:35I am your boss.
00:34:36And remember, I've still got dirt on you.
00:34:39The big audition is in two days.
00:34:41If I see Miss Westbrook there, I'll ruin her so bad.
00:34:44She won't even get a job playing lullabies to preschoolers.
00:34:48Understood?
00:34:51Glad we're on the same page.
00:35:10What the hell, Prescott?
00:35:11Just making sure you know what you owe me after your little fit.
00:35:14Extra large?
00:35:15The only thing that can fit in here is your ego.
00:35:20Better work on your pillow talk if you want your reward, Ivory.
00:35:23You know, in fact, I'm kind of in the mood for sharing today.
00:35:26I feel bad for keeping the school slatt all over myself.
00:35:28So today, you're going to strip for all of us.
00:35:30Right here, right now.
00:35:33Oh, God.
00:35:38I don't want your dirty money.
00:35:40Oh, look who finally grew a backbone.
00:35:42You think the professor can protect you, but one word for me,
00:35:44and you'll be in the streets just like him.
00:35:46This mess is between me and Prescott.
00:35:49I can't drag Professor Marceau into it.
00:36:01This one's a little hot.
00:36:02I don't know.
00:36:04We're not going to tip you until you give us a show worth paying for.
00:36:06Isn't that how it works with the professor of yours?
00:36:08I bet a suck-up like hers got a nice and cozy with Professor Perf's dick.
00:36:13Show us what we're all missing out on, teacher's pet.
00:36:15Looks like she needs some motivation, folks.
00:36:17Yeah.
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:19What?
00:36:21Tips for tips.
00:36:23I can't let him ring me.
00:36:25Professor, this ends with me.
00:36:27It's too easy to buy, Ivory.
00:36:28I can wipe my ass with a $50 veil of meat.
00:36:30Crap with your teeth.
00:36:35Now, be a good little bitch.
00:36:37And remember who's in charge here.
00:36:38Because if you piss me off, my mom will make sure you and Professor Perf never get a private lesson
00:36:42again.
00:36:56Grab the money with your teeth, teacher's pets.
00:37:14I can't lose Professor Marceau.
00:37:25What is going on here?
00:37:31Oh, look who it is, guys.
00:37:33Professor Perf is here to play hero again.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:42Get out of my sight.
00:37:44Or I'll finish the job and break your hand so you never let a finger on another woman again.
00:37:47The rest of you, get out.
00:37:50Unless you want to be expelled.
00:38:01Not you, Miss Westbrook.
00:38:06Don't move.
00:38:11Do you have a humiliation king or the memory of a goldfish?
00:38:14Why do you keep demeaning yourself for that piece of shit?
00:38:17I was trying to protect you.
00:38:20What is it?
00:38:21Your rent?
00:38:22Your dream?
00:38:23Well, how about I donate to the cost?
00:38:25How much is it?
00:38:27A hundred?
00:38:28Five hundred?
00:38:29You know what?
00:38:30Why don't you just take a whole goddamn thing?
00:38:32You think I'm that selfish?
00:38:34Prescott was threatening your job.
00:38:37I did it for you, you asshole.
00:38:39What?
00:38:40Let me go.
00:38:41No, not unless you promise to never let that fucker touch you again.
00:38:44Especially for my sake.
00:38:45Promise, I've heard.
00:38:47No.
00:38:49Are you jealous?
00:38:55Am I jealous?
00:38:57Are you serious?
00:39:00Of course I'm jealous.
00:39:03I should be the one protecting you.
00:39:05I shouldn't have to protect you from myself.
00:39:07I hate that.
00:39:08I hate that Prescott gets to touch you and kiss you in front of everyone.
00:39:12And all he gets is a slap on the wrist.
00:39:14But me, if I kiss you,
00:39:17my whole life's burned to the ground.
00:39:20And I'm dying to.
00:39:22I am really,
00:39:24really dying to.
00:39:32Earn it all now.
00:39:37Kiss me.
00:39:39Kiss me.
00:39:41Kiss me.
00:39:43Kiss me.
00:39:46Kiss me.
00:39:49Kiss me.
00:39:50Kiss me.
00:39:50Kiss me.
00:39:52Kiss me.
00:39:53No matter how hard I try to stay away,
00:39:57you keep pulling me back.
00:39:58You're magnetic,
00:40:00Miss Westbrook.
00:40:01I won't let go.
00:40:03I promise,
00:40:04I won't let anyone else touch me again.
00:40:07Good girl.
