00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through
00:00:09metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong
00:00:18almost there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call
00:00:23it terrifying

00:01:16transfer Alice Keaton right let's see there's a spot next to Charles seriously
00:01:27the charity case sitting next to Charles quiet Charles I've always had words for
00:01:38everything but in that moment I forgot them all
00:01:53Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what
00:02:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive
00:02:05influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due
00:02:10respect sir her previous school was American I highly doubt that that's
00:02:18enough she can sit here it's fine back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm
00:02:28Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's
00:02:33talking about their experience of the time
00:02:39wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it
00:02:45don't take it personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is
00:02:50getting into his pants what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're
00:03:00joking I don't find bullies attractive hey be careful we're talking about the king of
00:03:05Ashford 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 not the
00:03:17first 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
00:03:29really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making out honestly I
00:03:34just think he's lonely and kind of what
00:03:41you 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

00:06:01what is wrong with you funny I was about to ask you the same thing what are you doing in my house
00:06:10you wait your house my house my library and now apparently my unwanted guest
00:06:21ah master Charles you must be miss Alice Anne's daughter she said you'd be moving in today
00:06:27she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see I'm not actually moving in
00:06:34that so yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame you must seem quite pleased with the
00:06:41arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well for sure then absolutely not
00:06:47come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate
00:07:00I'm dead like mentally socially and actually dead
00:07:06just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails get it together Alice Keaton
00:07:19you've been I'm sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around actually no
00:07:25be the thing I need they all just let this is how baby you saved me good morning
00:07:32so is that miss Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late
00:07:53okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school
00:08:06okay if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:14what are you doing here didn't you already leave wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my
00:08:33textbook don't flatter yourself wait since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and
00:08:44give me a ride no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who
00:08:57forced me to live in his house unbelievable
00:09:14Ashford Institute please thank you
00:09:16who needs that entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why don't just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:26why don't just give miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's
00:09:38already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:09:44asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:00Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by
00:10:13Golding I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak wait wait
00:10:24you've actually read it quiet that's an interesting take explain
00:10:33he had the setup for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left
00:10:39the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival
00:10:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:54it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such
00:11:01strong literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:24I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:33it's not mercy it's irony how so
00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:44Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take Miss Keaton you still think it's a harsh critique in some ways but not
00:11:55harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize with them and the
00:12:03civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah I don't think Golding pushed
00:12:09far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:17thank you Miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic
00:12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:30good literature will always divide opinion what's happening to me
00:12:43okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:12:47well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:12:50a what now you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's teen in years
00:12:56we're not even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one
00:13:00got rejected begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about
00:13:07not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears you were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:13:24wow is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty honestly both
00:13:30but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:42okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:13:53hello hello is somebody out there oh come on
00:14:18hello is somebody out there oh come on
00:14:24fine
00:14:38seriously
00:14:39Oh, shit.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:03Shit.
00:15:14Ice! Alice!
00:15:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:21She hasn't come home. I'll have it sent over.
00:15:24Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:30Ice!
00:15:33Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. We're fine.
00:15:51We're fine.
00:15:52We're fine.
00:15:57Hey.
00:15:58Hey, Mr. Noncelone.
00:16:19Are you happy with how we are?
00:16:24What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:40You're welcome I
00:16:43Didn't say thank you. I figured saving your life might only basic manners someone just dumped swamp water on me
00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite. You smell like a biology experiment
00:16:54Wow
00:16:55You should try falling out of a window and if someone's arms are getting insulted for it wouldn't recommend it heavier than you look I
00:17:04Hope you pull your shoulder
00:17:11Are you okay? No, but I will be
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose. What do you think golden boy?
00:17:19Don't worry, I can handle it. You shouldn't have to
00:17:25I'm sorry
00:17:34Sorry
00:17:36Did you just apologize to me? Don't get used to it. I wouldn't dream of it
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:48Over here
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:54Why are you drenched?
