00:01:00okay morning class and you're not seated because I don't have a seat
00:01:14ah a new transfer Alice Keaton right let's see
00:01:19now there's a spot next to Charles Charles case sorry seriously a charity case sitting
00:01:29next to Charles God what is she quiet Charles
00:01:34I've always had words for everything but in that moment
00:01:41I forgot them all

00:02:03everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you she
00:02:08was top of her class at a previous school with all due respect sir her previous
00:02:13school was American I highly doubt that that's enough she can sit here it's fine
00:02:24back to Golding thank you you got it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very
00:02:31important that we look at what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:38wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down
00:02:44oh knew it don't take it past me he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting
00:02:51into his pants what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking
00:03:01I don't find bullies attractive hey be careful you're talking about the king of
00:03:06Asheville the what his family basically own the school and the town maybe even the
00:03:12country yeah everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're
00:03:18not the first to get nice okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual
00:03:23decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you
00:03:30really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making out honestly I just think
00:03:35he's lonely and kind of pathetic what no go on you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:03:51next time read the room before opening your mouth American we're not in Kansas anymore Alice

00:04:12seriously
00:04:21hmm apparently the young master won't mind the company
00:04:51it a house. It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:00Wait here, I'll talk to the butler.
00:05:07Wow, rich people. You've topped yourselves again.
00:05:14Stephen King. First edition!
00:05:21I'm breaking and entering now. How American of you.
00:05:51You can get up now.
00:05:55I'm trying.
00:05:57Wait! Are you serious?
00:06:01Well, you said you were trying.
00:06:03What is wrong with you?
00:06:06Funny. I was about to ask you the same thing. What are you doing in my house?
00:06:11You... wait. Your house?
00:06:15My house. My house. My library. And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:06:24Ah, Master Charles. You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter. She said you'd be moving in today.
00:06:29She what?
00:06:30There... there's been some kind of misunderstanding. You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:06:35Is that so?
00:06:36Yeah. I'm not staying here. Like, at all.
00:06:39That's a shame. Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:06:42Well, I just don't think it's appropriate. Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:06:50Come on, Alice.
00:06:52You must stay. It'll be fun, my dear classmate.
00:07:03I'm dead. Like, mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:07:14Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails. Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:07:21You've been through hell. I'm sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:07:25Actually, no. This is hell.
00:07:29But, baby, you saved me.
00:07:32Hi. Good morning.
00:07:41Wow.
00:07:48Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:51The whole thing doesn't know. That's what's been closed for months.
00:07:54She's going to be late.
00:08:01Okay. How long is this thing gonna take? Maybe I'll just walk?
00:08:05Five miles to school!
00:08:08Okay. If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:08:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:08:16What are you doing here? Didn't you already leave?
00:08:23What are you doing here? Didn't you already leave?
00:08:25Wait. Did you come back for me?
00:08:30Relax. I forgot my textbook. Don't flatter yourself.
00:08:32Wait. Since you're already here, maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:49No.
00:08:51Seriously? Your car is huge!
00:08:54Yeah. And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:08:58Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:02We'll sleep with all of mine. Now we won't.
00:09:05And these are needed.
00:09:06Unbelievable!
00:09:16Ashford Institute, please.
00:09:23Who needs an entitled brat anyway?
00:09:25Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:35Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:37And have the whole school go crazy.
00:09:39She's new. Everybody's already talking.
00:09:42So you're worried about her?
00:09:44You're overthinking. I just don't like drama.
00:09:48Why not?
00:09:53Asshole.
00:09:55Hey.
00:09:57Morning, Kloss.
00:09:59Back to Golding.
00:10:01Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:08Mr. Kenwood.
00:10:10Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:12Not particularly.
00:10:14Oh, I insist.
00:10:15You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:18I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:10:21On the contrary.
00:10:22I think his ending is...
00:10:25Weak.
00:10:27Wait, wait.
00:10:28You actually read it?
00:10:29Quiet.
00:10:31That's an interesting take.
00:10:33Explain.
00:10:36He had the setup for something brutal.
00:10:39Something honest.
00:10:40But in the end, he backed out.
00:10:42He could have left the boys on the island.
00:10:44Forced them to confront the collapse of all morality.
00:10:46Let them choose survival.
00:10:48Or death.
00:10:50But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:10:53Slaps a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:10:59It's a waste.