00:40:08And I promise,
00:40:09I won't try to give you money again.
00:40:11But you are not going back to that abusive house anymore.
00:40:16Then where do you suggest I go?
00:40:19You'll live with me.
00:40:22What?
00:40:24You want to live together?
00:40:25You already borrowed my piano.
00:40:27I'm sure you're going to practice well into the night.
00:40:29Is that all?
00:40:31I will also be able to keep an eye on your instruction.
00:40:35Make sure that you're doing it at all times.
00:40:37Or I'll discipline you if not.
00:40:40Well,
00:40:41since we're here,
00:40:43I think we should start our next lesson.
00:40:44I'm sorry.
00:40:46The last thing in the seat,
00:40:47Miss Westbrook.
00:41:02It's time for a demonstration,
00:41:03Miss Westbrook.
00:41:08It's time for a demonstration,
00:41:09Miss Westbrook.
00:41:11I'm going to play.
00:41:12And you're going to appeal me both to the music.
00:41:18I'm sitting in my professor's lap.
00:41:20And he's rock hard.
00:41:22And I want you to feel every inch of me.
00:41:26Somehow,
00:41:27this feels even more intimate
00:41:29than him touching me last night.
00:41:39Emrick?
00:41:40Are you in there?
00:41:52You were here late.
00:41:54Got caught up mentoring your favorite student?
00:41:56Who is Miss Westbrook these days?
00:41:59Working hard, I hope.
00:42:00Is that all?
00:42:02I have many students, Dean.
00:42:04I don't have time to keep diary entries of each one.
00:42:07Fine.
00:42:08Play coy.
00:42:09But remember who you work for, Emrick.
00:42:11You may feel like a star now,
00:42:13but I'll always be the one running the show.
00:42:22Coast is clear.
00:42:23You were so convincing.
00:42:26You will have to sclead you.
00:42:27Maybe his feelings for me
00:42:28is just not as strong as mine for him.
00:42:30Is that why he can lie so easily?
00:42:32Are you kidding?
00:42:33I was this close to cracking,
00:42:36to wrecking both of us.
00:42:39You have no idea the power you had
00:42:40over me, Miss Westbrook.
00:42:42I can see the secret home.
00:42:44And it looks like protecting our secret
00:42:46will cross and train.
00:42:50If you want to do this at school
00:42:52without getting caught,
00:42:53you're going to need to learn
00:42:54how to play pretend
00:42:54and keep a low profile.
00:42:56Because my instincts tell me
00:42:58that we will be able
00:43:00to keep our hands off of each other.
00:43:02And my instincts are always right.
00:43:07So I need you
00:43:08to not make a sound.
00:43:10No matter what I do,
00:43:12can you handle that?
00:43:26I don't know.
00:43:58Oh, they're closing down the school.
00:44:01You're not dismissed until I finish you off, Miss Westbrook.
00:44:13Someone's coming.
00:44:15Then prove to me you won't make a peep, no matter how much you want to scream.
00:44:19He's pleasuring me at school, Wold.
00:44:21But I can't resist it.
00:44:23I've never been touched this gently before.
00:44:25Especially not by my professor.
00:44:28Oh, my goodness, security.
00:44:30Don't worry about that, Miss Westbrook.
00:44:32You just take me.
00:44:34Oh, my goodness.
00:44:47Oh, my goodness.
00:44:49Oh, my goodness.
00:44:51Oh, my goodness.
00:44:52Oh, my goodness.
00:44:54Oh, my goodness.
00:44:54Oh, my goodness.
00:44:58Oh, my goodness.
00:45:27I can't believe how huge my professor's mansion is.
00:45:30My old place could have fit just inside this bathroom.
00:45:43Who knows how many times he's bathed in this tub.
00:46:14Who knows how many times he's bathed in this tub.
00:46:16Stand on this whisper.
00:46:18Now let's review what you brought.
00:46:23As you wish, professor.
00:46:52You can't give me a higher head in this whisper.
00:46:55Professor.
00:46:57Don't stop, Miss Westbrook.
00:47:02Show me exactly how much you want me.
00:47:12I can still feel the heat of his breath on my skin from only hours ago.
00:47:17But it's not enough.
00:47:28I knew he was good, but this is something else.
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:36Comfort level two, Miss Westbrook.
00:47:45Don't look away.
00:47:47You were thinking of me, weren't you?
00:47:53How did you know that?
00:47:54The way you're looking at me.
00:47:56You might as well tell the whole school you want your professor to tear your clothes off.