00:17:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower. Tap exploded
00:18:03Come on, let's get you home
00:18:14Alice cheating, right?
00:18:16I heard you stage the whole thing for attention
00:18:20I
00:18:22heard you stage the whole thing for attention
00:18:24I know how this place works.
00:18:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:49I'll look into it.
00:18:52Charles, good on you.
00:18:56Not many here would speak up.
00:19:01I can't believe someone actually locked you in, that's insane!
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust flags.
00:19:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:22Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:41Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:19:43Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:45But sometimes, being here means staying behind, and watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:00Have fun!
00:20:02Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:07The trip cost twenty grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:15So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:22What 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.
00:20:47This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:49And this is not even your house.
00:20:51And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:54Just don't look, go away!
00:20:56Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:20:59What do you guys call it?
00:21:01Um, buzz kill? Cock block.
00:21:05You're insufferable.
00:21:06You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:08You know what? I don't get it.
00:21:10Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:20Where would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:25Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:31Or Titian, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:35Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:41Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:43Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:47The final stop, Harry.
00:21:50The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:53And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:21:59That's...word for word.
00:22:03I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:15Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:17Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:19Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:23Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:29One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:31That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens.
00:22:39And I prefer this one.
00:22:41Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:47You didn't have to come. Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:49After Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight. Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:07Oh, Jesus! What are you doing?
00:23:19Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:25What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:39I'm not selling my body.
00:23:45Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:23:47That thought disgusts me.
00:23:49Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:55Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:23:59No, I'm-I-I-
00:24:00Jesus.
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:07I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:10You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:15Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I present to you.
00:24:19Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:22You're welcome.
00:24:24Interesting combo.
00:24:25Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:29It's...
00:24:31Good.
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:39Although...
00:24:41I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:42Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:44It's American.
00:24:45And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:48You should read more.
00:24:51Put it down.
00:24:53I paid for it.
00:24:54You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:56To be fair.
00:24:58You make it very easy.
00:25:00It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:25:04You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would've given it to you.
00:25:06You wanna make sure that?
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:08Okay, Alice. It's fine.
00:25:09You're fine.
00:25:10You're fine.
00:25:12Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:25You're fine.
00:25:33911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:39911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss. Hurricane's constant. Traffic's shut down.
00:25:47We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:25:59Please stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:08Please, wake up.
00:26:09Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:16I don't know.
00:26:47You... what are you doing here?
00:26:53You were crying.
00:26:56Loudly.
00:26:58Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right.
00:27:01Sorry for the noise.
00:27:03Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:08If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:16Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:18Power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:21Dad had a stroke.
00:27:23But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:34Peaceful.
00:27:36Like he was asleep.
00:27:38But he wasn't.
00:27:43So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:46This used to be our hometown.
00:27:49After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:58What are you doing?
00:28:03Come on.
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:20Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:28:23It is.
00:28:24We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow.
00:28:27Rich people houses her.
00:28:28Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:32Allow what?
00:28:34You can call this place your house.
00:28:36So enjoy it.
00:28:37Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:39Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:41Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:43All yours.
00:28:44This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02And then...
00:29:05I have...
00:29:07One request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:13Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:19Wait.
00:29:21Give me a second.
00:29:22I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:30inside a literal mansion,
00:29:32you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:36It's just so cool, like...
00:29:38spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:40It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:44Wait.
00:29:45Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time,
00:29:50it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:30:02That's suicide.
00:30:03Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:05You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:07Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:08You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:10Golding disagrees.
00:30:12It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14Oh my... no.
00:30:15Why? What's that?
00:30:16You can't do that.
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18No, no. Oh my god.
00:30:19Can I not do that?
00:30:20You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:23Time to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:27All yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:31Oh yeah.
00:30:32Showing up at my door.
00:30:36Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe...
00:30:41he's not so awful after all.