00:11:01Don't you think?
00:11:02I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:11:03Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:11:06I'm always a model student, sir.
00:11:08Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:11:12So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:11:15Anyone disagree?
00:11:16Anyone disagree?
00:11:33I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:11:36It's not mercy.
00:11:37It's irony.
00:11:38How so?
00:11:42The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:11:44You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:11:48Golding didn't save them.
00:11:49He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:52That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:11:55You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:57In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:12:01Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:12:07And the civilized world?
00:12:09Toxic, violent.
00:12:10He didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:12:12So, yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:20Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:12:22Well said.
00:12:24Anyone else?
00:12:27Both opinions are valid.
00:12:28Okay.
00:12:29That was kind of epic.
00:12:30And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:35Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:12:40What's happening to me?
00:12:57Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:01Well, you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:05A what now?
00:13:07You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years.
00:13:10We're not even fighting.
00:13:12Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:13:18And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:13:26You were there, Sherry. That is not what happened.
00:13:30Doesn't matter. People believe what they want to believe. And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:13:38Wow. Is massage any like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:42Honestly, both. But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:13:55Okay. Loaded.
00:13:58Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:14:13Hello? Hello? Is somebody out there?
00:14:23Oh, come on!
00:14:38Fine.
00:14:42Seriously?
00:14:56Oh, shit.
00:15:02What the hell?
00:15:04Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:07She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:13Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:23Shit.
00:15:29Alice! Alice!
00:15:31Mr. Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton. She hasn't come home.
00:15:37I'll have it sent over.
00:15:38I'll have it sent over.
00:15:40Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:45Alice!
00:15:46Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. You're fine.
00:15:51You're fine.
00:15:59Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. You're fine.
00:16:05You're fine.
00:16:06You're fine.
00:16:07You're fine.
00:16:15oh
00:16:30hey Mr nonchalant
00:16:35Are you happy with how we and
00:16:40What what are you doing here?
00:16:45Can you get off me first?
00:16:56You're welcome.
00:16:58I didn't say thank you.
00:17:00I figured saving your life might turn me basic manners.
00:17:02Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:05Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:07You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:09Wow!
00:17:11You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:15I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:19I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:27Are you okay?
00:17:28No.
00:17:29But I will be.
00:17:31Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:33What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:35Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:37You shouldn't have to.
00:17:41I'm...
00:17:42Sorry.
00:17:45Did you just...
00:17:57Apologize to me?
00:17:58Don't get used to it.
00:17:59I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:03Alice?
00:18:04Over here.
00:18:05Oh my god.
00:18:06You okay?
00:18:07Why are you drenched?
00:18:08Yeah.
00:18:09I just...
00:18:10Took a weird shower.
00:18:11Tap exploded.
00:18:12Come on.
00:18:13Let's get you home.
00:18:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:15I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:27Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:28Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:29Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:30I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:34I know how this place works.
00:18:35If you don't do anything about it...
00:18:36I know how this place works.
00:18:49If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:06I'll look into it.
00:19:09Charles.
00:19:10Good on you.
00:19:11Not many here would speak up.
00:19:18I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:19:20That's insane!
00:19:21Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:23Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:26Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:33Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:35Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:19:55Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:20:02Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:20:05Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:08But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:20:12And watching Asford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:19Have fun!
00:20:20Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:26The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:33So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:35Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:42Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:44It's comfortable.
00:20:45You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:46This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:47And this is not even your house.
00:20:48And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:49Just don't, look, go away.
00:20:50Hard not to.
00:20:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:52What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:59Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:01It's comfortable.
00:21:03You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:05This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:21:07And this is not even your house.
00:21:09And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:11Just don't, look, go away.
00:21:14Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:17What do you guys call it?
00:21:19Um, buzzkill, cock block.
00:21:23You're insufferable.
00:21:24You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:26You know what? I don't get it.
00:21:28Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:29I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:31Why do you think?
00:21:38Where would I go?
00:21:40I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:43Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo,
00:21:48Pevinci and Titian, or Titiana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:53Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal
00:21:56and getting lost in the most confusing city on Earth.
00:21:59Next stop, Napoli.
00:22:01Marvel at Pompeii.
00:22:02Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:05The final stop, Harry, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:11And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:18That's word for word.
00:22:20I told you. I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:22:24Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:28Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:33Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:35Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:37Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:41Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:44That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:47One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:49That's two words.
00:22:51You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:54You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens.