00:48:09No.
00:48:10No.
00:48:11I don't dance well.
00:48:12I'll teach you.
00:48:15That's what I do.
00:48:15No.
00:48:30No.
00:48:33No.
00:48:35No.
00:48:38No.
00:48:41No.
00:48:42I'm biting your lip.
00:48:50You control your body.
00:48:53When I look over your shoulder to look at sheet music.
00:48:56Or if I touch you to adjust your posture.
00:49:00It won't react any different than if I was any other teacher.
00:49:05That's impossible.
00:49:06My body's tuned to you.
00:49:08It doesn't matter how much I knew I shouldn't want you.
00:49:12So, I might as well be trapped in the desert in your water.
00:49:16That's the problem with thirst, Miss Westbrook.
00:49:20The longer you endure it, the more the cravings distract you.
00:49:23So that's level three.
00:49:26Stop wanting me.
00:49:31It's not happening.
00:49:33Well, Professor, would you care to down the street?
00:49:49Yes.
00:49:50In that dream of yours, Miss Westbrook, was I fucking you right on top of this piano?
00:49:55Yes.
00:49:55Good.
00:49:57You're finally learning to tell the truth.
00:50:00And obedience will be rewarded.
00:50:06No panties.
00:50:19At this rate, there won't be enough space in your student evaluation for my praises.
00:50:24Then I better start bringing some glassy roast.
00:50:27You're going to spar.
00:50:47I'm going to recommend you for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
00:50:50With the head instructor's recommendations.
00:50:52I hope it will be yours.
00:50:55Really?
00:50:56Oh my God.
00:51:00Wait.
00:51:02It's not because...
00:51:04Is he only saying this now because we had sex?
00:51:07It's not because...
00:51:09No.
00:51:10No other student has your talent or grit.
00:51:15No one deserves to play a poem more than you.
00:51:20I've known this since the first time I heard you play.
00:51:25For everything.
00:51:41What you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:51:45Whatever comes next, I'll protect her.
00:51:49Even if I have to raise all hell to do it.
00:51:56Today we'll be discussing different composers' approaches to fingering.
00:51:59Will there be a demonstration with the lecture, Professor?
00:52:03What?
00:52:06Think of Beethoven.
00:52:08His fingering was smooth.
00:52:09Legato.
00:52:10Full of pleasure.
00:52:17I'm looking at my professor in class, but all I can think of are his hands on my body.
00:52:23Mozart.
00:52:24I prefer the strong finger.
00:52:26Natural anatomy.
00:52:27We could penetrate, they don't burn.
00:52:31I say how much I want you, much I want you to.
00:52:38I just want you, cause you've got a natural tattoo.
00:52:46Natural anatomy.
00:52:56Bliss used a hand-spreading technique and Bach, of course, introduced the thumb.
00:53:10Bliss used a hand-spreading technique and Bach used a hand-spreading technique and Bach used a hand-spreading technique.
00:53:18What's distinctive of Chopin's technique?
00:53:21He disagreed with equal finger strength and he tailored his fingering to specific students.
00:53:29All the way to the stage he did is to make it easier to make it easier.
00:53:30Not you, Miss Westbrook.
00:53:38Looks like the pet pissed off his master.
00:53:47I've only got to ask you this once.
00:53:51What were you just doing in my classroom?
00:53:53Taking notes.
00:53:55You still insist on deception.
00:53:59What? You won't tell me? I'll find the truth for myself.
00:54:15This is when I can taste you on your fingers, Ms. Westbrook.
00:54:18Were you just touching yourself? Thinking of me.
00:54:24I was just putting your lecture into practice, Professor.
00:54:33Well, it appears your hands can't be trusted behind your back.
00:54:51This is what you wanted.
00:54:52I'm going to end class early because you turned me on so much and I just wanted you alone.
00:54:56What are you going to do now that you have me?
00:55:04I want you naked, sitting at my piano, rolling your hips like you're fucking the notes.
00:55:12Fucking the notes? Or fucking you?
00:55:17What's the difference?
00:55:29I want you, Ms. Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you.
00:55:34And don't stop yourself, Professor.
00:55:38Professor Marceau?
00:55:44Professor Marceau, you have a visitor.
00:55:47Be right there.
00:56:01We'll finish this later.
00:56:02My office, alone.
00:56:13He forgot his phone.
00:56:15I should bring it to him.
00:56:17I should bring it to him.
