00:09:39she's new
00:09:40everybody's already talking
00:09:42so you're worried about her
00:09:44you're overthinking
00:09:45I just don't like drama
00:09:53asshole
00:09:54who
00:09:55here
00:09:57morning
00:09:57class
00:09:59back to Golding
00:10:00remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:08Mr. Kenwood
00:10:09care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:11not particularly
00:10:13oh
00:10:14I insist
00:10:15you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:17I'm not entertained by Golding sir
00:10:20on the contrary
00:10:22I think his ending is
00:10:24weak
00:10:26wait wait
00:10:27you actually read it
00:10:28quiet
00:10:29that's an interesting take
00:10:32explain
00:10:33he had the setup for something brutal
00:10:37something honest
00:10:39in the end
00:10:40but in the end
00:10:41he backed out
00:10:42he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:44forced them to confront
00:10:45the collapse of all morality
00:10:46let them choose survival
00:10:48or death
00:10:49but instead
00:10:50he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:52slapped a happily ever after
00:10:54on a book about
00:10:55savagery
00:10:59it's a waste
00:11:00don't you think
00:11:01I'm delightfully surprised Charles
00:11:03didn't think you had such
00:11:04strong literary opinions
00:11:06I'm always a model student sir
00:11:08let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so
00:11:12a critique of Golding's mercy
00:11:15anyone disagree?
00:11:16I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:35it'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
00:11:47Golding 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
00:11:54you still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:56in some ways
00:11:57but
00:11:58not harsh enough
00:11:59yes
00:12:00it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:02but still
00:12:03Golding sympathised with them
00:12:05and the civilised world
00:12:07toxic
00:12:08violent
00:12:09he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:10so yeah
00:12:11I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:12:13but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:20thank you Miss Keaton
00:12:22well said
00:12:23anyone else?
00:12:26both opinions are valid
00:12:28okay that's kind of epic
00:12:29and let's not forget
00:12:30Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:34good literature will always divide opinions
00:12:39what's happening to me?
00:12:41okay what is going on? why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:00well you're new
00:13:02and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:04a what now?
00:13:05you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Astrid's scene in years
00:13:09we're not even fighting
00:13:11well according to everyone
00:13:12you confessed your love on day one
00:13:14got rejected
00:13:15begged to sit next to him
00:13:17got rejected again
00:13:18and today in class
00:13:20you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:23and stormed out in tears
00:13:26you were there Sherry that is not what happened
00:13:30doesn't matter
00:13:31people believe what they want to believe
00:13:33and they want Charles to be flawless
00:13:35untouchable
00:13:37wow
00:13:38is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:42honestly
00:13:43both
00:13:44but
00:13:45seriously Alice
00:13:46some people already see you as a threat

00:15:23Shit.
00:15:29Alice! Alice!
00:15:31Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:33I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:36She hasn't come home.
00:15:37I'll have it sent over.
00:15:39Check the common room in the library.
00:15:41I'll take the rest.
00:15:45Alice!
00:15:53Come on, Alice.
00:15:59Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:03It's fine.
00:16:05You're fine.
00:16:23Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:16:33Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:39What... what are you doing here?
00:16:43Can you get off me first?
00:16:47Alright.
00:16:49You're welcome.
00:16:57I didn't say thank you.
00:16:59I 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.
00:17:14Wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:19I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:26Are 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.
00:17:40I'm...
00:17:42sorry.
00:17:49Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:50Don't get used to it.
00:17:51I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:52Alice?
00:17:53Over here.
00:17:54Oh my God.
00:17:55You okay?
00:17:56Are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58Yeah, I just...
00:17:59I...
00:18:04I...
00:18:05I...
00:18:06I.
00:18:07I just...
00:18:08I took a weird shower.
00:18:09Top exploded.
00:18:10Why are you drenched?
00:18:12Yeah, I just took a weird shower. Tap exploded.
