Transcript

00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through metaphors and margins

00:00:11okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong was there the excited she

00:00:20calls this a fresh start I call it terrifying

00:00:30you've got this just for yourself that's kind of the problem

00:01:00okay morning class and you're not seated because I don't have a seat ah a new transfer

00:01:16Alice Keaton right let's see now there's a spot next to Charles

00:01:24seriously a charity case sitting next to Charles God what is she quiet Charles

00:01:33I've always had words for everything but in that moment I forgot them all

00:01:44move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what sleeping from

00:02:02everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you she

00:02:06was top of her class at a previous school with all due respect sir her previous

00:02:12school was American I highly doubt that that's enough she can sit here it's fine

00:02:23back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very

00:02:29important that we look at what he's talking about their experience of the time

00:02:35wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it don't take

00:02:45it personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants what he's

00:02:51hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking I don't find bullies

00:03:01attractive hey be careful you're talking about the king of Ashford the what his

00:03:07family basically own the school and the town maybe even the country yeah everyone's

00:03:13tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get nice

00:03:17okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think

00:03:24he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just

00:03:30seems isolated like he's making out honestly I just think he's lonely and kind of what no go on

00:03:47you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic next time read the room before opening your mouth American

00:04:00we're not in Kansas anymore Alice

00:07:04just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails

00:08:48yeah

00:08:49and I'm not a fan of sharing

00:08:52says the guy who forced me to live in his house

00:08:56unbelievable

00:09:01ashford institute please

00:09:12thank you

00:09:13who needs that entitled brat anyway

00:09:19sir you called the cab

00:09:21why not just give miss Keaton a lift

00:09:26and have the whole school go crazy

00:09:31she's new everybody's already talking

00:09:33so you're worried about her

00:09:35you're overthinking I just don't like drama

00:09:39asshole

00:09:43hey

00:09:48morning class

00:09:51back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies

00:09:58he's

00:10:00he's

00:10:01Mr Kenwood

00:10:02care to share what you found so amusing

00:10:04not particularly

00:10:06oh

00:10:07I insist

00:10:08you seem very entertained by Golding

00:10:10I'm not entertained by Golding sir

00:10:13but

00:10:14on the contrary

00:10:15I think his ending is

00:10:18weak

00:10:19wait wait

00:10:21you've actually read it

00:10:22quiet

00:10:23that's an interesting take

00:10:26explain

00:10:27he had to set up for something brutal

00:10:32something honest

00:10:33but in the end

00:10:34he backed out

00:10:35he could have left the boys on the island

00:10:37forced them to confront the collapse of all morality

00:10:40let them choose survival

00:10:41or death

00:10:43but instead

00:10:44he gave them a rescue boat

00:10:46slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery

00:10:50it's a waste

00:10:54don't you think?

00:10:55I'm delightfully surprised Charles

00:10:57didn'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

00:11:06so

00:11:07a critique of Golding's mercy

00:11:09anyone disagree?

00:11:20I 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?

00:11:35the 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 Keeter

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

00:11:56Golding 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

00:12:04I 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

00:12:14well said

00:12:16anyone else?

00:12:16both opinions are valid

00:12:20okay

00:12:21that's kind of epic

00:12:22and let's not forget

00:12:23Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book

00:12:27good literature will always divide opinion

00:12:30what's happening to me?

00:12:39okay what is going on?

00:12:40why is everyone staring at me?

00:12:42well you're new

00:12:43and apparently had a thing with Charles

00:12:46a what now?

00:12:47you two are in the middle of the most epic feud

00:12:50as your teen in years

00:12:51we're not even fighting

00:12:53well according to everyone

00:12:54you confessed your love on day one

00:12:56got rejected

00:12:57begged to sit next to him

00:12:59got rejected again

00:13:00and today in class

00:13:02you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings

00:13:05and stormed out in tears

00:13:08you were there Sherry

00:13:10that is not what happened

00:13:12doesn't matter

00:13:13people believe what they want to believe

00:13:16and they want Charles to be flawless

00:13:18untouchable

00:13:19wow

00:16:19What... what are you doing here?

00:16:23Can you get off me first?

00:16:35You'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!

