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
00:00:17almost there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call
00:00:23it terrifying
00:00:30you've got this just for yourself that's kind of the problem
00:00:44you've got a daydream running through my brain every day
00:00:51heaven in my day
00:00:57okay
00:01:05morning class
00:01:06and you're not seated because I don't have a seat
00:01:14ah a new transfer Alice Keaton right let's see
00:01:18now there's a spot next to Charles
00:01:23Charles case sure
00:01:25seriously a charity case sitting next to Charles
00:01:29God why is she
00:01:31I've always had words for everything
00:01:38but in that moment
00:01:40I forgot them all
00:01:45work
00:01:52Charles move your things
00:01:55I'd rather not
00:01:57she'll be a distraction
00:01:58from what
00:01:59sleeping
00:02:00from everything
00:02:02if anything Charles
00:02:03Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you. She was top of her class at her previous school
00:02:09With all due respect sir, her previous school was American. I highly doubt that
00:02:17That'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 important that we look at the other two changes
00:02:32What he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:39Wait, you sat next to Charles? She didn't. He totally shut her down. Oh knew it. Don't take it personally. He's impossible
00:02:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants? What? He's hot. Everyone kind of is
00:02:55I I've seen Connor. He's not my type. You're joking. I don't find bullies attractive
00:03:01Hey, be careful. You're talking about the king of Ashford
00:03:06The what? His family basically owned the school and the town, maybe even the country. Yeah
00:03:12Everyone's tried to get close. No one can get past his ego. You're not the first to get iced. Okay, first of all
00:03:18I wasn't iced. It's more like a mutual decision and second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable
00:03:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated like he's faking out
00:03:32Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic
00:03:39What? No, go on
00:03:41You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:03:54Next time read the room before opening your mouth American
00:04:00We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice
00:04:21Hey, how was your first day?
00:04:22Uh, good
00:04:24Anything exciting happen?
00:04:25Not really, super uneventful
00:04:29Really?
00:04:29How's your new job?
00:04:31Yeah, all right
00:04:32Get this, they said we can stay in the servant's wing
00:04:34Seriously?
00:04:36Hmm, apparently the young master won't mind the company
00:04:39The young master
00:04:43This is your boss's house
00:04:45Yeah, isn't it credible?
00:04:47I mean, I wouldn't call it a house
00:04:49It's a museum with better landscaping
00:04:58Wait here, I'll talk to the butler
00:05:05Wow, rich people
00:05:08You've topped yourselves again
00:05:09Stephen King
00:05:15First edition
00:05:25Breaking and entering now
00:05:27How American of you
00:05:39You've been paying rent
00:05:41Here in my head
00:05:43Trying to fight it all
00:05:50You can get up now
00:05:52I- I'm trying
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:56Are you serious?
00:05:58Well, you said you were trying
00:06:01What is wrong with you?
00:06:03Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing
00:06:06What are you doing in my house?
00:06:07You...
00:06:10Wait
00:06:12Your house?
00:06:13My house
00:06:14My library
00:06:15And now, apparently
00:06:17My unwanted guest
00:06:20Ah, Master Charles
00:06:22You must be Miss Alice
00:06:23Anne's daughter
00:06:24She said you'd be moving in today
00:06:26She what?
00:06:27There- there's been some kind of misunderstanding
00:06:30You see, I'm not actually moving in
00:06:32Is that so?
00:06:34Yeah, I'm not staying here
00:06:35Like at all
00:06:36That's a shame
00:06:37Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement
00:06:39Well, I just don't think it's appropriate
00:06:42Well, if you're sure then absolutely not
00:06:47Come on, Alice
00:06:49You must stay
00:06:51I'm feeling
00:06:52It'll be fun
00:06:55My dear
00:06:57Classmate
00:06:59I'm dead
00:07:00Like mentally
00:07:02Socially
00:07:03And actually dead
00:07:04Just trying to figure out
00:07:12How exactly my life went off the rails
00:07:15Get it together, Alice Keaton
00:07:17You've been through hell
00:07:22Actually, no
00:07:22It won't be the thing you'll need
00:07:23They all just let you go
00:07:24This is hell
00:07:28Uh, good morning
00:07:37Wow
00:07:37Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:47One thing doesn't know
00:07:48That shop's been closed for months
00:07:50She's going to be late
00:07:51Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:07:59Maybe I'll just walk?
00:08:01Five miles to school
00:08:05Okay, if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period
00:08:08Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:15Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:18What are you doing here?