00:22:57And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:23:00Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:02Come back when normal clothes on.
00:23:03You didn't have to come.
00:23:04Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:15Master Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:18Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:21I've got it sorted.
00:23:36Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:38Relax.
00:23:41I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:42What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:49You'll survive.
00:23:50I'm not selling my body.
00:23:56I'm not selling my body.
00:24:02Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:24:06That thought disgusts me.
00:24:08Then what are you doing?
00:24:09The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:24:12Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:24:17No, I'm...
00:24:18Jesus.
00:24:19Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:24I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:28You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:30Are you sure about that?
00:24:34I present to you.
00:24:36Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:40You're welcome.
00:24:42Interesting combo.
00:24:43Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:46It's...
00:24:49Good.
00:24:56Was that a compliment?
00:24:57Although...
00:24:59I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:01Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:03It's American.
00:25:04And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:07You should read more.
00:25:09Put it down.
00:25:11I paid for it.
00:25:13You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:15To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:19It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:25:22You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:25I'll make sure of it.
00:25:27Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:43You're fine.
00:25:51911 looks for your emergency.
00:25:57911 looks for your emergency.
00:26:00It's my dad.
00:26:01He needs help.
00:26:02He just had a stroke.
00:26:03Okay, miss.
00:26:04Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:26:05We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:07Please, he's not well.
00:26:08I understand.
00:26:09Can you confirm your address?
00:26:13Dad.
00:26:14Yes, I'm right here.
00:26:15Alright.
00:26:17My daughter.
00:26:18Please, stay with me, Dad.
00:26:20Please.
00:26:25No.
00:26:26Please, wake up.
00:26:32Dad.
00:26:32Please.
00:26:33Please don't leave me.
00:26:48Okay.
00:26:50You, what are you doing here?
00:27:13You were crying, loudly, kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:19Right, sorry for the night.
00:27:23Wait, you gonna snarky come back?
00:27:26Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:28If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:32You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:36Hurricane hit New York, power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:41Dad had a stroke, but he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:47I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:53Peaceful, like he was asleep.
00:27:58But he wasn't.
00:28:02So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:05This used to be our hometown.
00:28:09After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:18What are you doing?
00:28:23Come on.
00:28:24Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:28:43It is.
00:28:44We have our own generator.
00:28:45Wow.
00:28:46Rich people houses her.
00:28:48Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:52Allow what?
00:28:54You can call this place your house.
00:28:56So enjoy it.
00:28:57Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:59Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:29:01Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:02All yours.
00:29:04This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:17Careful.
00:29:18Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:20Don't push it.
00:29:21Okay then.
00:29:23I have one request.
00:29:28What is it?
00:29:39Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:41Wait.
00:29:42Give me a second.
00:29:43I'm thinking.
00:29:44You had one wish.
00:29:46Anything in the world.
00:29:48And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:50inside a literal mansion,
00:29:52you chose chess.
00:29:54What?
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56Got a problem?
00:29:57It's just so cool.
00:29:58Like, spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:00It's literally a board game.
00:30:02Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:05Wait.
00:30:06Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:08For the tenth time,
00:30:09it moves in an L shape.
00:30:12One.
00:30:13Two.
00:30:14Then turn.
00:30:16There.
00:30:17Happy?
00:30:18Ecstatic.
00:30:22That's suicide.
00:30:23Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:30:25You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:27Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:28You literally haven't won the past arguments.
00:30:30Golding disagrees.
00:30:32It's going to be a long night.
00:30:34Oh my, no.
00:30:35Why?
00:30:36What's wrong with that?
00:30:37You can't do that.
00:30:38Can I do that?
00:30:39No, no.
00:30:40Oh my god.
00:30:41You had your shot but you went about it all wrong.
00:30:44Tied to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:47Or you're sour cause I'm moving on.
00:30:51Oh yeah.
00:30:52Showing up at my door.
00:30:56Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:00Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:03Um, who are you?
00:31:18What are you doing here?
00:31:19Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:21Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:24Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:26When did you get back?
00:31:27Last night, from Zurich.
00:31:29You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:33I missed you.
00:31:34Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:36Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:39Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:41They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:43I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:45They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:48You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:51Engagement?
00:31:53Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:56He's promised.
00:31:58Old money stuff.
00:31:59Very retro.
00:32:00I didn't agree to that.
00:32:01You didn't have to.
00:32:02It's never up to us.
00:32:06Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:08Serena?