00:16:49You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.

00:16:53I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.

00:16:58I hope you pull your shoulder.

00:17:05Are you okay?

00:17:06No, but 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.

00:17:17I'm...

00:17:19I'm...

00:17:20I'm...

00:17:21I'm sorry.

00:17:27I'm sorry.

00:17:33Did you just...

00:17:34apologize to me.

00:17:35Apologize 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, I just...

00:17:52Took a weird shower.

00:17:53Tap exploded.

00:17:56Come on.

00:17:57Let's get you home.

00:18:08Alice Keaton, right?

00:18:11I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.

00:18:13I know how this place works.

00:18:38If 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.

00:18:57That's insane.

00:18:58Why?

00:18:59Where the hell was the school when this was happening?

00:19:01They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.

00:19:04Well, for what it's worth,

00:19:06I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.

00:19:10Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.

00:19:29Being a scholarship student has its perks.

00:19:32Like saving a fortune on tuition

00:19:34and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.

00:19:39Hey!

00:19:40We miss you in Paris!

00:19:42Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.

00:19:44But sometimes,

00:19:46being here means standing behind

00:19:48and watching Ashford elites

00:19:50go on a two-week enrichment program

00:19:52you can never afford.

00:19:55Have fun.

00:19:56Bring me something overpriced

00:19:59and unnecessary.

00:20:03The trip cost 20 grand in pounds

00:20:05which translates to

00:20:07Mom's salary for half a year.

00:20:09So, yeah.

00:20:10I didn't go.

00:20:11I didn't go.

00:20:12What are you doing here?

00:20:30Do you not believe in shirts?

00:20:31Do you not believe in dignity?

00:20:32It's comfortable.

00:20:33You look like a rejected Ewok.

00:20:34This...

00:20:35This is not even your kitchen.

00:20:36And this is not even your house.

00:20:37And yet, you're here dressed like this.

00:20:39Just don't look.

00:20:40Go away.

00:20:41Hard not to.

00:20:42When you're walking around dressed like that.

00:20:43What do you guys call it?

00:20:44Um...

00:20:45Buzzkill?

00:20:46Cockblock.

00:20:47You're insufferable.

00:20:48You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.

00:20:49You know what?

00:20:50I don't know.

00:20:51What do you guys call it?

00:20:52Um...

00:20:53Buzzkill?

00:20:54Cockblock.

00:20:55You're insufferable.

00:20:56You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.

00:20:58You know what?

00:20:59I don't get it.

00:21:00Why didn't you go on that tour?

00:21:01I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.

00:21:02Why do you think?

00:21:03Where would I go?

00:21:04I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.

00:21:06Florence.

00:21:07Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.

00:21:10Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.

00:21:13Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing

00:21:20city on earth.

00:21:21Next stop.

00:21:22Napoli.

00:21:23Marvel at Pompeii.

00:21:24Pretend you're shocked.

00:21:25Ancient people had plumbing.

00:21:26The final stop.

00:21:27Paris.

00:21:28The ultimate city of romance.

00:21:29And naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.

00:21:47That's word for word.

00:21:50outside of New York that's word for word I told you I've done this tour so many times I could run

00:21:59it okay but still it's Europe most people would kill for that chance most people haven't had

00:22:04their phones stolen in Paris twice also I hate the accommodations aren't they all five-star

00:25:32It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.

00:25:35Okay, miss. Hurricane constant traffic shut down.

00:25:37We'll get to you as soon as we can.

00:25:39Please, he's not well.

00:25:41I understand. Can you confirm your address?

00:25:44Dad, yes, I'm right here.

00:25:47Hi.

00:25:49My daughter.

00:25:50Please stay with me, Dad. Please.

00:25:57No.

00:25:59Please wake up.

00:26:04Dad, please. Please don't leave me.

00:26:14You... what are you doing here?

00:26:16You... what are you doing here?

00:26:44You were crying.

00:26:46Loudly.

00:26:48Kind of hard to ignore.

00:26:51Right.

00:26:52Sorry for the noise.

00:26:54Wait, no snarky comeback?

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?

00:27:06A hurricane hit New York.

00:27:09Power went down, traffic froze.

00:27:12Dad had a stroke.