00:08:20Didn't you already leave?
00:08:23Wait
00:08:25Did you come back for me?
00:08:28Relax
00:08:30I forgot my textbook
00:08:31Don't flatter yourself
00:08:33Wait
00:08:33Since you're already here
00:08:39Maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:44No
00:08:46Seriously?
00:08:47Your car is huge
00:08:49Yeah
00:08:51And I'm not a fan of sharing
00:08:54Says the guy who forced me to live in his house
00:09:00Unbelievable
00:09:03Asher Institute please
00:09:13Thank you
00:09:17Who needs that entitled brat anyway?
00:09:20Sir
00:09:20You called the cab
00:09:22Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:28Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:30And have the whole school go crazy
00:09:32She's new
00:09:34Everybody's already talking
00:09:36So you're worried about her?
00:09:37You're overthinking
00:09:39I just don't like drama
00:09:46Asshole
00:09:48Who?
00:09:50Morning Klaus
00:09:52Back to Golding
00:09:54Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:09:56Mr Kenwood
00:10:03Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:05Not particularly
00:10:07Oh
00:10:07I insist
00:10:08You seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:11I'm not entertained by Golding sir
00:10:14On the contrary
00:10:16I think his ending is
00:10:18Weak
00:10:19Wait wait
00:10:20You actually read it?
00:10:22Quiet
00:10:25That's an interesting take
00:10:26Explain
00:10:26He had the set up for something brutal
00:10:32Something honest
00:10:33In the end he backed out
00:10:35He could have left the boys on the island
00:10:37Forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability
00:10:40Let them choose survival
00:10:42Or death
00:10:43But instead he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:46Slaps a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:52It's a waste
00:10:54Don't you think?
00:10:55I'm delightfully surprised Charles
00:10:56Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:00I'm always a model student sir
00:11:02Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:03So
00:11:07A critique of Golding's mercy
00:11:09Anyone disagree?
00:11:25I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:29It's not mercy
00:11:30It's irony
00:11:31How so?
00:11:33The rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:37You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:40Golding didn't save them
00:11:42He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:45That's an interesting take Miss Keaton
00:11:47You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:49In some ways
00:11:51But not harsh enough
00:11:53Yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:11:56But still Golding sympathized with them
00:11:59And the civilized world?
00:12:01Toxic
00:12:01Violent
00:12:02He didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:04So yeah I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:12:06But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:12Thank you Miss Keaton
00:12:13Well said
00:12:15Anyone else?
00:12:19Both opinions are valid
00:12:20Okay that's kind of epic
00:12:22And let's not forget Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:26Good literature will always divide opinions
00:12:32What's happening to me?
00:12:39Okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:41Well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:12:46A what now?
00:12:47You two are in the middle of the most epic feud at your scene in years
00:12:51We're not even fighting
00:12:53Well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected
00:12:57begged to sit next to him got rejected again
00:13:00And today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears
00:13:08You were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:11It doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:13:19Wow
00:13:21Is massaging like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:24Honestly both but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:37Okay loaded
00:13:39Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:13:58Hello?
00:14:00Hello?
00:14:02Is somebody out there?
00:14:05Oh come on!
00:14:09Hello?
00:14:19Fine
00:14:34Seriously?
00:14:37Oh shit
00:14:39What the hell?
00:14:45Anne!
00:14:46I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:48She hasn't come home
00:14:49Her phone is off
00:14:50Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:54Yikes
00:14:55Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:15:04Shit
00:15:09Alice!
00:15:10Alice!
00:15:10Alice!
00:15:11Alice!
00:15:11Mr Pelton!
00:15:12Charles Kenwood here
00:15:13I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton
00:15:16She hasn't come home
00:15:17I'll have it sent over
00:15:20Check the common room in the library
00:15:21I'll take the rest
00:15:25Alice!
00:15:25Come on Alice
00:15:40Close your eyes and jump
00:15:44It's fine
00:15:45You're fine
00:15:46No
00:15:55No
00:15:56No
00:15:58No
00:16:00Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:11Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:17What are you doing here?
00:16:21Can you get off me first?
00:16:25You're welcome
00:16:36I didn't say thank you
00:16:38I figured saving your life might only be basic manners
00:16:41Someone just dumped swamp water on me
00:16:44Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite
00:16:46You smell like a biology experiment
00:16:48Wow
00:16:50You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it
00:16:53Wouldn't recommend it
00:16:55You're heavier than you look
00:16:58I hope you pull your shoulder
00:17:00Are you okay?