00:32:09I didn't hear you, you know.
00:32:10Oh, an American.
00:32:12How refreshing.
00:32:18Goodbye.
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:26Where are you going?
00:32:38You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:39You only paid for dinner.
00:32:41I have homework.
00:32:43Goodbye.
00:32:47Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:49Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:51What?
00:32:52Teasing the help.
00:32:59That's her.
00:33:00That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:02Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:33:04Oh, my God.
00:33:05What's wrong with people?
00:33:06They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:07Oh, and Serena.
00:33:08What about her?
00:33:09Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:11Of course she did.
00:33:19You know, then?
00:33:20.
00:33:21No.
00:33:22No.
00:33:23No.
00:33:24No.
00:33:25No.
00:33:26No.
00:33:27No.
00:33:28No.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30No.
00:33:31No.
00:33:32No.
00:33:33No.
00:33:34No.
00:33:35No.
00:33:36No.
00:33:37No.
00:33:38No.
00:33:39No.
00:33:40Careful, Alice. You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00Can we help you about my answer?
00:34:01I know. It's 1066.
00:34:03Come to the music room. Urgent.
00:34:06I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:08You guys go ahead.
00:34:09Yeah, okay.
00:34:16Hello! Is someone there?
00:34:18Seriously! This is getting old!
00:34:32Wait. Music room? What?
00:34:37James?
00:34:38Is anybody in here earlier?
00:34:40Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:44Sir?
00:34:46Sir, it's raining!
00:34:47Come on, Alice, you're fine. You're not that girl again.
00:34:59Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:11Okay. Rooks move in straight lines. Bishops move diagonally. And knights...
00:35:13The knights...
00:35:15The knights... The knights...
00:35:17The knights... The knights are weird.
00:35:19Rooks...
00:35:21Straight lines. Bishops...
00:35:23And diagonally...
00:35:25Rooks, straight lines, bishops, diagonally.
00:35:33Hello?
00:35:34Hello?
00:35:54The text...
00:35:56Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:58I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:02I didn't see the message. Serena took my phone. I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:36:07I'm... okay.
00:36:10You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:11You're freezing.
00:36:12You didn't have to come.
00:36:15Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:32That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:45I... wasn't going to.
00:36:47You're really bad at this, you know.
00:37:02What? Kissing?
00:37:03Hiding feelings.
00:37:04I don't know.
00:37:05I don't know.
00:37:06I feel you wanna vest, and I'm over hope.
00:37:09This is the beginning, I'm flying in the eye.
00:37:13I don't know.
00:37:14Tell me what you said, and tell me where you wanna go.
00:37:17To keep me happy.
00:37:19Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:29Oh, you wish.
00:37:32Seriously. It's a cock block.
00:37:35You kissed me. That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:42Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:37:59You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:02The list is on the board.
00:38:04One, two, three, four.
00:38:11Are you okay?
00:38:32You're distracting.
00:38:34You're welcome.
00:38:45They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:49Honestly?
00:38:50Right?
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:05And you just pretend to be a girl.
00:39:06You know what I mean?
00:39:07Yeah.
00:39:11So...
00:39:12The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:15Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:17Because it's weird,
00:39:19and I like weird.
00:39:21I'm tired.
00:39:29Check.
00:39:35You're cheating.
00:39:37I'm winning. There's a difference.
00:39:39You are very distracting.
00:39:41And you like it.
00:39:52Charles.
00:39:54We need to talk.
00:40:03I expected poor judgement.
00:40:05But this in my house?
00:40:07It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:09No.
00:40:10Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:13Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:15We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:18Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:40:22She isn't just...
00:40:24You have no right to barge in.
00:40:26On my property.
00:40:30I care about her.
00:40:32I'm not ashamed of that.
00:40:33That's enough.
00:40:37Why do you care?
00:40:38We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:40And our name.
00:40:42You think this protects me?
00:40:44We think...
00:40:45She does not belong in your world.
00:40:50Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:54You're ready to give up everything?
00:40:56For a girl you barely know?
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:02Then...
00:41:03Are you sure...
00:41:05She's ready?
00:41:06I'm asking you.
00:41:07Do you think she's ready?
00:41:08To lose everything...
00:41:09Regardless of how little that is.
00:41:10Just to be with you.
00:41:11What are you talking about?
00:41:12You left us no choice, son.
00:41:13You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:14Pelton.