00:27:14But he couldn't get out in time.

00:27:18I sat there with a candle while he laid there.

00:27:24Peaceful.

00:27:26But he was asleep.

00:27:30But he wasn't.

00:27:34So that's why you and your mum moved here?

00:27:36This used to be our hometown.

00:27:40After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.

00:27:46What are you doing?

00:27:50What are you doing?

00:27:55Come on.

00:27:56Wait.

00:27:57I thought the power was out.

00:27:58It is.

00:27:59We have our own generator.

00:28:02Wow.

00:28:03Rich people houses her.

00:28:04Just for tonight.

00:28:05I'll allow it.

00:28:06Allow what?

00:28:07You can call this place your house.

00:28:08So enjoy it.

00:28:09Stephen King's first edition.

00:28:10Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.

00:28:11Jane Austen's notes.

00:28:12All yours.

00:28:13This is your home.

00:28:14Alice Keaton.

00:28:15Alice Keaton.

00:28:17This is your home.

00:28:18Alice Keaton.

00:28:25This is your home.

00:28:40is your home, Alice Keaton.

00:28:48Careful.

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?

00:29:03Are you ever going to make a move?

00:29:10Wait.

00:29:11Give me a second, I'm thinking.

00:29:13You had one wish.

00:29:15Anything in the world.

00:29:17And in the middle of a thunderstorm,

00:29:19inside a literal mansion,

00:29:21you chose chess.

00:29:23Yeah, got a problem?

00:29:25It's just so cool, like,

00:29:27spies or genius villains in movies.

00:29:29It's literally a board game.

00:29:31Says the guy who owns a custom set.

00:29:34Wait, does the knight go diagonally?

00:29:37For the tenth time,

00:29:38it moves in an L shape.

00:29:41One,

00:29:42two,

00:29:43then turn.

00:29:45There.

00:29:46Happy?

00:29:47Ecstatic.

00:29:51You know, that's suicide.

00:29:53Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.

00:29:55You are playing checkers at a chess board.

00:29:57Still beating you in sarcasm.

00:29:58You literally haven't won any past arguments.

00:30:00Golding disagrees.

00:30:02It's going to be a long night.

00:30:04Oh my-

00:30:05No.

00:30:06Why? What's wrong with that?

00:30:07You can't do that.

00:30:08No, no, no.

00:30:09Oh my god.

00:30:10I know.

00:30:11You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.

00:30:14Tied to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.

00:30:17Now you're sour cause I'm moving on.

00:30:20Oh you're showing up at my door.

00:30:25Holding your heart there inside your hands.

00:30:29Maybe...

00:30:30Maybe...

00:30:31He's not so awful after all.

00:30:40Um...

00:30:41Who are you?

00:30:42What are you doing here?

00:30:47Well your parents said you were still at home.

00:30:50Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.

00:30:52Who needs Italy and France again?

00:30:54Right?

00:30:55When did you get back?

00:30:56Last night.

00:30:57From Zurich.

00:30:58You didn't answer my messages.

00:31:02I missed you.

00:31:03Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.

00:31:05Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.

00:31:08Your parents were so thrilled.

00:31:10They 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.

00:31:16You know, considering the engagement and all.

00:31:20Engagement.

00:31:22Oh.

00:31:23Did 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.

00:31:32Where did you find this little toy?

00:31:36Serena.

00:31:37I can hear you, you know.

00:31:38Oh.

00:31:39An American.

00:31:41How refreshing.

00:31:47Goodbye.

00:31:48Wait.

00:32:02Where are you going?

00:32:03You still owe me breakfast.

00:32:04You only paid for dinner.

00:32:05I have homework.

00:32:06Goodbye.

00:32:07Your little toy has quite the tempo.

00:32:08Serena.

00:32:09Can you please just stop?

00:32:10What?

00:32:11Teasing the help?

00:32:12That's her.

00:32:13That's the one from Kenwood's house.

00:32:14Was she like, the maid or something?

00:32:15No.

00:32:16No.

00:32:17No.

00:32:18No.

00:32:19No.

00:32:20No.

00:32:21No.

00:32:22No.

00:32:23No.

00:32:24No.

00:32:25No.