00:18:18Come on, let's get you home.
00:18:30Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:33I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:40I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:06I'll look into it.
00:19:07Charles, good on you. How many here would speak up?
00:19:18I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That'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.
00:19:32Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:34Being 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.
00:19:48Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:50Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:54But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:56And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:00Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:12The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:30So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:56Uh, what 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. And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:11Just don't look, go away.
00:21:13Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:17What do you guys call it? Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:22You're insufferable.
00:21:23You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:25You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:28I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:30Why do you think?
00:21:38Where would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:42Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian, or Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:52Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:58Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:04The final stop, Harry. The ultimate city of romance.
00:22:10And naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:16That'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.
00:22:32Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:34Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:36Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:40Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:44That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:46One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:48That's two words.
00:22:50You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:54You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens.
00:22:56And 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. You didn't have to come.
00:23:04Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:14Arthur Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:18Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:22I've got it sorted.
00:23:36Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:38Relax.
00:23:40I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:42What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:48You'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?
00:24:10The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:24:12Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:24:16No, I'm...
00:24:18Jesus.
00:24:20Wait.
00:24:22You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:24I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:28You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:30Are you sure about that?
00:24:36I present to you.
00:24:38Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:40You're welcome.
00:24:42Interesting combo.
00:24:44Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:46It's...
00:24:48Good.
00:24:56Was that a compliment?
00:24:58Although...
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 asked for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:25I'll make sure of it.
00:25:41Hey, Alice. It's fine.
00:25:43You're...
00:25:44You're fine.
00:25:51911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:58911, what's with 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's constant traffic shut down.
00:26:05We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:06Please, he's not well.
00:26:07I understand.
00:26:08Can you confirm your address?
00:26:10Dad.
00:26:11Yes, I'm right here.
00:26:12Alright.
00:26:13My daughter.
00:26:14Please, stay with me, Dad.
00:26:15Please.
00:26:16No.
00:26:17Please, wake up.
00:26:18Dad.
00:26:19Please, stay with me, Dad.
00:26:20Please.
00:26:24No.
00:26:26Please, wake up.
00:26:27Dad, please.
00:26:28Please, wake up.
00:26:31Dad, please, please don't leave me.
00:26:33Please don't leave me.
00:27:03What are you doing here?
00:27:10You were crying. Loudly. Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:19Right. Sorry for the night.
00:27:22Wait. You gonna snarky come back?
00:27:25Not tonight. I'm too tired. If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:31You were calling from your dad, right?
00:27:35Hurricane 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. Peaceful.
00:27:55He was asleep. But he wasn't.
00:28:01So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:05This used to be our hometown. After Dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:13What are you doing?
00:28:19Come on.
00:28:23Come on.
00:28:40Wait. I thought the peril was out.
00:28:43It is. We have our own generator.
00:28:45Wow. Rich people houses her.
00:28:48Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:52Allow what?
00:28:53You can call this place your house. So enjoy it.
00:28:56Stephen King's first edition.

00:29:00Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:02All yours.
00:29:03This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:16Careful. Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:20Don't push it.
00:29:21Okay, then.
00:29:24I have...
00:29:27One request.
00:29:30What is it?
00:29:39Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:40Wait.
00:29:41Give me a second.
00:29:42I'm thinking.
00:29:44You had one wish.
00:29:46Anything in the world.
00:29:47And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:49inside a literal mansion,
00:29:51you chose chess.
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:54Got a problem?
00:29:56It's just so cool.
00:29:57Like, spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:00It's literally a board game.
00:30:02Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:04Wait.
00:30:05Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:07For 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.
00:30:21You know.
00:30:22That's suicide.
00:30:23Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:25You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:27Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:28You literally haven't won me after arguments.
00:30:30Golding disagrees.
00:30:32It's going to be a long night.
00:30:34Oh, my...
00:30:35No.
00:30:36Why? What's wrong with that?
00:30:37You can't do that.