00:41:15It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:16Ah.
00:41:17Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:18How can I help?
00:41:19If a scholarship student...
00:41:21Were to violate...
00:41:22our behavioral code...
00:41:23In a public setting...
00:41:24With photographic evidence...
00:41:25Would that warrant a review?
00:41:26Yes, sir.
00:41:29So...
00:41:35Answer me again.
00:41:37Do you think she's ready...
00:41:38To lose everything...
00:41:39To lose everything...
00:41:40The way she's ready.
00:41:41Is she right?
00:41:43No, sir.
00:41:45It's no choice, son.
00:41:46You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:47Pelton.
00:41:48It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:49Ah.
00:41:50Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:51He's ready to lose everything just to be with you.
00:42:05Charles, what happened? Did your parents say something? Are they mad? Is everything okay?
00:42:10Pack your things. You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:15What?
00:42:17My parents fired your mother. She's leaving. So are you.
00:42:21Wait, why? Is it because of us? We can fix this. I'll get a job.
00:42:25Stop it. You don't get it. If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:31Okay? No card. No trust. No support. Nothing.
00:42:37Then we'll figure it out. We don't need all that.
00:42:41Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:45So that's what this was. Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:53What did they promise you?
00:42:55Nothing.
00:42:59They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:07Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:09You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:13What did they threaten you with?
00:43:21What did they threaten you with?
00:43:23This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:25What?
00:43:26You know me. Or what I have. You don't, Alice.
00:43:30You're still lying.
00:43:32I'm not, Alice.
00:43:34Look around you. This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:38It's my house.
00:43:40My world.
00:43:42I was bored into this.
00:43:44I am not choosing between this
00:43:48and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:54Don't do this, Charles. You don't mean it.
00:43:56Look, it was fun.
00:43:58But you?
00:44:00You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:02I'll survive the loss.
00:44:06Right.
00:44:10I should have known.
00:44:12Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:18You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:44:22Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:24This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:44:40In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:44:46Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:44:52But I find this the place to test myself.
00:45:06Oops.
00:45:08Oh, sorry.
00:45:24Didn't see you there.
00:45:26Then again, nobody does.
00:45:28Move, please.
00:45:30Hmm.
00:45:32Try begging.
00:45:38You know what? Keep it.
00:45:44Poor thing.
00:45:46So dramatic.
00:45:48Don't.
00:45:50Excuse me.
00:45:52I warned you.
00:45:54I'm not going to play, Serena.
00:45:56Come on.
00:45:58Come on.
00:46:00Come on.
00:46:02Come on.
00:46:04Come on.
00:46:06Come on.
00:46:08Come on.
00:46:10Come on.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:15Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:18But one pair surprised me.
00:46:20In a good way.
00:46:22Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:24Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:27She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:46:29Better have it.
00:46:38Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:46:43Like logic and chaos.
00:46:45Or silence and noise.
00:46:47Different worlds.
00:46:49Different rules.
00:46:50At first glance, they clash.
00:46:54But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:58Confusion.
00:46:59Curiosity.
00:47:00But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:03And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:13Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:15Miss Keaton.
00:47:16Dramatic as always.
00:47:17Alright.
00:47:18Thank you, Alice.
00:47:19That was...
00:47:20Laid.
00:47:21Are you okay?
00:47:22A reminder.
00:47:23That good literature always stirs something.
00:47:27Hello?
00:47:28Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:47:29This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:30We've been following your work.
00:47:31We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:32Name your price.
00:47:33We'll make it work.
00:47:34Sorry, what?
00:47:35That's...
00:47:36Kind of insane.
00:47:37Who's behind this?
00:47:38Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:39Can...
00:47:40...
00:47:41I can...
00:47:42I can...
00:47:43I can.
00:47:44I can.
00:47:45No.
00:47:46I can.
00:47:47I can.
00:47:48I can.
00:47:49I can.
00:47:50I can.
00:47:51No.
00:47:52No.
00:47:53No.
00:47:54No.
00:47:55No.
00:47:56No.
00:47:57No.
00:47:58No.
00:47:59No.
00:48:00No.
00:48:01No.
00:48:02No.
00:48:03No.
00:48:04No.
00:48:05Can... Can I meet them?
00:48:09I want to. Please.
00:48:11Or at least tell me a name.
00:48:17Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:48:19So their only interest in words, not the person.
00:48:21I'd really like to meet them.
