00:00I've always described the world in words, people, moments, places, all through metaphors and margins.
00:11You okay?
00:12Like my mom, self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:17Almost there. You excited for your first day?
00:19She calls this a fresh start. I call it terrifying.
00:30You've got this. Just for yourself. That's kind of the problem.
00:53I'm stuck in space. Got a daydream run into my brain every day.
01:00I want to stick it down.
01:02Okay.
01:04Morning, class.
01:07And you're not seated because?
01:10I don't have a seat.
01:13Ah, a new transfer. Alice Keaton, right? Let's see.
01:20Ah, there's a spot. Next to Charles.
01:23Oh, it's a Charles case, sorry.
01:25Seriously? A charity case sitting next to Charles?
01:28God, why is she?
01:30Quiet.
01:32Charles.
01:35I've always had words for everything.
01:38But in that moment,
01:40I forgot them all.
01:43Charles, move your things.
01:56I'd rather not.
01:58She'll be a distraction.
01:59From what?
02:00Sleeping.
02:02From everything.
02:03If anything, Charles,
02:04Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
02:06She was top of her class at her previous school.
02:08With all due respect, sir,
02:12her previous school was American.
02:15I highly doubt that.
02:18That's enough.
02:20She can sit here. It's fine.
02:24Back to Goldie.
02:27You got it.
02:27I'm Sherry Vaughn.
02:29Alice Keaton.
02:29It's very important that we look at
02:31what he's talking about
02:34their experience of the time.
02:39Wait.
02:40You sat next to Charles?
02:42She didn't.
02:42You totally shut her down.
02:44Oh, knew it.
02:45Don't take it past me.
02:46He's impossible.
02:48Can everyone stop acting like
02:49the goal is getting into his pants?
02:51What?
02:51He's hot.
02:53Everyone kind of is.
02:54I...
02:56I've seen...
02:57Hotter.
02:58He's not my type.
02:59You're joking.
03:00I don't find bullies attractive.
03:02Hey, be careful.
03:03You're talking about
03:04the king of Ashford.
03:06The what?
03:07His family basically
03:08owned the school.
03:10And the town.
03:11Maybe even the country.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Everyone's tried to get close.
03:14No one can get past his ego.
03:16You're not the first to get iced.
03:18Okay, first of all,
03:19I wasn't iced.
03:20It's more like
03:21a mutual decision.
03:23And second,
03:24I think he's arrogant,
03:26cold,
03:26thinks he's untouchable.
03:28But if you really look at Charles,
03:30he just seems isolated,
03:32like he's faking out.
03:33Honestly,
03:34I just think he's lonely
03:35and kind of pathetic.
03:40What?
03:41No, go on.
03:48You were saying
03:49I'm lonely
03:49and pathetic.
03:54Next time,
03:56read the room
03:59before opening your mouth,
04:01American.
04:04We're not in Kansas anymore,
04:06Alice.
04:06Hey, how was your first day?
04:24Uh, good.
04:26Have you been excited, Cap'n?
04:27Not really.
04:28Super uneventful.
04:30Really?
04:31How's your new job?
04:32Yeah,
04:33all right.
04:34Get this?
04:35He said we can stay
04:35in the service wing.
04:37Seriously?
04:37Hmm.
04:38Apparently,
04:39the young master
04:39won't mind the company.
04:41The young master.
04:44This is your boss's house.
04:47Yeah?
04:48Isn't that incredible?
04:49I mean,
04:49I wouldn't call it a house.
04:51It's
04:51a museum
04:53with better landscaping.
04:55Wait here.
05:00I'll talk to the butler.
05:07Wow.
05:07Rich people.
05:09You've talked
05:10yourself again.
05:14Stephen King.
05:16First edition.
05:17Oh, my God.
05:17Oh, my God.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:19Oh, my God.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:21Oh, my God.
05:22Oh, my God.
05:23Oh, my God.
05:24Oh, my God.
05:25Oh, my God.
05:26Breaking and entering now.
05:29How American of you.
05:31I...
05:31You can get up now.
05:54I...
05:54I'm trying.