00:17:06No
00:17:08But I will be
00:17:10Someone did this on purpose
00:17:12What do you think golden boy?
00:17:14Don't worry I can handle it
00:17:16You shouldn't have to
00:17:18I'm sorry
00:17:28Sorry
00:17:33Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:36Don't get used to it
00:17:37I wouldn't dream of it
00:17:41Alice?
00:17:42Over here
00:17:43Oh my god
00:17:46You okay?
00:17:49Why are you drenched?
00:17:50Yeah
00:17:51I just
00:17:52Took a weird shower
00:17:53Top exploded
00:17:56Come on
00:17:57Let's get you home
00:18:08Alice Keaton right?
00:18:09I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:11I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:13I know how this place works
00:18:14If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse
00:18:16I know how this place works
00:18:18If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse
00:18:20I'll look into it
00:18:33Charles
00:18:36Good on you
00:18:37I know how this place works
00:18:39If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse
00:18:43I'll look into it
00:18:46Charles
00:18:48Good on you
00:18:49How many here would speak up?
00:18:55I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane!
00:18:59Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:01Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:04Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:10Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:19Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:19:32Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:39Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:19:42Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:45But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:19:48And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:19:55Have fun! Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:04The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:10So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:15Ahem
00:20:20Ahem
00:20:28Fake
00:20:31Textiley
00:20:33Hahnemont
00:20:34Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:35Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:36It's comfortable.
00:20:38You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:40This... this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:43And this is not even your house and yet you're here dressed like this
00:20:48Just don't look go away hard not to and you're walking around dressed like that
00:20:53What do you guys call it?
00:20:55buzzkill
00:20:57Cock block
00:20:58You're insufferable. You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:21:02You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:05I thought rich people live for that kind of thing. Why do you think?
00:21:13Where would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:21:19Florence walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci and Titian or
00:21:25Tiziano if you want to sound extra pretentious
00:21:28Then Venice because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:21:34Next stop Napoli
00:21:36Marvel at Pompeii pretend you're shocked ancient people had plumbing the final stop
00:21:41Harry
00:21:43The ultimate city of romance and naturally Woody Allen's favorite city outside of New York
00:21:53That's word for word
00:21:55I told you I've done this tour so many times I could run it
00:21:59Okay, but still it's Europe most people would kill for that chance most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:22:06twice
00:22:08Also, I hate the accommodations
00:22:10Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:12Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No, thank you
00:22:17Wow
00:22:18Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:20That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city
00:22:22One word of advice? Shut up
00:22:23That's two words
00:22:26You're weird
00:22:27You're loud
00:22:28You're annoying
00:22:29You're in my kitchen
00:22:30You have three other kitchens
00:22:31And I prefer this one
00:22:32Just for today
00:22:33Come back when you've got a shirt on
00:22:35Come back when you've got a shirt on
00:22:37Come back with normal clothes on
00:22:38You didn't have to come
00:22:39Don't tell me what I have to do
00:22:49Master Charles, roads are flooded
00:22:51Staff won't make it tonight
00:22:52Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:22:57I've got it sorted
00:22:58I'm here to make a deal
00:23:00What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack
00:23:02You'll survive
00:23:04I'm not selling my body
00:23:06I'm not selling my body
00:23:09Ah, Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:12Relax
00:23:15I'm here to make a deal
00:23:16What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack
00:23:22You'll survive
00:23:24I'm not selling my body
00:23:30I'm not selling my body
00:23:36Wow! I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me.
00:23:42Then what are you doing?
00:23:43The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:23:49Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:23:51No! I... I...
00:23:52Jesus.
00:23:54Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:23:59I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:02You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:06Are you sure about that?
00:24:10I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:15You're welcome.
00:24:16Interesting combo.
00:24:18Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:21It's... good.
00:24:29Was that a compliment?
00:24:31Although... I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:34Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian. It's American.
00:24:37And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:40You should read more.
00:24:43Put it down.
00:24:45I paid for it.
00:24:46You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:48To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:24:52It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:24:55You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:24:58I'll make sure we're next.
00:24:59Okay, Alice. It's fine.
00:25:15You're fine.
00:25:17You're fine.
00:25:24911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:30911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:32It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:34Okay, Miss. The hurricane's caused the traffic to shut down.
00:25:37We'll get to you as soon as we can, all right?
00:25:38Please, you're not well.
00:25:39I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:45Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:47Hi.
00:25:49My daughter.
00:25:50Please, stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:25:52Please.
00:25:57No.