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24All those private lessons with Professor Marceau must be playing off because you two sure know how to put on
00:56:28a great show.
00:56:29How long have you been here?
00:56:31Oh, long enough to hear this.
00:56:36I want you, Ms. Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you.
00:56:41And don't stop yourself, Professor.
00:56:44Let's talk about what you're going to do for me before I send this video of you and Professor Hanzi
00:56:47to the whole school.
00:56:48You think anyone's going to open a text from you after all the dick pics you sent the girls on
00:56:52campus?
00:56:52That doesn't sound like begging Ivory.
00:56:55Do you remember how well you begged when you needed my money?
00:57:00Do the world a favor and keep your wallet and your dick in your pants.
00:57:04You watch yourself.
00:57:06I'll send this video to the whole goddamn school unless you give me what I want.
00:57:10Prescott's only ever wanted one thing from me.
00:57:12But if getting him off one last time will keep Professor Marceau safe, so be it.
00:57:17Let's just get this over with.
00:57:23It's too late for your pussy to get you out of this one.
00:57:25I want the Leopold Fellowship.
00:57:27What?
00:57:31So, you're going to tell that precious professor of yours that you're dropping out.
00:57:34And then you're both going to sign this form to officially forfeit your audition.
00:57:37He won't sign that.
00:57:39He already agreed to recommend me.
00:57:40Oh, I don't know about that, Ivory.
00:57:41Something's telling me that he'll probably change his mind.
00:57:44What are you talking about?
00:57:46You and the professor are quite close.
00:57:48I'll be asking myself.
00:57:51But if you step one fucking foot in the auditorium tonight,
00:57:53I'll take you both on with one little text message.
00:58:02If you don't have anywhere to go, you come to me.
00:58:05No matter how hard I try to stay away,
00:58:06you keep pulling me back.
00:58:08You're magnetic, Miss Westbrook.
00:58:10I'm going to recommend you for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
00:58:14With the head instructor's recommendation, this spot will be yours.
00:58:17If giving up Leopold means we can have a future together,
00:58:20I'm willing to lose everything, as long as I don't lose him.
00:58:24I need to go find him.
00:58:35What the hell are you doing here?
00:58:37Is that how you greet all your lovers?
00:58:44You sure went off the grid, didn't you?
00:58:46Did you really think you could start fresh at a new school and your past wouldn't catch up to you?
00:58:50We're past.
00:58:51We had sex once.
00:58:52Now it's because you got me drunk.
00:58:54Then you framed me for coercion and ruined my career.
00:58:58All because you were obsessed, because I never looked at you twice.
00:59:00Better watch your tone, Emmerich.
00:59:02I ruined your reputation once, and I can easily do it again.
00:59:08And I bet this school would be very interested in hearing my story.
00:59:16So that's how you got me fired.
00:59:18But we'll do the bus.
00:59:20A good girl is always prepared.
00:59:22Now, are you ready to follow directions, Professor?
00:59:25You are actually insane.
00:59:29You should be committed.
00:59:30I am committed, Emmerich.
00:59:32To you.
00:59:35So why don't you come over here and give me a kiss, hello?
00:59:40Or are you ready to abandon your darling students?
00:59:44I remember how all the girls used to watch your every move with their doe eyes.
00:59:49I wondered if I'd rest for a cure as any different.
00:59:55According to her file, you two have been spending quite a bit of quality time together.
01:00:03Ivory's audition is tonight.
01:00:04If I get fired, I can't help forget the fellowship.
01:00:07I have to keep my job until Ivory gets her dream.
01:00:10After tonight, I can scorch it all now.
01:00:18Please, Emmerich.
01:00:19My dead grandmother kisses better than that.
01:00:21Give me a real kiss.
01:00:24Or...
01:00:28Better yet, get me off and I'll let you off easy today.
01:00:32You're doing this for Ivory.
01:00:33Just this once.
01:00:34Get it over with.
01:00:49Why is the dean calling Professor Marcel?
01:00:52Clock's ticking on our deal, Emmerich.
01:00:54Unless you want your time at Le Moyne to end the same way it did at your last school,
01:00:59you better tell Miss Westbrook that you're recommending Prescott for the Leaphold Fellowship.
01:01:04Now.
01:01:06How?
01:01:15Professor?
01:01:17Professor?
01:01:24So this is the shiny new plaything in the flesh.
01:01:27I thought you'd be at least a little more mature.
01:01:30Who the hell is this?
01:01:31Do you let all your students talk to you like this?
01:01:33Or do you let it slide with special cases?