00:32:30No.

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?

00:32:37Oh my god, what's wrong with people?

00:32:50They're saying you live with Charles.

00:32:52Oh, and Serena.

00:32:54What about her?

00:32:55Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.

00:32:59Of course she did.

00:33:07Careful, Alice.

00:33:13You're starting to look desperate.

00:33:26Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:33:27Yeah, I know.

00:33:28Come to the music room.

00:33:31Urgent.

00:33:32I just remembered I need to check something.

00:33:35You guys go ahead.

00:33:36Yeah, okay.

00:33:37Help!

00:33:44Is someone there?

00:33:45Seriously!

00:33:47This is getting old!

00:33:59Wait.

00:34:01Music room, what?

00:34:04James?

00:34:05Is there anybody in here earlier?

00:34:07Just Miss Serena.

00:34:08Said she was waiting for you.

00:34:11Sir?

00:34:11Sir, it's raining!

00:34:14Come on, Alice, you're fine.

00:34:26You're not that girl again.

00:34:29Wait, can you remind me one more time?

00:34:38Okay.

00:34:39Rooks move in straight lines.

00:34:42Yeah.

00:34:43Bishops move diagonally.

00:34:45And knights...

00:34:45The knight's the weird one.

00:34:46Rooks.

00:34:48Rooks.

00:34:52Straight lines.

00:34:55Dishes.

00:34:56And diagonally.

00:34:59Hello?

00:35:00Hello?

00:35:01Hello?

00:35:02The text.

00:35:20Are you okay?

00:35:22Are you hurt?

00:35:23I'm okay.

00:35:25I saw the text and I thought...

00:35:27I didn't see the message.

00:35:30Serena took my phone.

00:35:31I didn't know.

00:35:32I'm sorry.

00:35:32I'm okay.

00:35:35You're gonna catch a cold.

00:35:37You're freezing.

00:35:37You didn't have to come.

00:35:41Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:35:43Give me hope that feels like hope...

00:35:50That wasn't a mistake.

00:36:07If that's what you're about to say.

00:36:11I...

00:36:11wasn't going to.

00:36:13I'm really bad at this, you know.

00:36:27What?

00:36:28Kissing?

00:36:28Hiding feelings.

00:36:30I...

00:36:31Dump those Ewok pyjamas.

00:36:49Dump those Ewok pyjamas.

00:36:54Oh, you wish.

00:36:57Seriously.

00:36:58It's a cock block.

00:37:00You kissed me.

00:37:02That's basically consent to everything.

00:37:11Dangerous words, Keaton.

00:37:12I might hold you to that.

00:37:23You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.

00:37:25The list is on the board.

00:37:30One, two, three, four.

00:37:35Are you okay?

00:37:36Fly me to outer space.

00:37:40That's where I'll see your face.

00:37:45And have you with me.

00:37:47You're distracting.

00:37:57You're distracting.

00:38:04You're welcome.

00:38:09They're either enemies or secretly married.

00:38:12Honestly, both.

00:38:14I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.

00:38:22No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.

00:38:24They all just let me down.

00:38:25So, the night goes in an L shape, right?

00:38:39Why is that the only one you remember?

00:38:41Because it's weird.

00:38:43And I like weird.

00:38:52Check.

00:38:55You're cheating.

00:39:00I'm winning.

00:39:01There's a difference.

00:39:02You are very distracting.

00:39:05And you like it.

00:39:06I will be there for you, babe.

00:39:10I'll be there in the darkest days.

00:39:15I'll hold you in my arms.

00:39:16Charles.

00:39:18We need to talk.

00:39:25I expected poor judgment.

00:39:29But this in my house?

00:39:31It isn't what it looks like.

00:39:32No.

00:39:34Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.

00:39:37Enlighten me then, Charles.

00:39:38We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.

00:39:42Imagine our surprise walking in on this.

00:39:45She isn't just...

00:39:46You have no right to barge in.

00:39:49On my property.

00:39:50I care about her.

00:39:55I'm not ashamed of that.

00:39:56That's enough.

00:39:59Why do you care?

00:40:01We're protecting our son's future.

00:40:04And our name.

00:40:06You think this protects me?