00:30:43Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:58Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:00Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:05When did you get back?
00:31:06Last night.
00:31:07From Zurich.
00:31:08You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:10I missed you.
00:31:13Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:15Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:18Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:20They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:21I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:23They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:27You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:31Engagement.
00:31:33Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:36He's promised.
00:31:37Old money stuff, very retro.
00:31:39I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:42It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:47Serena.
00:31:48I can hear you, you know.
00:31:49Oh, an American.
00:31:52How refreshing.
00:31:57Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:09Serena.
00:32:10Where are you going?
00:32:11You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:12You only paid for dinner.
00:32:13I have homework.
00:32:14Goodbye.
00:32:15Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:16Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:17What?
00:32:18Teasing the help?
00:32:19That's her.
00:32:20That's her.
00:32:21That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:22Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:23Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:24What?
00:32:25What?
00:32:26What?
00:32:27What?
00:32:28That's her.
00:32:29That's her.
00:32:30That's her.
00:32:31That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:32Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:33Oh my God.
00:32:34What's wrong with people?
00:32:35What?
00:32:36What?
00:32:37What?
00:32:38What?
00:32:39What?
00:32:40What?
00:32:41What?
00:32:42What?
00:32:43What?
00:32:44What?
00:32:45What?
00:32:46What?
00:32:47What?
00:32:48What?
00:32:49What?
00:32:50What?
00:32:51What?
00:32:52What?
00:32:53What?
00:32:54What?
00:32:55What?
00:32:56What?
00:32:57What?
00:32:58What?
00:32:59Oh my God.
00:33:00What's wrong with people?
00:33:01They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:03Oh, and Serena.
00:33:04What about her?
00:33:05Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:23Careful, Alice.
00:33:24You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30Can we help you?
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32I know.
00:33:33It's 1066.
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:35Come to the music room.
00:33:36Urgent.
00:33:37I just remembered I need to check something.
00:33:38You guys go ahead.
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40Okay.
00:33:41Hello?
00:33:42Is someone there?
00:33:43Seriously?
00:33:44This is getting old.
00:33:45Wait.
00:33:46Music room?
00:33:47What?
00:33:48What?
00:33:49What?
00:33:50James?
00:33:51Hello? Is someone there? Seriously! This is getting old!
00:34:11Wait... Music room? What?
00:34:15James?
00:34:17Was anybody in here earlier? Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:22Sir? Sir, it's raining!
00:34:36Come on, Alice. You're fine. You're not that girl again.
00:34:47Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Rooks move in straight lines. Bishops move diagonally. And knights...
00:34:57The knights the weird one.
00:35:03Rooks. Straight lines. Bishops. Diagonally. Hello?
00:35:12No!
00:35:31The text...
00:35:33Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:35I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I... I didn't see the message.
00:35:42Serena took my phone. I... I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm... okay.
00:35:47You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:49You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:53Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:56Give me hope that feels like home.
00:36:19That wasn't a mistake. If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:22I... wasn't going to.
00:36:37You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:39What? Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:36:42Like...
00:37:04Dump those Ewok pajamas.
00:37:07Oh, you wish.
00:37:09Seriously. It's a cock block.
00:37:12You kissed me.
00:37:15That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:23Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:37:26You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:39The list is on the board.
00:37:43One, two, three, four...
00:37:47Are you okay?
00:37:48Fly me to outer space.
00:37:53That's where I'll see your face.
00:37:57And have you with me.
00:38:03It may seem dark.
00:38:07But you always...
00:38:09You're distracting.
00:38:11In my heart.
00:38:15You're welcome.
00:38:18You're welcome.
00:38:22They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly?
00:38:28Both.
00:38:29I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:38:37They all just let me down.
00:38:39But baby, you saved me.
00:38:42Until I'm brand new.
00:38:45Everything's so different now.
00:38:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:54Because it's weird.
00:38:56And I like weird.
00:39:05Check.