00:30:38Can I do that?
00:30:39No, no. Oh, my God.
00:30:40You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:43Had to pull you in close as we locked on your phone.
00:30:47All yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:50Oh, yeah.
00:30:52Showing up at my door.
00:30:56Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:59Maybe...
00:31:00He's not so awful after all.
00:31:03I'm going to go.
00:31:04I'm going to go.
00:31:05I'm going to go.
00:31:06I'm going to go.
00:31:07No.
00:31:08I'm going to go.
00:31:09Um...
00:31:10Who are you?
00:31:11What are you doing here?
00:31:12Well...
00:31:13Your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:14Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:15Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:16When did you get back?
00:31:17What 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.
00:31:52Engagement?
00:31:54Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:57He's promised.
00:31:58Old money stuff, very retro.
00:32:00I didn't agree to that.
00:32:02You didn't have to.
00:32:03It'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.
00:32:13How refreshing.
00:32:18Goodbye.
00:32:19Wait.
00:32:20Wait.
00:32:37Where are you going?
00:32:38You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:40You only paid for dinner.
00:32:42I have homework.
00:32:43Goodbye.
00:32:44Your 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.
00:33:03Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:33:05Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:22They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:24Oh, and Serena.
00:33:26What about her?
00:33:27Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:30Of course she did.
00:33:32Careful, Alice.
00:33:45You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:47Desperate.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00Can you help me with my answer?
00:34:01I know, it's 1066.
00:34:02Yeah.
00:34:03Come to the music room.
00:34:04Urgent.
00:34:06I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:08You guys go ahead.
00:34:09Yeah, okay.
00:34:10Then, you guys go ahead and see her.
00:34:16Hello?
00:34:17Is someone there?
00:34:18Seriously?
00:34:19This is getting old.
00:34:32Wait.
00:34:34Music room?
00:34:35What?
00:34:36James?
00:34:38Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:40Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:44Sir?
00:34:46Sir, it's raining!
00:34:58Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:00You're not that girl again.
00:35:06Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:12Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:16Bishops move diagonally.
00:35:18And knights... The knight's the weird one.
00:35:26Rooks.
00:35:28Straight lines.
00:35:30Bishops.
00:35:32Diagonally.
00:35:34Hello?
00:35:36The text.
00:35:38Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:42I'm okay.
00:35:44I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:46I didn't see the message.
00:35:48Serena took my phone.
00:35:52I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:54I'm okay.
00:35:56You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:58You're freezing.
00:36:00You didn't have to come.
00:36:12Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:14Give me hope that feels like hope.
00:36:24I'm sorry.
00:36:26You're freezing.
00:36:28You're freezing.
00:36:30I know.
00:36:32She's cold.
00:36:34I'm pretty...
00:36:36I'll go.
00:36:38Let go.
00:36:40That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:42If that's what you're about to say...
00:36:44I wasn't going to.
00:36:59I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:02What? Kissing?
00:37:03Hiding feelings.
00:37:04I don't like that.
00:37:14Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:29Oh, you wish.
00:37:32Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:37:35You kissed me.
00:37:37That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:44Dangerous 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.
00:38:11Are you okay?
00:38:14That's where I'll see your face.
00:38:20And have you with me.
00:38:26It may seem dark.
00:38:29But you always like my spark.
00:38:33You're distracting.
00:38:35You're welcome.
00:38:45They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:49Honestly?
00:38:50Both.
00:38:51I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:57No one's ever gonna be the thing you need.
00:38:59They all just let me down.
00:39:01But baby, you saved me.
00:39:04Till I'm brand new.
00:39:06Everything's so different now.
00:39:10So the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:14Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:16Because it's weird.
00:39:18And I like weird.
00:39:20Check.
00:39:24Check.
00:39:25You're cheating.
00:39:26I'm winning.
00:39:27There's a difference.
00:39:28You are very distracting.
00:39:29And you like it.