00:25:59Please wake up.
00:26:04Dad, please.
00:26:06Please don't leave me.
00:26:22You...
00:26:39What are you doing here?
00:26:44You were crying.
00:26:47Loudly.
00:26:49Kind of hard to ignore.
00:26:50Right.
00:26:52Sorry for the noise.
00:26:54Wait.
00:26:55No snarky come back?
00:26:57Not tonight. I'm too tired.
00:26:59If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:03You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:06Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:09Power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:12Dad had a stroke.
00:27:14But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:16I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:20Peaceful.
00:27:22Like he was asleep.
00:27:24But he wasn't.
00:27:26So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:27This used to be our hometown.
00:27:28After Dad left...
00:27:30We had nowhere else to go.
00:27:33What are you doing?
00:27:35Come on.
00:27:37What are you doing?
00:27:39Come on.
00:27:41What are you doing?
00:27:43We had nowhere else to go.
00:27:45We had nowhere else to go.
00:27:47What are you doing?
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:51Come on.
00:27:53Come on.
00:28:11Wait. I thought the peril was out.
00:28:14It is. We have our own generator.
00:28:17Wow. Rich people houses her.
00:28:18Just for tonight.
00:28:20I'll allow it.
00:28:22Allow what?
00:28:24You can call this place your house.
00:28:26So enjoy it.
00:28:28Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:30Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:32Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:34All yours.
00:28:38This...
00:28:40Is your home.
00:28:42Alice Keaton.
00:28:44Careful.
00:28:49Almost sounded sweet.
00:28:51Don't push it.
00:28:52Okay then.
00:28:56I have...
00:28:58One request.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:09Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:10Wait.
00:29:11Give me a second.
00:29:12I'm thinking.
00:29:14You had one wish.
00:29:16Anything in the world.
00:29:18And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:20Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:22You chose chess.
00:29:24Yeah. Got a problem?
00:29:26It's just so cool.
00:29:28Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:30It's literally a board game.
00:29:32Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:35Wait. Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:37For the tenth time.
00:29:39It moves in an L shape.
00:29:41One.
00:29:43Two.
00:29:44Then turn.
00:29:46There.
00:29:48Happy?
00:29:49Ecstatic.
00:29:51You know.
00:29:52That's suicide.
00:29:54Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:29:56You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:29:58Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:29:59You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:01Golding disagrees.
00:30:02It's going to be a long night.
00:30:03Oh my.
00:30:04No.
00:30:05Why? What's that like that?
00:30:06You can't do that.
00:30:07Oh my god.
00:30:08Can I do that?
00:30:09Oh my god.
00:30:10You had your shot but you went about it all wrong.
00:30:13Tied to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:17Now you're sour cause I'm moving on.
00:30:21Oh you're showing up at my door.
00:30:26Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:30Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:32Um, who are you?
00:30:46What are you doing here?
00:30:48Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:30:50Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:30:53Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:30:55When did you get back?
00:30:56Last night.
00:30:57From Zurich.
00:30:58You didn't answer my messages.
00:30:59I missed you.
00:31:02Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:05Apparently I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:08Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:09They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:11I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:13They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:17You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:20Engagement?
00:31:22Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:25He's promised.
00:31:26Old money stuff.
00:31:28Very retro.
00:31:29I didn't agree to that.
00:31:30You didn't have to.
00:31:31It's never up to us.
00:31:34Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:36Serena?
00:31:37I can hear you, you know.
00:31:39Oh, an American.
00:31:42How refreshing.
00:31:47Goodbye.
00:31:48Wait.
00:31:56Serena.
00:31:57Where are you going?
00:31:58You still owe me breakfast.
00:31:59You only paid for dinner.
00:32:00I had homework.
00:32:01Goodbye.
00:32:02Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:03Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:04What?
00:32:05Teasing the help?

00:32:48Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:32:50They're saying you live with Charles.
00:32:52Oh, and Serena.
00:32:54Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:32:58Of course she did.
00:33:12Careful, Alice. You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:24Come to the music room. Urgent.
00:33:32I just remembered I need to check something. You guys go ahead.
00:33:35Yeah, okay.
00:33:42Alice! Is someone there? Seriously! This is getting old!
00:33:54Wait. Music room? What?
00:34:04James?
00:34:05Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:07Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:11Sir?
00:34:13Sir, it's raining!
00:34:24Come on, Alice. You're fine.
00:34:28You're not that girl again.
00:34:36Wait. Can you remind me one more time?
00:34:39Okay. Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:41Yeah.