00:39:12You're cheating.
00:39:13I'm winning.
00:39:15There's a difference.
00:39:16You are very distracting.
00:39:18And you like it.
00:39:19I will be there for a young day.
00:39:22I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:39:28I'll hold you in my arms.
00:39:30Charles!
00:39:32We need to talk.
00:39:33I expected poor judgement.
00:39:34But this in my house?
00:39:35It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:36No.
00:39:37Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:39Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:41We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:43Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:46She isn't just...
00:39:48You have no right to barge in.
00:39:49On my property.
00:39:51I care about her.
00:39:53I'm not ashamed of her.
00:39:54That's enough!
00:39:56Why do you care?
00:39:57We're protecting our son's future.
00:39:59And our name.
00:40:01And our name.
00:40:03I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:04I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:05I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:06That's enough!
00:40:08Why do you care?
00:40:09We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:10And our name.
00:40:11You think this protects me?
00:40:12We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:16Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:18You're ready to give up everything.
00:40:19For a girl you barely know.
00:40:21Yes.
00:40:23Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:25You're ready to give up everything.
00:40:26For a girl you barely know.
00:40:29Yes.
00:40:31Then I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:32I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:33That's enough!
00:40:34Why do you care?
00:40:35We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:36And our name.
00:40:37You think this protects me?
00:40:39Then...
00:40:40Are you sure...
00:40:42She's ready?
00:40:48I'm asking you.
00:40:50Do you think she's ready?
00:40:51To lose everything.
00:40:52Regardless of how little that is.
00:40:54Just to be with you.
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice son.
00:40:59You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:04Pelton.
00:41:05It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:06Mr Kenwood.
00:41:07Ah.
00:41:08Mr Kenwood.
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:41:19Yes sir.
00:41:20Yes sir.
00:41:23So.
00:41:24Answer me again.
00:41:26Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:30Charles.
00:41:31What happened?
00:41:32Did your parents say something?
00:41:33Are they mad?
00:41:34Is everything okay?
00:41:35Pack your things.
00:41:36You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:37What?
00:41:38My parents fired your mother.
00:41:39She's leaving.
00:41:40So are you.
00:41:41Wait.
00:41:42What?
00:41:43Why?
00:41:44Is it because of us?
00:41:45We can fix this.
00:41:46I'll get a job.
00:41:47Anything.
00:41:48Stop.
00:41:49Stop it.
00:41:50You don't get it.
00:41:51If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:41:52Okay?
00:41:53No card.
00:41:54No trust.
00:41:55No support.
00:41:56Nothing.
00:41:57Then...
00:41:58Then...
00:41:59Then we'll figure it out.
00:42:00We don't need all that.
00:42:01We can...
00:42:02Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:03So that's what this was?
00:42:04Just...
00:42:05Fun.
00:42:06Fun.
00:42:07Fun.
00:42:08Fun.

00:42:54Fun.
00:42:55Fun.
00:42:56What did they threaten you with?
00:42:58This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:00What?
00:43:01You think you know me.
00:43:03Or what I have.
00:43:04You don't, Alice.
00:43:07You're still lying.
00:43:08I'm not, Alice.
00:43:09Look around you.
00:43:11This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:14It's my house.
00:43:16My world.
00:43:18I was bored into this.
00:43:19I am not choosing between this...
00:43:22and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:28Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:31You don't mean it.
00:43:32It was fun.
00:43:34But you?
00:43:36You don't compare to what I own.
00:43:39I'll survive the loss.
00:43:43Right.
00:43:46I should have known.
00:43:49Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:55You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:59Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:01They catch you
00:44:06Come to sleep
00:44:06You graduate.
00:44:09What?
00:44:10This fall is a little more, then I expected
00:44:14Go to sleep
00:44:18Go to sleep
00:44:23No, no, no, no
00:44:27agree
00:44:29But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:44:43Oops.