01:01:35Enough.
01:01:35Joanne.
01:01:36Get out.
01:01:37Or I'll have campus security escort you out.
01:01:39I tell you to watch your tone, but how can I stay mad at a face like this?
01:01:46Besides, why do I need a male escort when I have him?
01:01:49I'll let you and your new pet talk.
01:01:53Just something to remember me by.
01:01:56Don't worry, I have plenty more saved on my computer.
01:02:04Those photos were supposed to wrap Emmerich on my finger.
01:02:07That tiny skink is not taking him away.
01:02:13Nowhere to run now, bitch.
01:02:18This is the dirt Dean Robert has on you, isn't it?
01:02:21This is why you wanted me to give up on my dream.
01:02:26Professor?
01:02:27So, about Leopold.
01:02:28Miss Westrock, maybe the Fellowship isn't the best option for you.
01:02:31I think that you should stop being a coward and admit that you don't think I'm good enough.
01:02:36Not for you.
01:02:37And not for the Leopold Fellowship.
01:02:40Why do you keep denying me what I want?
01:02:43The reason you've been holding me back from Leopold, from my dream, is so you can save your own eyes.
01:02:51You forgot your phone, by the way.
01:02:55I agree, I can explain.
01:02:57No, no, I can't believe.
01:02:58I was ready to give up everything for you.
01:03:01For us.
01:03:09You know what the worst part is?
01:03:12I actually fell in love with you.
01:03:14But, no, I should have known you never really cared, professor.
01:03:18Why do you don't think that I care?
01:03:20I don't give two shits about what Dean Riverd wants or my career.
01:03:25You, you're the only one that I care about.
01:03:38No, no, you don't get to kiss and make up.
01:03:41Those lips have lied to me over and over and over.
01:03:44How can I believe anything you say now?
01:03:46I was trying to...
01:03:47No, and all you have done is hurt me.
01:03:50Look, you have no idea what these people here are capable of.
01:03:53What Prescott and Dean Riverd could do to you.
01:03:56Well, at least I knew not to trust any of them.
01:03:57But you, professor, you lured me in.
01:04:03And you caught me in your trap.
01:04:05And then you played me like a damn sonata.
01:04:07You were already drained my cards.
01:04:10And you shattered my heart.
01:04:12So I am not going to stay to see what you break next.
01:04:21I don't want to be here, but I have to get my dress for the audition.
01:04:25I won't let anything ruin my chances.
01:04:27Not Emmerich.
01:04:28Not anyone.
01:04:31I'm taking you home, baby sis.
01:04:33You're long overdue for a family reunion.
01:04:45Ivory.
01:04:50Why am I back home?
01:04:51If I miss my audition, I can say goodbye to any chance in the future of fulfilling my dream for
01:04:55dad.
01:04:58She...
01:04:59She let me go.
01:05:00You've been missing curfew, sis.
01:05:02What, you didn't think I'd notice?
01:05:04You jumping ship.
01:05:06Go play princess at Prince Charming's fucking castle!
01:05:11I'm coming, Ivory.
01:05:13Be brave for me.
01:05:18Let me ask you.
01:05:19Do you think he's really going to want you?
01:05:22You can't even play Twinkle.
01:05:24Twinkle little fucking star.
01:05:27Stop.
01:05:28Shane.
01:05:32That's not how we treat our merchandise, Shane.
01:05:34The van will be here in five, so sit tight.
01:05:38Well, it's not like you have a choice.
01:05:39What do you mean, merchandise?
01:05:41I tried to warn you.
01:05:43If you were going to pay the loan sharks back, I was going to cut a deal and save my
01:05:47ass.
01:05:48So now you're taking a one-way trip to Wyoming.
01:05:51Well, they have the perfect place for suts like you out there.
01:05:55You're signing me off?
01:05:57You've had so much practice whoring yourself around at school.
01:06:00I figured I'd let you go out there and do what you do best for the rest of your life.
01:06:08Don't tell me I'm too late.
01:06:11A whorehouse sounds like the perfect home for a little hussy.
01:06:14Like you don't even know me.
01:06:16I know that's the only reason why Emmerich isn't falling in line right now.
01:06:19Because he'd rather protect you than his own reputation.
01:06:21But once you're gone, he'll do whatever I want.
01:06:25Oh, but don't worry.
01:06:26He'll be able to keep his job and have a future.
01:06:29Like me.
01:06:31Like he'll do anything with you after you've ruined his life.