00:48:22I'm sorry, Miss Keaton. They were very good.
00:48:25I think the most generous one we've ever given a disability or something.
00:48:28I see.
00:48:29Congratulations again.
00:48:35Have you got the interview?
00:48:36It's just an interview. I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:38Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:41That's iconic.
00:48:50Are you okay?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:54I'm so excited!
00:49:05It's done, Mr. Kenwood. Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:12Good.
00:49:13It's a generous deal. You sure you don't want it to know?
00:49:17No.
00:49:19No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:49:21Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:34Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:41Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:45And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:51It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:57I've lost my appetite.
00:50:01I'll go check on him.
00:50:08What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:09Disengagement is not happening.
00:50:16It's not up to you. You know that.
00:50:17Serena, we're not doing this.
00:50:21You've changed.
00:50:25Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:39You're the sponsor.
00:50:58You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:03So?
00:51:04You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:07I protected her.
00:51:11You loved her.
00:51:13Still do.
00:51:15Let it go, Serena.
00:51:18There's no point.
00:51:28I need a favour.
00:51:30Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:33And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:37Anything with Lyra?
00:51:43She's not answering.
00:51:45The interview's almost over.
00:51:46Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:48Something's wrong.
00:51:50Where's Alice?
00:51:52When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:54Last night.
00:51:55She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:01James, track someone for me.
00:52:04Wait, where are you going?
00:52:06Chill, okay?
00:52:13Chill, okay?
00:52:15It won't hurt you.
00:52:16Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:52:19That's it.
00:52:28Shit!
00:52:28Come back!
00:52:291.ier
00:52:382.ier
00:52:412.ier
00:52:462.ier
00:52:472.ier
00:52:503.ier
00:52:50I remember how I met
00:52:59Didn't need a second guess
00:53:03Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:09Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:53:13Alice
00:53:13You're awake
00:53:20Where, where am I?
00:53:23A local clinic
00:53:24Passer-by brought you in
00:53:26Passer-by
00:53:28He found you on the side of the road
00:53:30He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:32Oh
00:53:35The interview, what time is it?
00:53:39Easy, it's okay
00:53:40Someone already contacted the university
00:53:42And sent in your writing samples
00:53:45They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:46Wait, what, who?
00:53:48No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:50What did you say?
00:53:55Nothing
00:53:56I just
00:53:57Had a dream
00:54:00I got him!
00:54:12Oh, I knew it
00:54:17Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:54:20He's not here
00:54:22Oh, you didn't know
00:54:24Know what?
00:54:26He left
00:54:27A few days ago, yeah
00:54:29Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:31Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:54:33It's probably for the best
00:54:35Come on
00:54:35I couldn't stay
00:54:37I couldn't wait
00:54:39I thought that you should know
00:54:41Alice
00:54:42The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:48Chaotic
00:54:50Unexpected
00:54:52And with his absence
00:54:55Come on
00:54:56It ended quietly
00:54:59Like summers always do
00:55:03And joining us today
00:55:18The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:55:22Alice Keaton
00:55:22Thank you for having me
00:55:24Now, your words moved millions
00:55:26They say your stories feel real
00:55:29Especially the ones about love
00:55:31Thank you
00:55:32Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:35How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:37No comment
00:55:38A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working
00:55:43Not even a single date
00:55:45Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:46Oh, she caught me
00:55:47Still no comment
00:55:49All right, all right
00:55:50No matter what you say
00:55:51You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:55If you're so real
00:55:57Because once I did
00:55:58With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:01And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:05And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:56:09Congratulations, Alice
00:56:20The numbers just came in
00:56:22You broke your own record
00:56:23That's incredible
00:56:27We're thinking celebration
00:56:28Press
00:56:29Photos
00:56:30Maybe tonight
00:56:30Actually
00:56:31There's something I'd rather do
00:56:33I'd like to meet with the person who
00:56:37Believed in me first
00:56:38My sponsor
00:56:40You're sure?
00:56:42Yeah
00:56:42Just once
00:56:44Tonight
00:56:457pm
00:56:46Good evening
00:56:57Good evening
00:57:03May I sit?