05:55Wait.
05:57Are you serious?
06:00Well, you said you were trying.
06:03What is wrong with you?
06:05Funny.
06:06I was about to ask you
06:07the same thing.
06:08What are you doing
06:09in my house?
06:11Hey.
06:12Wait.
06:14Your house?
06:15My house.
06:16My library.
06:17And now,
06:18apparently,
06:19my unwanted guest.
06:21Oh,
06:23Mr. Charles.
06:23Oh,
06:24Mr. Charles.
06:24It must be Miss Alice,
06:25Anne's daughter.
06:26She said you'd be moving in today.
06:27She what?
06:29There...
06:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
06:31You see,
06:32I'm not actually moving in.
06:34Is that so?
06:35Yeah.
06:36I'm not staying here.
06:38Like, at all.
06:38That's a shame.
06:40You must seem quite pleased with the arrangement.
06:41Well,
06:42I just don't think it's appropriate.
06:45Well,
06:45for sure,
06:46then absolutely not.
06:49Come on,
06:50Alice.
06:50You must stay.
06:55It'll be fun.
06:57My dear classmate.
07:01I'm dead.
07:02Like mentally,
07:04socially,
07:05and actually dead.
07:12Just trying to figure out
07:14how exactly my life went off the rails.
07:17Get it together,
07:18Alice Keaton.
07:19You've been through the hell.
07:20I was sure I'd never find someone
07:22to make my head spin around.
07:24Actually,
07:25no.
07:26This is hell.
07:30Bye.
07:31Good morning.
07:39Wow.
07:46So,
07:47is that Miss Keaton?
07:49What thing doesn't know?
07:50That's what's been closed for months.
07:53She's going to be late.
07:59Okay.
08:00How long is this thing gonna take?
08:02Maybe I'll just walk?
08:04Five miles to school.
08:07Okay.
08:08If I sprint,
08:09maybe I'll make it before first period.
08:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
08:14What die of exhaustion on the way?
08:21What are you doing here?
08:23Didn't you already leave?
08:26Wait.
08:27Did you come back for me?
08:31Relax.
08:32I forgot my textbook.
08:34Don't flatter yourself.
08:36Wait.
08:36Wait.
08:37Since you're already here,
08:42maybe you could be a decent person
08:44and give me a ride?
08:47No.
08:49Seriously?
08:50Your car is huge.
08:52Yeah.
08:54And I'm not a fan of sharing.
08:56Says the guy who forced me
08:58to live in his house.
08:59I'm sick of all of my
09:01now he won't
09:02at least he needs to be
09:03Unbelievable!
09:14Ashford Institute, please.
09:20Who needs to sign a title, Brad, anything?
09:23Sir, you called the cab.
09:25Why don't you just give Miss Keith a mic?
09:29Well, I'll just give Miss Keith a look
09:33and have the whole school go crazy.
09:36She's new.
09:38Everybody's already talking.
09:39So you're worried about her?
09:41You're overthinking.
09:43I just don't like drama.
09:50Asshole.
09:52Who?
09:53Morning, Klaus.
09:56Back to Golding.
09:57Remind me what he's saying
09:59through Lord of the Flies.
10:05Mr. Kenwood.
10:06Care to share what you found so amusing?
10:09Not particularly.
10:10Oh, I insist.
10:12You seem very entertained by Golding.
10:15I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
10:18On the contrary.
10:19I think his ending is...
10:22weak.
10:23Wait, wait.
10:25Where's she read it?
10:26Quiet.
10:26That's an interesting take.
10:30Explain.
10:32He had to step up for something brutal.
10:35Something honest.
10:37But in the end, he backed out.
10:39He could have left the boys on the island.
10:41Forced them to confront a collapsible morality.
10:43Let them choose survival.
10:45Or death.
10:47But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
10:49Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
10:53It's a waste.
10:57Don't you think?
10:58I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
11:00Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
11:03I'm always a model student, sir.
11:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
11:09So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
11:12Anyone disagree?
11:13I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
11:33It's not mercy.
11:34It's irony.
11:35How so?