00:40:07We think she does not belong in your world.

00:40:11Then maybe I don't either.

00:40:17You're ready to give up everything.

00:40:19For a girl you barely know.

00:40:24Yes.

00:40:25Then...

00:40:26Are you sure...

00:40:28She's ready?

00:40:34I'm asking you.

00:40:36Do you think she's ready?

00:40:37To lose everything regardless of how little that is.

00:40:41Just to be with you.

00:40:42What are you talking about?

00:40:44You left us no choice, son.

00:40:45You shouldn't disobey your father.

00:40:50Pelton.

00:40:51It's Frederick Kenwood.

00:40:53Ah.

00:40:54Mr. Kenwood.

00:40:54How can I help?

00:40:55If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code

00:41:00in a public setting with photographic evidence,

00:41:03would that warrant a review?

00:41:05Yes, sir.

00:41:09So.

00:41:09Answer me again.

00:41:12Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?

00:41:26Charles.

00:41:27What happened?

00:41:28Did your parents say something?

00:41:29Are they mad?

00:41:29Is everything okay?

00:41:32Pack your things.

00:41:32You can't stay here anymore.

00:41:36What?

00:41:38My parents fired your mother.

00:41:40She's leaving.

00:41:42So are you.

00:41:42Wait, what?

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.

00:41:47Stop it.

00:41:48You don't get it.

00:41:50If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.

00:41:53Okay?

00:41:54No card.

00:41:55No trust.

00:41:56No support.

00:41:58Nothing.

00:41:59Then.

00:42:00Then we'll figure it out.

00:42:02We don't need all that.

00:42:03We can...

00:42:03Do you really think I'm going to live like that?

00:42:09So that's what this was?

00:42:11Just fun until it got inconvenient.

00:42:15What did they promise you?

00:42:19Nothing.

00:42:20They just reminded me of what's real.

00:42:29Charles, I'm not stupid.

00:42:31You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.

00:42:34What did they threaten you with?

00:42:41What did they threaten you with?

00:42:43This is the difference between me and you.

00:42:45What?

00:42:46You think you know me.

00:42:48Or what I have.

00:42:49You don't, Alice.

00:42:52You're still lying.

00:42:53I'm not, Alice.

00:42:54Look around you.

00:42:56This mansion you thought was a museum.

00:42:59It's my house.

00:43:01My world.

00:43:03I was bored into this.

00:43:04I am not choosing between this

00:43:06and something I picked up for a moment of fun.

00:43:15Don't do this, Charles.

00:43:16You don't mean it.

00:43:18Look, it was fun.

00:43:19But you?

00:43:20You don't compare to what I own.

00:43:25I'll survive the loss.

00:43:29Right.

00:43:32I should have known.

00:43:35Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.

00:43:39You play with them, then you throw them away.

00:43:42Go to sleep, Alice.

00:43:43Go to sleep, Alice.

00:43:45Go to sleep, Alice.

00:43:45This fall is a little more than I expected.

00:44:00In so deep I can barely see myself.

00:44:06You're around me.

00:44:15You're around me.

00:44:15But I find that's the place to test myself.

00:44:18Oops.

00:44:27Oops.

00:44:44Oh, sorry.

00:44:46Didn't see you there.

00:44:47Then again, nobody does.

00:44:49Move, please.

00:44:52Try begging.

00:44:58You know what? Keep it.

00:45:05Poor thing.

00:45:06So dramatic.

00:45:09Don't.

00:45:10Excuse me?

00:45:11I warned you.

00:45:13Walk away, Serena.

00:45:14Come on.

00:45:18Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.

00:45:38But one pair surprised me, in a good way.

00:45:42Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.

00:45:45Would you mind giving us her short summary?

00:45:47She loves the sound of her own voice.

00:45:50Better have it.

00:45:50I couldn't stay.

00:45:51I couldn't wait.

00:45:53I thought that you should know that I would have.

00:45:57Can hang around with me.

00:45:58Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.

00:46:03Like logic and chaos.

00:46:05Or silence and noise.

00:46:07Different worlds.

00:46:09Different rules.

00:46:09At first glance, they clash.

00:46:14But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.

00:46:18Confusion.

00:46:19Curiosity.