01:06:33So what if I got Emmerich drunk and framed him for sexual assault?
01:06:36I know how to tame my male.
01:06:40Benz, you.
01:06:42Time to say our goodbyes, sis.
01:06:46No.
01:06:47No.
01:06:48No.
01:06:49No.
01:06:50No.
01:06:50No.
01:06:53Please.
01:06:54You know, I say I miss you, but we both know you're more valuable to me as a cash cow
01:06:59than a sister.
01:07:00Oh, don't worry, Ivory.
01:07:02I'm sure plenty of men will want you in Wyoming.
01:07:13Let her go, but the next thing I slid is your throat.
01:07:26Let her go, but the next thing I slid is your throat.
01:07:30Looks like a broken wrist wasn't enough, huh?
01:07:32I'm going to break your face.
01:07:34Don't worry, the only drugs you get again will be through a fucking tube.
01:07:49Give me one good reason why I shouldn't let the cops take you right now.
01:07:52Because I still have pictures that can ruin you in seconds.
01:08:00I'm sorry.
01:08:01I can't risk my job.
01:08:04Until you get your drink.
01:08:07You see, she's the one who framed you and was selling me off.
01:08:10Run your mouth all you want, but you don't have any proof of what I've done.
01:08:14Or do I, Joanne?
01:08:16The loan sharks may have trashed the place, but they never found the camera that I used to record my
01:08:20piano sessions.
01:08:21The camera I record 24-7.
01:08:23So what if I got Emmerich drunk and framed him for sexual assault?
01:08:31Right on time.
01:08:36Right on time.
01:08:38What?
01:08:39Your photos mean nothing now that we have your confession.
01:08:42You should feel right at home in those, shouldn't you?
01:08:45You think this is over?
01:08:46You know what?
01:08:47It's a matter of time for the whole world finds out about your disgusting affair.
01:08:52You'll both be ruined!
01:08:54Let me go!
01:08:55No!
01:08:58You're supposed to be my brother.
01:09:00My only family.
01:09:01And all you have done is hurt me.
01:09:04And I'm done.
01:09:05Shane Westbrook, you're under arrest for domestic violence, possession of illegal drugs, and attempted kidnapping and trafficking.
01:09:12No!
01:09:13What?
01:09:13Come on!
01:09:14You're not going to let your big bro go to jail, are you?
01:09:16I wouldn't.
01:09:17But you're not my brother anymore.
01:09:19I know!
01:09:19As of today, we're strangers.
01:09:22Think about that when you rot in a cell, Shane.
01:09:25No!
01:09:26No, no, no!
01:09:27This is...
01:09:28No!
01:09:31I bet.
01:09:31No, I don't want to talk.
01:09:32Look at me.
01:09:34I owe you an explanation for everything.
01:09:37I owe you an explanation for everything.
01:09:39It's the least you deserve.
01:09:42After Joanne got me fired from my last school, no one would take me except Le Moyne.
01:09:46I didn't know until after we met that I was only hired because Dean Riverd wanted a favor from me.
01:09:53Yeah, I recommend Prescott for the fellowship, okay?
01:09:55You were trying to save yourself.
01:09:57At first, yes.
01:10:01When I met you, you were fearless and talented.
01:10:07God, you're so beautiful.
01:10:09You made me want to protect you, to fight for you.
01:10:13Dean Riverd knew that I came.
01:10:15She threatened to hurt you worse if I didn't, and...
01:10:21I was just trying to protect you.
01:10:22I'm so sorry, Abby.
01:10:24Listen, I...
01:10:24I couldn't care less without my career.
01:10:29I couldn't care less without my career.
01:10:32As long as you get yours.
01:10:35You're the only one I care about in this whole world.
01:10:37Everything else comes second.
01:10:39It always will.
01:10:41As long as you'll let me.
01:10:44I'm all in with it.
01:10:46Don't laugh.
01:10:46I'm not good now.
01:10:48I'm great.
01:10:49You were born to play.
01:10:53Don't let my mistakes get in the way of your future.
01:10:55Your dream.
01:11:00For everything, Professor.
01:11:02Professor?
01:11:03I guess after everything, that's all she'd rather see me as.
01:11:06I should respect that.
01:11:09Now, don't you have some place to be?
01:11:14Just do me.
01:11:15I won't be.
01:11:18Anything.
01:11:20That's me.
01:11:24That's me.
01:11:29Hey.
01:11:30Hey, hey, hey.
01:11:31Don't you have no addition to get to, Miss Westbrook?