00:39:30Charles.
00:39:31We need to talk.
00:39:32We 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...
00:40:23You have no right to barge in.
00:40:25On my property.
00:40:30I care about her.
00:40:32I'm not ashamed of that.
00:40:33That's enough.
00:40:36Why do you care?
00:40:37We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:40And our name.
00:40:42You think this protects me?
00:40:44We think she 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?
00:41:12I'm asking you.
00:41:13Do you think she's ready?
00:41:14To lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:41:19What are you talking about?
00:41:20You left us no choice, son.
00:41:22You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:28Pelton.
00:41:29It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:31Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:32How can I help?
00:41:33If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:41:43Yes, sir.
00:41:47So, answer me again.
00:41:49Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:53Charles!
00:41:54What happened?
00:41:55Did your parents say something?
00:41:56Are they mad?
00:41:57Is everything okay?
00:41:58Pack your things.
00:41:59You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:00What?
00:42:01My parents fired your mother.
00:42:02She's leaving.
00:42:03So are you.
00:42:04Wait.
00:42:05Wait.
00:42:06Why?
00:42:07Is it because of us?
00:42:08We can fix this.
00:42:09I'll get a job.
00:42:10Anything.
00:42:11Stop it.
00:42:12You don't get it.
00:42:13If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:14Okay?
00:42:15No card.
00:42:16No card.
00:42:17No card.
00:42:18No card.
00:42:19No card.
00:42:20No card.
00:42:21No card.
00:42:22No card.
00:42:23No card.
00:42:24No card.
00:42:25No card.
00:42:26No card.
00:42:27No card.
00:42:28No card.
00:42:29No card.
00:42:30No card.
00:42:31No card.
00:42:32No card.
00:42:33No card.
00:42:34No card.
00:42:35No card.
00:42:36No card.
00:42:37No card.
00:42:38No card.
00:42:39No card.
00:42:40No card.
00:42:41No card.
00:42:42No card.
00:42:43No card.
00:42:44Then we'll figure it out.
00:42:45We don't need all of that.
00:42:46We can...
00:42:47Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:48So that's what this was?
00:42:49Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:54What did they promise you?
00:42:56Nothing.
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?
00:43:20What did they threaten you with?
00:43:22This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:24What?
00:43:25You think you know me, or what I have.
00:43:28You don't, Alice.
00:43:31You're still lying.
00:43:32I'm not, Alice.
00:43:33Look around you.
00:43:35This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:38It's my house.
00:43:40My world.
00:43:42I was bored into this.
00:43:43I am not choosing between this and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:54Don't do this, Charles. You don't mean it.
00:43:57Look, it was fun.
00:43:58But with you, you don't compare to what I own.
00:44:04I'll survive the loss.
00:44:08Right.
00:44:09I should have known.
00:44:12Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:19You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:44:23Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:24This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:44:41In so deep, I can barely see myself.
00:44:46Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:44:51But I find this the place to test myself.
00:44:56Oops.
00:44:57Oops.
00:45:06Oops.
00:45:24Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there.
00:45:27Then again, nobody does.
00:45:29Move, please.
00:45:31Hmm. Try begging.
00:45:36You know what? Keep it.
00:45:45Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:45:48Don't.
00:45:50Excuse me?
00:45:51I warned you.
00:45:53Walk away, Serena.
00:46:06You know what?
00:46:08You know what?
00:46:15Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:19But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:46:22Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:25Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:27She loves the sound of her own voice. Better have it.
00:46:30I couldn't stay. I couldn't wait.
00:46:34I thought they used to know that I would have.
00:46:37Can hang around with us tonight.
00:46:39Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:46:43Like logic and chaos. Or silence and noise.
00:46:48Different worlds. Different rules.
00:46:52At first glance, they clash.
00:46:55But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:58Confusion. Curiosity.
00:47:01But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:04And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:17And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:21Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:26Miss Keaton.