00:57:10Hey, Mr. Noncelone
00:57:13Hi
00:57:16Hi
00:57:18You look well
00:57:21And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:57:26You always did
00:57:28You were expecting someone else
00:57:31I was
00:57:33I was
00:57:33Hoping
00:57:35But I guess I always knew
00:57:37I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:40Or to reopen anything
00:57:42I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:46Oh
00:57:48Thank you
00:57:49Didn't know you're still reading
00:57:53You're rich enough not to do so
00:57:56Always
00:57:58Either way
00:57:59Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:02So
00:58:03No
00:58:03No
00:58:04You earned everything
00:58:05Every word
00:58:09Every page
00:58:11Every reader
00:58:14That's what I came to say
00:58:16It was good to see you again
00:58:21I hope
00:58:22Charles
00:58:23Can you just
00:58:25Wait a little longer
00:58:28I think I knew it was you
00:58:37There was one email
00:58:40You said something
00:58:43It felt familiar
00:58:44Really?
00:58:45Kind of had that
00:58:46Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:48Very on brand
00:58:50I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:53Too late
00:58:53Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:55Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation
00:58:59Still the only god I know who uses why else unironically
00:59:02You've changed
00:59:06But
00:59:08Not really
00:59:10You haven't changed
00:59:13But
00:59:14Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:59:17Anyway
00:59:19I wanted to say
00:59:21Thank you
00:59:23And
00:59:25Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:27You didn't have to come
00:59:29Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:32You didn't have to come
00:59:36Don't tell me
00:59:38What I have to do
00:59:40If you could go back
01:00:01If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:03Would you do anything differently?
01:00:10No
01:00:10No
01:00:12No
01:00:16I see
01:00:21I know my answer now
01:00:26I didn't have the power back then
01:00:28Not enough to protect you
01:00:30I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:32Because of my name
01:00:35My family
01:00:36I didn't want to be the reason you lost me
01:00:40I lost everything
01:00:40So you just disappeared
01:00:42Without a word
01:00:44If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:49Without me weighing you down
01:00:50If you still chose me after that
01:00:53You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:59But you made a choice for me
01:01:02Did it ever cross your mind
01:01:06That maybe
01:01:07I would have chosen you anyway
01:01:11I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:01:19You weren't
01:01:21But I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:25This is me
01:01:34Right
01:01:35I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:44I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:49Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:01You're asking your ex
01:02:02Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:05To come into your hotel
01:02:07At approximately 11pm
01:02:09You were right
01:02:11You never were that smart
01:02:13You don't have to come
01:02:15Don't tell me what I have to do
01:02:18Stop quoting yourself
01:02:34I recycle
01:02:35It saves energy
01:02:36This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:40You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:41You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:43I said that
01:02:45Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:47Still is
01:02:49You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:51That is cute to me
01:02:56Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:58I wasn't going to
01:02:59I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:02Then shut up
01:03:03And prove it
01:03:11I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:13I told you
01:03:14They're either worst enemies
01:03:16Or secretly married
01:03:17And I told you
01:03:17They're both
01:03:18It's more than a night to night
01:03:25The night to night
01:03:26The night to night
01:03:28The night to night
01:03:29The night to night
01:03:30It's enough to let folks
01:03:34Let it be
01:03:35I vow to always tell you the truth
01:03:47Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:03:50Then I lie
01:03:52Respectfully
01:03:53I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:57Loudly
01:03:58Quietly
01:04:00Always
01:04:02Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:05Is he actually good at this
01:04:09I mean
01:04:09He did beat her at sarcasm
01:04:11I vow to argue with you
01:04:16At least twice a week
01:04:17Especially over Shakespeare
01:04:18I vow to write you
01:04:21In your every story
01:04:22Even when I say I didn't
01:04:24You will always be part of my life
01:04:26If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:04:29I'm out
01:04:30No you're not
01:04:31You're going to cry harder
01:04:32For the rest of the life
01:04:36For the rest of the life
01:04:40I can't believe you picked Paris
01:04:57Such a cliché honeymoon destination
01:05:00Guard your phone
01:05:02Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine
01:05:06You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:05:11Please, Alice, go change
01:05:15Don't tell me what I have to do
01:05:17No
01:05:21No, no, no, no
01:05:23That is not an invitation to...
01:05:25Do not take off these clothes
01:05:26Overruled
01:05:27You look much better without them
01:05:30To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters
01:05:39You will find your way home
01:05:43Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:05:48But I don't want to die alone
01:05:51God
01:05:51God
01:05:52God
01:05:53God
01:05:54It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:06:10Help us develop, learn and grow