01:11:35I look like I got hit by a truck.
01:11:36I don't have time to clean up.
01:11:38Max.
01:11:39Well, it's the judges who you play, and I give my recommendation.
01:11:42There'll be no doubt in your mind that you belong on that stage.
01:11:45We're still going to be late.
01:11:4720 years now, I haven't missed an audition.
01:11:49I ain't started now.
01:12:12Next up is Miss Ivory Westbrook.
01:12:20Miss Ivory Westbrook.
01:12:22Miss Ivory Westbrook.
01:12:23Don't worry, Mom.
01:12:24I'll take care of it.
01:12:25There's no way she's showing her face to me.
01:12:26And I made sure that professor of yours knows exactly who he works for.
01:12:30That spot is yours, and nobody's getting in your way.
01:12:33If Miss Westbrook doesn't have the decency to show up on time, maybe she should learn that
01:12:40being a musician requires a little respect.
01:12:42Yes, if Miss Westbrook is not present, we have no choice but to consider her disqualified.
01:12:51I'm here.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:53I'm ready.
01:12:56Ivory Westbrook from Le Moyne Conservatory.
01:12:58I'm ready to audition.
01:13:01Ivory Westbrook of Le Moyne Conservatory.
01:13:03Ivory, I'm ready to audition.
01:13:04Are you kidding?
01:13:05Look at the dirt on her face.
01:13:07She clearly has no respect for the fellowship.
01:13:09Miss Westbrook is my student, and she's been preparing for this for months.
01:13:14She will play.
01:13:22Proceed, Miss Westbrook.
01:13:34This is everything Dad wanted for me.
01:13:37I don't know I was there.
01:13:39What, Brady?
01:13:41You were born to play.
01:14:02I need a student who is 100% committed to my rules.
01:14:06Teach me, Professor.
01:14:11First rule, no lies.
01:14:15Second, do not question my methods.
01:14:20Third, never look away.
01:14:24Delicate, astonishing, and obsession.
01:14:28Master.
01:15:07Thank you, Ms. Westbrook.
01:15:08Now we've written the name of our preferred candidate in this envelope, but that's not the final decision.
01:15:14Per tradition, we seek recommendation from the instructor, Professor Marceau.
01:15:18Who do you recommend for the Leopold Fellowship?
01:15:21Ivory Westbrook or Prescott-Rabart?
01:15:24Don't worry, son.
01:15:25He'll still pick you.
01:15:27I've made sure of it.
01:15:29The student I'm choosing has demonstrated talent of the highest caliber.
01:15:32They've proven that they'll do whatever it takes to be the best.
01:15:34That is why the student that I'm choosing is...
01:15:38Remember our deal.
01:15:40Ivory Westbrook.
01:15:43What?
01:15:45He's screwing her!
01:15:48Emrick Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
01:15:55That's right.
01:15:56Emrick Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:00His student!
01:16:02Emrick Marceau is a predator.
01:16:04And Ivory Westbrook is a cheap whore sleeping her way to the top.
01:16:08A professor sleeping with his student?
01:16:10What a scandal.
01:16:11Professor Marceau, is this true?
01:16:13What exactly is the nature of your relationship with Ms. Westbrook?
01:16:17It's okay.
01:16:18I told you to be the only one I care about.
01:16:22It's true.
01:16:23I've crossed professional boundaries and fallen in love with Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:26No!
01:16:30But that is not a crime.
01:16:32We are two consenting adults who just happen to meet in the wrong time and the wrong place.
01:16:37And we've come to understand that our music is better together than anything that we could do alone.
01:16:44So you can fire me or blacklist me, but Ivory is innocent.
01:16:47And she deserves a fellowship more than anyone.
01:16:49He gave up his career for me.
01:16:54I don't care about the legalities of your relationship, but we can no longer accept your recommendation, given this obvious
01:17:00conflict of interest.
01:17:02Give it up, Ivory.
01:17:03Turns out you wasted your blowjobs on the wrong men.
01:17:06Is this really the end of the road?
01:17:07Did Professor Marceau really put everything on the line for me?
01:17:10Only for it to all crash and burn.
01:17:14Go on.
01:17:15Tell us which student at Le Moyne gets a fellowship.
01:17:17Not so fast.
01:17:18As long as we're airing out our dirty laundry.
01:17:20I have something I think the judges needs.
01:17:24If I'm going down, I'm burning the whole damn bridge with me.
01:17:34Your blackmailing Professor Marceau gave me the Leopold Fellowship.