00:47:29Dramatic as always.
00:47:30Alright. Thank you, Alice.
00:47:32Yes, that was late.
00:47:36Are you okay?
00:47:37A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:47:44Hello?
00:47:45Hi, here's Alice Keaton. This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:47We've been following your work.
00:47:48We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:51Name your price. We'll make it work.
00:47:53Sorry, what?
00:47:58That's kind of insane.
00:48:00Who's behind this?
00:48:02Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:05Can...
00:48:06Can I meet them?
00:48:09I want to.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:11Or at least tell me a name.
00:48:13Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:48:18Since they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:48:20I'd really like to meet them.
00:48:22I'm sorry, Miss Keaton. They were very good.
00:48:24I think the most generous offer we've ever given in New York City.
00:48:28I see.
00:48:29Congratulations again.
00:48:30You got the interview.
00:48:31It's just an interview.
00:48:32I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:33Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:34That's iconic.
00:48:35You okay?
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37I'm so excited.
00:48:38I'm so excited.
00:48:39I'm so excited.
00:48:40I'm so excited.
00:48:41I'm so excited.
00:48:43I'm so excited.
00:48:44It's done, Mr. Kenwood. Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:48:45Good.
00:48:46You're okay?
00:48:47I'm so excited.
00:48:48I'm so excited.
00:48:49I'm so excited.
00:48:50I'm so excited.
00:48:51I'm so excited.
00:48:52I'm so excited.
00:48:53I'm so excited.
00:48:54She's so excited!
00:49:08It'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.
00:49:22I will be before you be. I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:49:30Congratulations, Alice Keaton. Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:41Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:46And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:51It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:56I've lost my appetite.
00:50:01I'll go check on him.
00:50:07What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:09This engagement is not happening.
00:50:15It's not up to you. You know that.
00:50:17Serena, we're not doing this.
00:50:20You've changed.
00:50:22Or maybe I've finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:27You're pretending.
00:50:28You're pretending.
00:50:29You're managing.
00:50:30Any help to make money?
00:50:31This engagement, you're taking fate.
00:50:32I've reinvented myself.
00:50:33You've got nothing, won't be?
00:50:34The Londonbayor full day to the Wester of America.
00:50:35Can you?
00:50:36Tarles, you're the sponsor.
00:50:58You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:03So?
00:51:04You lied to everyone.
00:51:06Including her.
00:51:08I protected her.
00:51:11You loved her.
00:51:13Still do.
00:51:16Let it go, Serena.
00:51:19There's no point.
00:51:29I need a favour.
00:51:30Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:34To make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:41Anything?
00:51:42Lyra?
00:51:43She's not answering.
00:51:44The interview's almost over.
00:51:46Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:48Something's wrong.
00:51:49So?
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.
00:52:05Where are you going?
00:52:13Chill.
00:52:14Okay.
00:52:15We won't hurt you.
00:52:16Yeah.
00:52:17We're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview.
00:52:19That's it.
00:52:28Shit!
00:52:29Come back!
00:52:30Nothing.
00:52:33I don't think she did anything.
00:52:35No.
00:52:36No.
00:52:37No!
00:52:38No!
00:52:39No!
00:52:40Oh!
00:52:41No!
00:52:43No!
00:52:44No!
00:52:45No!
00:52:46No!
00:52:47No!
00:52:48I remember how I met
00:52:59Didn't need a second guess
00:53:03Hey, hey, hey, Alex, Alex
00:53:09Alex, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alex
00:53:13You're awake
00:53:20Where, where am I?
00:53:24A local clinic
00:53:25Passer-by brought you in
00:53:26Passer-by
00:53:28He found you on the side of the road
00:53:31He 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
00:53:47Wait, what, who?
00:53:48No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:51What did you say?
00:53:56Nothing
00:53:56I just
00:53:57Had a dream
00:54:00I got in!