00:46:20But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.

00:46:24And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.

00:46:26And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.

00:46:40Is she still talking about the essay?

00:46:44Miss Keaton?

00:46:47Dramatic as always.

00:46:49Alright.

00:46:50Thank you, Alice.

00:46:51That was...

00:46:52layered.

00:46:53Are you okay?

00:46:55A reminder.

00:46:57That good literature.

00:46:58Always stirs something.

00:47:02Hello?

00:47:03Hi, this is Alice Keaton.

00:47:05This is Whitmore Press.

00:47:06We've been following your work.

00:47:07We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.

00:47:10Name your price.

00:47:10We'll make it work.

00:47:12Sorry, what?

00:47:16That's...

00:47:17kind of...

00:47:18insane.

00:47:19Who's behind this?

00:47:20Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.

00:47:23Can...

00:47:24Can I meet them?

00:47:27I want to.

00:47:29Please.

00:47:30Or at least tell me a name.

00:47:35Sorry, they wish to stay in office.

00:47:37So their only interest in words, not the person.

00:47:39I'd really like to meet them.

00:47:40I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.

00:47:41They were very good.

00:47:42I think the most generous offer we've ever given a new year.

00:47:44I see.

00:47:46Congratulations again.

00:47:48Have you got the interview?

00:47:53It's just an interview.

00:47:54I haven't gotten it yet.

00:47:56Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.

00:47:58That's iconic.

00:48:00For your love, I'll be a good one.

00:48:03I'll be a good one.

00:48:03You okay?

00:48:08Yeah.

00:48:10I'm so excited.

00:48:25It's done, Mr. Kenwood.

00:48:27Miss Keaton signed the contract.

00:48:30Good.

00:48:31It's a generous deal.

00:48:32You sure you don't want it to know?

00:48:33No.

00:48:37No, it's better if I stay out of her life.

00:48:48Congratulations, Alice Keaton.

00:48:51Go live the life you were always meant to.

00:48:58Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.

00:49:02And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.

00:49:08It's all coming together beautifully.

00:49:14I've lost my appetite.

00:49:18I'll go check on him.

00:49:24What's your problem, Charles?

00:49:26Disengagement is not happening.

00:49:33It's not up to you.

00:49:33You know that.

00:49:34Serena, we're not doing this.

00:49:38You've changed.

00:49:42Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.

00:49:44Charles!

00:50:02You'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.

00:50:56Anything?

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.

00:51:06Where'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.

00:51:14James, track someone for me.

00:51:20Wait, where are you going?

00:51:28Chill, okay?

00:51:30We won't hurt you.

00:51:32Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.

00:51:34That's it.

00:51:35Shit!

00:51:44Come back!

00:51:44I remember how men...

00:51:50I remember how men...

00:51:53Hey, hey, hey, Alex.

00:52:23Alex, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alex.

00:52:27Alex.

00:52:34You're awake.

00:52:36Where, where am I?

00:52:38A local clinic.

00:52:40Passerby brought you in.

00:52:42Passerby?

00:52:43He found you on the side of the road.

00:52:46He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.

00:52:49Oh.

00:52:51The interview, what time is it?

00:52:53Easy.

00:52:54It's okay.

00:52:55Someone already contacted the university.

00:52:58Anne sent in your writing samples.

00:52:59They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.

00:53:01Wait, what, who?

00:53:03No idea, but 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!

00:53:26Oh, I knew it!

00:53:30Oh, too 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?

00:53:40He left.

00:53:42A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.

00:53:45Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him.

00:53:48It's probably for the best.

00:53:49Come on.

00:53:49I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait.

00:53:54I thought that you should know what I had.

00:53:57I'm hanging around.

00:53:59The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.

00:54:03Chaotic.

00:54:05Unexpected.

00:54:08And with his absence...

00:54:09Come on!

00:54:11It ended quietly.

00:54:13And joining us today,

00:54:31the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.

00:54:36Thank you for having me.

00:54:37No, your words moved millions.

00:54:40They say your stories feel real.

00:54:43Especially the ones about love.

00:54:46Which 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

00:54:54has been just writing and working,

00:54:57not even a 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,

00:55:05you write love like someone who's lived it.