11:39The rescue isn't a happy ending.
11:41You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
11:45Golding didn't save them.
11:46He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
11:48That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
11:51You still think it's a harsh critique?
11:53In some ways.
11:55But not harsh enough.
11:57Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity.
12:00But still, Golding sympathized with them.
12:03And the civilized world?
12:05Toxic, violent.
12:06He didn't call that out nearly as much.
12:08So, yeah.
12:08I don't think Golding pushed far enough.
12:10But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
12:12Thank you, Miss Keaton.
12:18Well said.
12:20Anyone else?
12:23Both opinions are valid.
12:24Okay.
12:25That's kind of epic.
12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
12:31Good literature will always divide up.
12:36What's happening to me?
12:37Okay, what is going on?
12:44Why are you going seriously?
12:47Well, your noose apparently had a thing with Charles.
12:51A what now?
12:52We two are in the middle of this epic feud as you've seen in here.
12:56We're not even fighting.
12:57Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one.
13:00Got rejected.
13:02Begged to sit next to him.
13:03Got rejected again.
13:04And today in class, when you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings,
13:10it dawned out in tears.
13:13You were there, Sherry.
13:14That is not what happened.
13:16So it doesn't matter.
13:18People believe what they want to believe.
13:20And they want Charles to be flawless.
13:22Untouchable.
13:24Wow.
13:25Isn't the sergeant like a bridge kissing is a British specialty?
13:28Honestly, you'd say.
13:30But there is the answer.
13:32Some people already see you after that.
13:34Okay.
13:43Loaded.
13:45I've been a new gentleman for our first semester.
14:02Hello?
14:02Hello?
14:02Hello?
14:04Is somebody out there?
14:09Oh, come on!
14:10Hi.
14:11Hi.
14:23Hi.
14:32Seriously?
14:39Seriously?
14:41Oh shit!
14:47What the hell?
14:49Anne!
14:51I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
14:53She has to come home. Her phone is off.
14:55Maybe you've seen her, what do you think?
14:59Yikes.
15:01That's why the new girl lived for a rough first semester.
15:09Oh shit!
15:15Alice! Alice!
15:17Mr. Nelson, Charles Kenwood here.
15:19I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
15:21She hasn't come home.
15:23I'll have a send over.
15:25Check the common room in the library.
15:27I'll check the rest.
15:29Alice!
15:39Come on Alice.
15:47Hold your eyes and jump.
15:49It's fine.
15:51You're fine.
16:09What are you doing here?
16:29You get off me first.
16:39You're welcome.
16:43I didn't say thank you.
16:44I figured saving your life might hurt me basic manners.
16:47Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
16:52You smell like a biology experiment.
16:54Wow.
16:56You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
16:59Wouldn't recommend it.
17:01You're heavier than you look.
17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
17:09Are you okay?
17:13No.
17:14But I will be.
17:16Someone did this on purpose.
17:18What do you think, Goldiloy?
17:21Don't worry, I can handle it.
17:22You shouldn't have to.
17:25I'm sorry.
17:34Sorry.
17:39Did you just apologize to me?
17:43Don't get used to it.
17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
17:47Alice?
17:49Over here.
17:52You okay?
17:55Why are you drenched?
17:57Yeah.
17:58I just took a weird shower.
18:00It's half exploded.
18:03Come on.
18:04Let's get your hands.
18:04I just teach him, right?
18:17I heard you teach the whole thing for attention.
18:20I know how this place works.
18:46If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
18:50I'll look into it.
18:53Charles?
18:55Good on you.
18:57How many here would speak up?
19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
19:04That's insane.
19:06Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
19:08They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust flags.
19:11Well, for what it's worth,
19:13I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
19:19Being a scholarship student has its perks.
19:39Perks like saving a fortune on tuition
19:42and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
19:48Hey, we miss you in Paris.
19:50Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
19:53But sometimes, being here in your stand behind
19:56and watching Ask for the Leaves to go on a two-week enrichment program
20:00you can never afford.
20:03Have fun.
20:05Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
20:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
20:14which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
20:18So, yeah, I didn't go.