00:34:43Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:45And knight...
00:34:46The knight's the weird one.
00:34:52Rooks!
00:34:54Straight lines.
00:34:56Bishops.
00:34:58Diagonally.
00:35:00Hello?

00:35:23I...
00:35:24I... I'm okay. I...
00:35:26I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:27I... I didn't see the message.
00:35:29Serena took my phone. I... I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:33I'm... okay.
00:35:35You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:37You're freezing.
00:35:38You didn't have to come.

00:49:46Tal's!
00:50:13You're the sponsor!
00:50:14You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
00:50:19So?
00:50:20You lied to everyone, including her!
00:50:23I protected her.
00:50:27You loved her.
00:50:29Still do.
00:50:31Let it go, Serena.
00:50:34There's no point.
00:50:44I need a favour.
00:50:46Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:50:49And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:50:55Anything?
00:50:57No?
00:50:58She's not answering.
00:51:00The interview's almost over.
00:51:01Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:03Something's wrong.
00:51:04Where's Alice?
00:51:08When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:09Last night.
00:51:10She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:16James, track someone for me.
00:51:20Wait, where are you going?
00:51:21Chill, okay?
00:51:30It won't hurt you.
00:51:32Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:34That's it.
00:51:43Shex, come back!
00:51:44I remember how we met.
00:52:14Hey, hey, hey, Alice.
00:52:23Alice?
00:52:25Alice, hey, hey, stay with me.
00:52:26Stay with me.
00:52:26Stay with me, Alice.
00:52:27Alice!
00:52:34You're awake?
00:52:36Where...
00:52:37Where am I?
00:52:38A local clinic.
00:52:40Passer-by brought you in.
00:52:42Passer-by?
00:52:43He found you on the side of the road.
00:52:46He had to leave.
00:52:46He didn't leave a name.
00:52:49Oh.
00:52:51The interview!
00:52:52What time is it?
00:52:53Easy.
00:52:54It's okay.
00:52:55Someone already contacted the university.
00:52:58And sent in your writing samples.
00:52:59They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:01Wait, what?
00:53:02Who?
00:53:02No idea.
00:53:04But it's all taken care of.
00:53:08What did you say?
00:53:10Nothing.
00:53:11I just...
00:53:12had a dream.
00:53:14I got him!
00:53:25I got him!
00:53:29Oh, I knew it!
00:53:31Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:34He's not here.
00:53:36Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:39Know what?
00:53:39He left.
00:53:42A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:53:45Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:53:47It's probably for the best.
00:53:49Come on.
00:53:55Alice!
00:53:55The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:54:03Chaotic.
00:54:05Unexpected.
00:54:08And with his absence...
00:54:10Come on!
00:54:11It ended quietly.
00:54:15Like summers always do.
00:54:17And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:54:36Thank you for having me.
00:54:37Now, your words moved millions.
00:54:40They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:54:45Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:54:48How's your dating life like these days?
00:54:50No comment.
00:54:52A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even
00:54:57a single date.
00:54:58Let me guess a bird named Sherry.
00:54:59She caught me.
00:55:01Still no comment.
00:55:02All right, all right.
00:55:03No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:09If you're so real...
00:55:10Because once, I did.
00:55:11That's why today we're here, Sherry.
00:55:12You're sharing a story behind Alice Keaton's...
00:55:16And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:55:18And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:55:33Congratulations, Alice.
00:55:34The numbers just came in.
00:55:35You broke your own record.
00:55:39That's...
00:55:39Incredible.
00:55:40We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:55:44Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:55:48I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:55:52My sponsor.
00:55:54You're sure?
00:55:55Yeah.
00:55:56Just once.
00:55:58Tonight, 7pm.
00:55:59Good evening.
00:56:15Good evening.
00:56:18May I sit?
00:56:19Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:28Hi.
00:56:30Hi.
00:56:32You look well.
00:56:36And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:39You always did.
00:56:42You were expecting someone else.
00:56:43I was hoping.
00:56:48But I guess I always knew.
00:56:51I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:56:53Or to reopen anything.
00:56:56I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:00Oh.
00:57:04Didn't know you're still reading.
00:57:06You're rich enough not to do so.
00:57:09Always.
00:57:10Either way, your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:57:15No.
00:57:16No, you've...
00:57:17You earned everything.
00:57:21Every word.
00:57:23Every page.
00:57:25Every reader.
00:57:27That's what I came to say.
00:57:32It was good to see you again.
00:57:34I hope.
00:57:35Charles.