00:45:00Oh, sorry. Didn't see that.
00:45:03Then again, nobody does.
00:45:05Move, please.
00:45:08Try begging.
00:45:14You know what? Keep it.
00:45:21Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:45:25Dance.
00:45:26Excuse me?
00:45:27I warned you.
00:45:29Walk away, Serena.
00:45:51Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:45:54But one pair surprised me. In a good way.
00:45:58Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:01Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:03She loves the sound of her own voice. Better have it.
00:46:06Better have it.
00:46:07I couldn't stay.
00:46:08I couldn't wait.
00:46:09I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:46:20Like logic and chaos or silence and noise.
00:46:24Different worlds, different rules.
00:46:26At first glance, they clash.
00:46:30But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:34Confusion.
00:46:35Curiosity.
00:46:37But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:46:39And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:42And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:46:58Miss Keaton.
00:47:01Miss Keaton.
00:47:03Dramatic as always.
00:47:05Alright.
00:47:06Thank you, Alice.
00:47:07That was...
00:47:09Laid.
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder,
00:47:13that good literature
00:47:15always stirs something.
00:47:16Hello?
00:47:17Hi, Miss Alice Keaton.
00:47:18This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:19We've been following your work.
00:47:20We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:21Name your price.
00:47:22We'll make it work.
00:47:23Sorry, what?
00:47:24That's...
00:47:25kind of...
00:47:26insane.
00:47:27Who's behind this?
00:47:28Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:29Can...
00:47:30Can I meet them?
00:47:32I want to.
00:47:34Please.
00:47:35I want to.
00:47:36Please.
00:47:37I want to.
00:47:38I want to.
00:47:39I want to.
00:47:40I want to.
00:47:41I want to.
00:47:42I want to.
00:47:43I want to.
00:47:44I want to.
00:47:45Please.
00:47:46Or at least tell me a name.
00:47:52Sorry.
00:47:53They wish to stay in office.
00:47:54So they're only interested in words,
00:47:55not the person.
00:47:56I'd really like to meet them.
00:47:57I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:47:58The name was Barry Smith.
00:47:59I think the most generous offer
00:48:00we've ever given an interview right now.
00:48:03I see.
00:48:04Congratulations again.
00:48:10You got the interview!
00:48:11It's just an interview.
00:48:12I haven't gotten in yet.
00:48:13Still,
00:48:14Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:16That's iconic.
00:48:25You okay?
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:29I'm so excited!
00:48:30It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:48:43Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:48:47Good.
00:48:48It's a generous deal.
00:48:49You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:52No.
00:48:53No.
00:48:54It's better if I stay out of her life.
00:48:56I will be before you, babe.
00:49:01I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:49:06Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:16Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:21And the Browns already offered to host the London Reception.
00:49:25It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:31I've lost my appetite.
00:49:36I'll go check on him.
00:49:42What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:43Disengagement is not happening.
00:49:46It's not up to you.
00:49:47You know that.
00:49:48Serena, we're not doing this.
00:49:50You've changed.
00:49:53Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:49:57Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:27You've changed.
00:50:30Charles.
00:50:31You're the sponsor.
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:37So?
00:50:39You lied to everyone.
00:50:40Including her.
00:50:42I protected her.
00:50:45You loved her.
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:50Let it go, Serena.
00:50:53There's no point.
00:50:57I need a favour.
00:51:03Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:14Anything?
00:51:15No?
00:51:17She's not answering.
00:51:18The interview's almost over.
00:51:20Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:22Something's wrong.
00:51:24Where's Alice?
00:51:25When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:28Last night.
00:51:29She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:34James.
00:51:35Track someone for me.
00:51:38Wait.
00:51:39Where are you going?
00:51:47Chill.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:49We won't hurt you.
00:51:50Yeah.
00:51:51We're just supposed to keep your eye from the interview.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:02Shit!
00:52:03Come back!
00:52:23Hey.