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
00:54:25Know 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
00:54:34It's probably for the best
00:54:35Come on
00:54:35I couldn't stay
00:54:38I couldn't wait
00:54:39I thought that you should know
00:54:42I would have
00:54:43And hang around
00:54:45The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:48Chaotic
00:54:50Unexpected
00:54:52And with his absence
00:54:56Come on
00:54:56It ended quietly
00:54:59Like summers always do
00:55:04To see
00:55:05Did you feel it from across the room
00:55:09Did you feel a little enchanted
00:55:12And 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
00:55:27They say your stories feel real
00:55:30Especially the ones about love
00:55:32Thank 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
00:55:41Has been just writing and working
00:55:44Not even a single date
00:55:45Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:46She caught me
00:55:47Still no comment
00:55:49Alright, alright
00:55:50No matter what you say
00:55:51You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:56If you're so real
00:55:57Because once I did
00:55:59With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:01And no one ever quite matched the light
00:56:05After that
00:56:05And let's give it up for Alice Keaton
00:56:08One more time
00:56:09Congratulations Alice
00:56:21The 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
00:56:31Actually
00:56:31There's something I'd rather do
00:56:34I'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
00:56:58Good evening
00:57:02May I sit?
00:57:07Hey Mr. Nonchalant
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
00:57:33Hoping
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 were 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
00:58:10Every page
00:58:11Every reader
00:58:14That's what I came to say
00:58:16It was good to see you again
00:58:22I hope
00:58:22Charles
00:58:23Can you just
00:58:26Wait a little longer
00:58:29I 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
00:58:49Very on brand
00:58:50I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:53Too late
00:58:53Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:56Still the only girl I know
00:58:58Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:59Still the only guy I know
00:59:01Who 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 maybe you've grown into
00:59:16Who 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
00:59:30Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:32You didn't have to come
00:59:36Don't tell me
00:59:39What I have to do
00:59:47If 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
01:00:11No
01:00:16I see
01:00:21I know my answer now
01:00:26I didn't have the power
01:00:27Back then
01:00:28Not enough to protect you
01:00:30I couldn't watch you get crushed
01:00:32Because of me
01:00:32Because of my name
01:00:35My family
01:00:36I didn't want to be the reason
01:00:40You lost everything
01:00:40So you just disappeared
01:00:43Without a word
01:00:44If you had the chance
01:00:48To see the world
01:00:49Without me weighing you down
01:00:51If you still chose me
01:00:53After that
01:00:54You keep saying
01:00:58You wanted to give me a choice
01:00:59But you made a choice for me
01:01:03Did 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
01:01:35Right
01:01:36I'm still mad at you
01:01:44You know
01:01:44I'm still in love with you
01:01:48You know
01:01:49Do you want to come in for a bit
01:01:58You'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
01:02:17What 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 wants
01:02:42Called romance a distraction
01:02:44I said that
01:02:45Yeah
01:02:45Before 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
01:03:06I 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
01:03:18They're both
01:03:18It's more than a night
01:03:25To let the love again
01:03:26I vow to always tell you the truth
01:03:48Except 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
01:04:10He did beat her at soccer
01:04:11I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:04:17Especially over Shakespeare
01:04:18I vow to write you into every story
01:04:22Even when I say I didn't
01:04:24It will always be part of my life
01:04:26If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:04:30I'm out
01:04:30No you're not
01:04:31You're going to cry harder
01:04:32I can't believe you picked Paris
01:04:45Such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:05:00Guard your phone
01:05:03Relax
01:05:04Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine
01:05:07You 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
01:05:25Do not take off these clothes
01:05:26Overroared
01:05:27You look much better without them
01:05:30To the ones who loved in silence
01:05:37In chaos, in chapters
01:05:39You will find your way home
01:05:42Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:05:48But I don't want to die alone
01:05:51God
01:05:51It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:06:21Help us develop, learn, and grow