00:57:37Can you just...
00:57:38Wait a little longer.
00:57:47I think I knew it was you.
00:57:50There was one email.
00:57:53You said something.
00:57:54It felt familiar.
00:57:56Really?
00:57:57Kind of had that...
00:57:58Rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:01Very on brand.
00:58:02I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:58:04Too late.
00:58:05Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:58:07Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:11Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:58:17You've changed.
00:58:19But...
00:58:19Not really.
00:58:23You haven't changed.
00:58:25But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:28You haven't changed.
00:58:30You haven't changed.
00:58:31You haven't changed.
00:58:32Anyway...
00:58:33I wanted to say...
00:58:37And...
00:58:37Thanks for being here tonight.
00:58:40You didn't have to come.
00:58:42Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:58:46You didn't have to come.
00:58:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:58:51If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
00:59:16I think you don't have to do anything...
00:59:16I know what I have to do with you.
00:59:18I know what I have to do with you.
00:59:22No.
00:59:26No.
00:59:31I see.
00:59:35I know my answering now.
00:59:36I didn't have the power back then, not enough to protect you.
00:59:41I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me, because of my name, my family.
00:59:49I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
00:59:52So you just disappeared without a word?
00:59:58If you had the chance to see the world without me weighing you down, if you still chose me
01:00:03after that...
01:00:08You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice, but you made a choice for me.
01:00:15Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:27I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:00:30You weren't, but I never claimed to be that smart.
01:00:44This is me.
01:00:45Right.
01:00:53I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:00:55I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:01:07Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:11You're asking your ex, who you haven't seen in four years, to come into your hotel at approximately
01:01:1811pm.
01:01:19You were right.
01:01:21You never were that smart.
01:01:23You don't have to come.
01:01:25Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:01:30Stop quoting yourself.
01:01:43I recycle.
01:01:44It saves energy.
01:01:46This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:01:48You sound like a disclaimer.
01:01:49You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:01:52I said that.
01:01:53Yeah.
01:01:54Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:01:56Still is.
01:01:57You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:04That is cute to me.
01:02:05Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:02:07I wasn't going to.
01:02:08I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:02:10Then shut up and prove it.
01:02:15I still can't believe this is happening.
01:02:21I told you.
01:02:22They're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:24And I told you.
01:02:25They're both.
01:02:26I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:02:55Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:02:58Then I lie.
01:02:59Respectfully.
01:03:00I vow to keep choosing you.
01:03:02Loudly.
01:03:03Quietly.
01:03:04Always.
01:03:05Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:08Is he actually good at this?
01:03:09I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm.
01:03:14I vow to argue with you at least twice when we eat.
01:03:24Especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:25I vow to write you in your every story.
01:03:27Even when I say I didn't.
01:03:28You will always be part of my life.
01:03:31If she quotes Austen in this toast.
01:03:33I'm out.
01:03:34No you're not.
01:03:35You're going to cry harder.
01:03:36Paris gonna lie.
01:03:37I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:03:38Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:03:39I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:03:40such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:03:41Guard your phone.
01:03:42Relax.
01:03:43Just don't dress like I'm walking in here.
01:03:44Relax.
01:03:45Just don't dress like I'm walking in here.
01:03:46I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:03:50I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:03:51Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:03:56Guard your phone.
01:03:57Relax.
01:03:58Just don't dress like I'm walking in here and you'll be fine.
01:04:03You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:04Please Alice, go change.
01:04:05Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:06No.
01:04:07No.
01:04:08No.
01:04:09No.
01:04:10No.
01:04:11No.
01:04:12No.
01:04:13No.
01:04:14No.
01:04:15That is not an invitation.
01:04:16Do not take off these clothes.
01:04:17Overroared.
01:04:18You look much better without them.
01:04:19No.
01:04:20No.
01:04:21No.
01:04:22No.
01:04:23No.
01:04:24No.
01:04:25No.
01:04:26No.
01:04:27No.
01:04:28No.
01:04:29No.
01:04:30No.
01:04:31No.
01:04:32No.
01:04:33No.
01:04:34No.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36No.
01:04:37No.
01:04:39To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:04:53She's very tired.
01:04:58Cut.
01:04:59Cut.
01:05:00What is your fault?
01:05:02I feel like I'm gone by the morning
01:05:05Oopsie!
01:05:10Oopsie!
01:05:11Oopsie!
01:05:12My king!
01:05:16Okay!
01:05:17One day's coming now
01:05:23It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:05:29Help us develop, learn, and grow