20:20Uh, what are you doing here?
20:43Do you not believe in shirts?
20:44Do you not believe in dignity?
20:46It's comfortable.
20:47You look like a rejected Ewok.
20:50This, this is not even your kitchen.
20:52And this is not even your house.
20:54And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
20:57Just don't look. Go away.
20:59Fuck not to.
21:00You're walking around dressed like that.
21:02What do you guys call it?
21:03Um, buzzkill?
21:06Cockblock.
21:07You're insufferable.
21:08You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
21:11You know what? I don't get it.
21:12Why didn't you go on that tour?
21:14I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
21:15Why do you think?
21:22How would I go?
21:24I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
21:28Florence.
21:29Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Titian.
21:34Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
21:37Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
21:44Next stop, Napoli.
21:46Marvel at Pompeii.
21:47Pretend you're shocked.
21:48Ancient people had plumbing.
21:50The final stop, Paris.
21:53The ultimate city of romance.
21:55And, naturally, Woody Allen's favorite city outside of New York.
22:03That's word for word.
22:05I told you.
22:06I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
22:09Okay, but still, it's Europe.
22:11Most people would kill for that chance.
22:13Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
22:16Twice.
22:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
22:20Aren't they all five-star hotels?
22:22Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
22:24No, thank you.
22:26Wow.
22:27Some were born in Rome, huh?
22:29Well, that's unfortunate.
22:30It's a very chaotic city.
22:32One word of advice?
22:33Shut up.
22:33It's two words.
22:37You're weird.
22:38You're loud.
22:38You're annoying.
22:39You're in my kitchen.
22:40You have three other kitchens.
22:41And I prefer this one.
22:43Just for today.
22:45Come back when you've got a shirt on.
22:46Come back from normal place on.
22:48You don't have to come.
22:49Don't tell me what I have to do.
22:59That's a Charles.
23:00Rose is flooded.
23:01Staff won't make it tonight.
23:02Will you be alright sorting dinner?
23:07I've got it sorted.
23:16Jesus, what are you doing?
23:22Relax.
23:24I'm here to make a deal.
23:26What deal?
23:27You nearly gave me a heart attack.
23:32You'll survive.
23:34I'm not selling my body.
23:36Shh.
23:36I'm not selling my body.
23:46Wow.
23:47I am deeply offended.
23:50That thought disgusts me.
23:52Then what are you doing?
23:53Staff's off tonight.
23:55I'm buying dinner.
23:59Did you seriously think I'd spend 100 pounds on...
24:01No, I'm...
24:02Jesus.
24:05Wait.
24:06You think I'm not worth 100 pounds?
24:09I'm not spending 100 pounds to snort you back up.
24:12You know what?
24:13Dinner's cancelled.
24:17Are you sure about that?
24:18I present to you...
24:22Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
24:25You're welcome.
24:26Interesting combo.
24:28Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
24:32It's...
24:33Good.
24:40Was that a compliment?
24:42Although...
24:43I am obliged to inform you...
24:45Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
24:47It's American.
24:48And french fries.
24:49Like he bought in South America.
24:51You should read more.
24:54Put it down.
24:56I paid for it.
24:57You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
24:59To be fair.
25:00You make it very easy.
25:03It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds.
25:07You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
25:09I'll make sure.
25:09Okay, Alice.
25:25It's fine.
25:27You're fine.
25:28I'm going to ask for more.
25:32I'm going to ask for more.
25:35911, what's with your emergency?
25:41911, what's with your emergency?
25:43It's my dad.
25:44He needs help.
25:45He just had a stroke.
25:46Okay, ma'am.
25:47The hurricane's called for traffic.
25:48Shutdown gets you as soon as we can.
25:50You're crazy.
25:51Not well.
25:51I understand.
25:53Can you confirm your address?
25:56Daddy.
25:57Yes, I'm right here.
25:58Hi.
26:00My daughter.
26:01Please, please stay with me, Dad.
26:03Please.
26:08No.
26:10Please wake up.
26:15Dad, please.
26:17Please don't leave me.
26:18Please.
26:31What are you doing here?