01:17:37You know you deserve it way more than that Ivory girl.
01:17:39Besides, I know how to control Emmerich.
01:17:41As long as his job's at stake, he'll do whatever I say.
01:17:46They belong in jail.
01:17:48That's not us.
01:17:49You don't understand.
01:17:51I think everyone who saw understands perfectly.
01:17:55Professor Marceau and Ms. Westbrook may have told the line of unprofessionalism, but you two have committed a crime.
01:18:01Leave my skull.
01:18:04We've seen and heard enough today to make our decision.
01:18:07This year's Leopold Fellowship will go to Ivory Westbrook.
01:18:22Congratulations, Ms. Westbrook.
01:18:30I can't believe this.
01:18:32From the first moment I heard you play, I knew the Fellowship would be yours.
01:18:36This is preposterous.
01:18:38You little slut.
01:18:39This is all your fault.
01:18:40You've ruined everything.
01:18:42Now you're going to pay for it.
01:18:50You're all right?
01:18:54Let me go.
01:18:56Adding assault on a student to a long list of charges.
01:18:59I think your boss would be very interested to know of your recent actions.
01:19:03Both of yours.
01:19:04He's right.
01:19:07Leopold Davis.
01:19:08What are you doing here?
01:19:10I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
01:19:13I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
01:19:15And if you're lucky, the university will press charges for all the damages you've done to our reputation.
01:19:20This is all a misunderstanding.
01:19:22And I'm sure the police will be happy to hear all about it, which is why I've come to personally
01:19:27escort you and your son down to the station.
01:19:31Even you can't buy yourself out of this one, Prescott?
01:19:33Good luck trying to find a school that will hire you.
01:19:36Beat them away.
01:19:41Thank you so much for this opportunity.
01:19:43I promise I won't let you down.
01:19:46To be honest, we chose you before Professor Marceau made his recommendation.
01:19:50Based solely on your talent and merit.
01:19:53It's with full sincerity that I say you deserve the Leopold Fellowship, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:08If you ever doubt yourself, just look at that envelope.
01:20:11Or I can just let my professor tell me how good I am.
01:20:14Come with me, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:20What's wrong?
01:20:23I'm going to resign.
01:20:24What?
01:20:26I'm going to resign.
01:20:28No, I can't.
01:20:29If I stay by your side, people won't recognize you for your talent.
01:20:33All they'll see is our affair.
01:20:35You really care what anyone thinks?
01:20:36I don't care what they think.
01:20:37I care about you.
01:20:40And you being able to focus on your music without the noise.
01:20:42Look, I stayed as long as I did to make sure that you got the fellowship.
01:20:46Now my job is over.
01:20:47What?
01:20:47Hey, do not question my methods, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:52Listen to me.
01:20:53I've always known what I wanted and how to get it.
01:20:56Then you came along.
01:20:57Everything I thought that mattered.
01:20:59Music.
01:21:00Career.
01:21:01Success.
01:21:04It's all second to you.
01:21:06So please, Ms. Westbrook, allow me to take care of you one last time.
01:21:25Oh, thank you, Dean Simmons.
01:21:27It's an honor.
01:21:27I'll let you know if I decide to join you in the arts faculty.
01:21:30No, no, no.
01:21:31I just have a few other offers I'm going to take you.
01:21:50Hello, Professor Marceau.
01:21:52What are you doing here, Ivory?
01:21:54Are you questioning my methods, Professor?
01:21:57You're the one who hasn't changed the door code.
01:21:59Allow me to introduce myself.
01:22:01My name is Ivory Westbrook.
01:22:02I'm a piano major at Le Moyne Conservatory and a Leopold Fellow.
01:22:08I have a car and a new apartment in the nice neighborhood, all sponsored by the Fellowship.
01:22:13That's very impressive, Ms. Westbrook.
01:22:16The only thing that's missing is the perfect instructor.
01:22:23So, Professor Marceau, do you teach private lessons?
01:22:27I could be willing to make an exception.
01:22:31Well, the rats do.
01:22:33Are you sure about this, Ivory?
01:22:35Letting you go as a one-time offer won't happen again.
01:22:39Good.
01:22:41Because losing you is the worst punishment I've ever endured.
01:22:45I love you, Ivory.
01:22:48I love you, Ivory.
01:22:58You have a lot of work to catch up on, Ms. Westbrook.
01:23:00Oh, then we better get started, Professor.
01:23:03Then we better get started, Professor.