00:55:09If you're so real...

00:55:10Because once, I did.

00:55:12That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's...

00:55:16And no one ever quite matched the light after that.

00:55:19And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.

00:55:22Congratulations, Alice.

00:55:34The numbers just came in.

00:55:36You 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.

00:55:47I'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.

00:56:11Good evening.

00:56:14Good evening.

00:56:18May I sit?

00:56:19Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.

00:56:28Hi.

00:56:30Hi.

00:56:33You 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, but I guess I always knew.

00:56:51I didn't come here to confuse you, or to reopen anything.

00:56:56I just wanted to say congratulations.

00:57:00Oh.

00:57:04I didn't know you were still reading.

00:57:06You were 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.

00:57:33It was good to see you again, I 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.

00:58:28Anyway...

00:58:30I 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.

00:58:44I do.

00:58:46You didn't have to come.

00:58:48Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:58:51Don'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?

00:59:16No.

00:59:22No.

00:59:26No.

00:59:31I see.

00:59:32I know my answer now.

00:59:36I didn't have the power back then.

00:59:39Not enough to protect you.

00:59:41I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.

00:59:44Because of my name.

00:59:46My family.

00:59:49I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.

00:59:52So you just disappeared.

00:59:53Without a word.

00:59:54If you had the chance to see the world, without me weighing you down, if you still chose me after that...

01:00:05You 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?

01:00:24I didn't think I was the smart choice.

01:00:29You weren't.

01:00:32But I never claimed to be that smart.

01:00:43This is me.

01:00:45Right.

01:00:45I'm still mad at you, you know.

01:00:57I'm still in love with you, you know.

01:01:06Do you want to come in for a bit?

01:01:08You're asking your ex, who you haven't seen in four years, to come into your hotel at approximately 11 p.m.

01:01:20You were right.

01:01:22You never were that smart.

01:01:24You don't have to come.

01:01:25Don't tell me what I have to do.

01:01:27Stop quoting yourself.

01:01:43I recycle.

01:01:44It saves energy.

01:01:46This feels wildly irresponsible.

01:01:48You sound like a disclaimer.

01:01:50You're the one who once called romance a distraction.

01:01:52I said that?

01:01:53Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.

01:01:57Still is.

01:01:58You'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.

01:02:11Then shut up.

01:02:13And prove it.

01:02:14I still can't believe this is happening.

01:02:21I told you that you're the worst enemies or secretly married.

01:02:25And I told you they're both.

01:02:26I vow to always tell you the truth.

01:02:55Except for when you ask how your cooking was.

01:02:59Then I lie.

01:03:01Respectfully.

01:03:03I vow to keep choosing you.

01:03:06Loudly.

01:03:07Quietly.

01:03:09Always.

01:03:11Even when you forget to do the laundry.

01:03:15Is he actually good at this?

01:03:17I mean, he did beat her at soccer though.

01:03:19I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.

01:03:25Especially over Shakespeare.

01:03:28I vow to write you and your every story.

01:03:31Even when I say I didn't.

01:03:33You will always be a part of my life.

01:03:36If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.

01:03:38No you're not.

01:03:39You're going to cry harder.

01:03:40No you're not.

01:03:40You're going to cry harder.

01:03:40I can't believe you picked Paris.

01:04:04It's such a cliche honeymoon destination.

01:04:09Guard your phone.

01:04:10Relax.

01:04:11Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.

01:04:16You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.

01:04:20Please, Alice, go change.

01:04:23Don't tell me what I have to do.

01:04:24No, no, no, no, no, that is not an invitation to, do not take off these clothes.

01:04:34I'm overruled.

01:04:35You look much better without them.

01:04:42To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.

01:04:54Good morning, Alice.

01:04:55Be on my own, but I don't wanna die alone.

01:04:58Oh, come on.

01:04:59Oh, come on.

01:05:00I swear to you.

01:05:01I swear to you.

01:05:10Oopsie.

01:05:11Cut.

01:05:12My king.

01:05:15I can't.

01:05:16I can't.

01:05:17You can't.

01:05:17It's coming now.

01:05:22What the fuck?

01:05:23It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these

01:05:28books. Help us develop, learn and grow.