26:56You were crying.
26:58Loudly.
26:59Kind of hard to ignore.
27:02Right.
27:04Sorry for the noise.
27:06Wait.
27:07The nurse knock you come back?
27:09Not tonight.
27:09I'm too tired.
27:11If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
27:15You were calling for your dad, right?
27:19Hurricane hit New York.
27:21Power went down.
27:22Traffic froze.
27:24Dad had a stroke.
27:26But he couldn't get home in time.
27:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
27:37Peaceful.
27:38Like he was asleep.
27:41But he wasn't.
27:45So that's why you and your mom moved here?
27:47This used to be your hometown.
27:52After Dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
28:01What are you doing?
28:06Come on.
28:07Wait, I thought the peril was out of it.
28:25It is.
28:27We have our own generator.
28:28Wow.
28:29Rich people houses her.
28:31Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
28:35Allow what?
28:37You can call this place your house.
28:39So enjoy it.
28:40Stephen King's first edition.
28:42Alan Gisbo's handwritten letters.
28:44Jane Austen's notes.
28:45All yours.
28:46This is your home, Alice Keaton.
29:00Careful.
29:01Almost sounded sweet.
29:03Don't push it.
29:04Okay, then.
29:04I have one request.
29:13What is it?
29:21Are you ever going to make a move?
29:23Wait.
29:24Give me a second.
29:25I'm thinking.
29:26You have one wish.
29:28Anything in the world.
29:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
29:32Inside a literal mansion,
29:34You chose chess.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Got a problem?
29:38It's just so cool.
29:40Like, spies are genius villains in movies.
29:43It's literally a board game.
29:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
29:47Wait.
29:48Does the knight go diagonally?
29:50For the tenth time,
29:52It moves in an L shape.
29:54One.
29:55Two.
29:56Then turns.
29:58There.
30:00Happy.
30:01Exciting.
30:05Suicide.
30:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
30:08You are playing jackass at a chessboard.
30:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
30:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
30:13Golding disagrees.
30:15It's going to be a long night.
30:17Oh my goodness.
30:17No.
30:18Why?
30:18What's wrong with that?
30:19You can't do that.
30:20You can't do that.
30:20No, no.
30:21Oh my goodness.
30:22You had a shot but you went about it all wrong.
30:26I'm glad to pull you in close.
30:28As we're locked up.
30:29On your phone.
30:30Why are you sour?
30:31Because I'm moving around.
30:33Oh you're.
30:35Showing up at my door.
30:38Holding your heart there inside you.
30:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
30:45Um, who are you?
30:59What are you doing here?
31:01Oh, your parents said you were still at home.
31:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
31:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
31:07When did you get back?
31:09Last night.
31:10From Zurich.
31:11You didn't answer my messages.
31:14I missed you.
31:16Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
31:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
31:21Your parents were so thrilled.
31:23They didn't tell me about this.
31:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
31:27They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
31:29You know, considering the engagement and all.
31:33Engagement.
31:36Oh, did no one tell you?
31:38He's promised.
31:40Old money stuff.
31:41Very retro.
31:42I didn't agree to that.
31:43You didn't have to.
31:44It's never up to us.
31:47Where did you find this little toy?
31:50Serena.
31:50Where are you, you're not?
31:52Oh, an American.
31:54How refreshing.
32:00Goodbye.
32:01Wait.
32:18Where are you going?
32:19You still don't need breakfast.
32:21You only paid for dinner.
32:23I have homework.
32:24Goodbye.
32:28Your little toy has quite the tempest.
32:30Serena, can you please just stop?
32:32What?
32:33Teasing the help.
32:40That's her.
32:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
32:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
32:45Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
33:04They're saying you live with Charles.
33:06Oh, and Serena.
33:07What about her?
33:08Apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
33:12Of course she did.
33:26Careful, Alice.
33:27You're starting to look desperate.
33:37Yeah.
33:39Can you help me?
33:40Can you help me about my ass?
33:41I will.
33:421066.
33:43Come to the music room.
33:45Urgent.
33:46I just remembered I need to check something you guys go ahead
