00:02:03if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you
00:02:07she was top of her class at a previous school
00:02:11with all due respect sir
00:02:12her previous school was American
00:02:16I highly doubt that
00:02:19that's enough
00:02:21she can sit here it's fine
00:02:23back to Golding
00:02:27thank you
00:02:27you got it
00:02:29I'm Sherry Vaughn
00:02:29Alice Keaton
00:02:30it's very important that we look at
00:02:32what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:40wait you sat next to Charles
00:02:43she didn't
00:02:43you totally shut her down
00:02:45oh knew it
00:02:46don't take it past me he's impossible
00:02:49can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants
00:02:52what?
00:02:53he's hot
00:02:54everyone kind of is
00:02:57I've seen Connor
00:02:59he's not my type
00:03:00you're joking
00:03:01I don't find bullies attractive
00:03:03hey be careful
00:03:04you're talking about the king of Ashford
00:03:07the what?
00:03:08his family basically own the school
00:03:11and the town
00:03:12maybe even the country
00:03:13yeah everyone's tried to get close
00:03:15no one can get past his ego
00:03:17you're not the first to get iced
00:03:19okay first of all I wasn't iced
00:03:21it's more like a mutual decision
00:03:24and second I think he's arrogant
00:03:27cold thinks he's untouchable
00:03:29but if you really look at Charles
00:03:31he just seems isolated
00:03:33like he's faking out
00:03:34honestly I just think he's lonely
00:03:36and kind of pathetic

00:08:34relax
00:08:35i forgot my textbook don't flatter yourself
00:08:39wait
00:08:42since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride
00:08:50no
00:08:50no
00:08:50seriously
00:08:52your car is huge
00:08:55yeah
00:08:57and i'm not a fan of sharing
00:08:59says the guy who forced me to live in this house
00:09:02is
00:09:06unbelievable
00:09:14so
00:09:16asher institute please
00:09:18Thank you
00:09:22Who needs an entitled brat anyway, sir, you called the cab why don't just give miss Keaton lift
00:09:35Why don't just give miss Keaton lift and have the whole school go crazy
00:09:39She's new
00:09:41Everybody's already talking so you're worried about her
00:09:44You're overthinking. I
00:09:46Just don't like drama
00:09:54Asshole
00:09:57Morning class
00:09:59Back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:08Mr. Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh
00:10:13I insist you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:18I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary. I think his ending is
00:10:25weak
00:10:27Wait wait, you actually read it quiet
00:10:31That's an interesting take explain
00:10:33He had to set up for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out
00:10:42He could have left the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of all morality
00:10:46Let them choose survival
00:10:48Or death
00:10:50But instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:56It's a waste
00:11:01Don't you think i'm delightfully surprised charles didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:07I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:10So a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:17I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:36It's not mercy it's irony
00:11:39How so?
00:11:40The rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:48Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:52That's an interesting take miss Keaton
00:11:55You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:57In some ways but not harsh enough
00:12:01Yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize with them
00:12:07And the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:11So yeah i don't think Golding pushed far enough but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:20Thank you miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:12:27Both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic
00:12:30Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:34Good literature will always divide opinion
00:12:40What's happening to me?
00:12:49Okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:01Well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:04A what now?
00:13:06You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years
00:13:10We're not even fighting
00:13:11Well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected begged to sit next to him got rejected again
00:13:19And today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears
00:13:27You were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:29It doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:13:38Wow
00:13:39Is massage any like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty?
00:13:42Honestly both but seriously alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:56Okay loaded
00:13:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:14:02Hello?
00:14:19Hello?
00:14:21Is somebody out there?
00:14:23Oh come on!
00:14:24Come on!
00:14:38Fine
00:14:39Seriously?
00:14:56Oh shit
00:15:02What the hell?
00:15:03Ann?
00:15:06I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:07She hasn't come home
00:15:08Her phone is off
00:15:10Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:14Yikes
00:15:15Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:15:23Shit
00:15:24Alice!
00:15:30Alice!
00:15:31Alice!
00:15:31Mr. Pelton!
00:15:32Charles 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
00:15:40Check the common room in the library
00:15:41I'll take the rest
00:15:45Alice!
00:15:46Come on Alice
00:16:01Close your eyes and jump
00:16:04It's fine
00:16:06You're fine
00:16:16I'll have it sent over
00:16:30Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:35Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:40What are you doing here?
00:16:42Can you get off me first?
00:16:56You're welcome
00:16:58I didn't say thank you
00:17:00I 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
00:17:10Wow
00:17:10You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it
00:17:15I wouldn't recommend it
00:17:16You're heavier than you look
00:17:19I hope you pull your shoulder
00:17:27Are you okay?
00:17:27No
00:17:29But I will be
00:17:31Someone did this on purpose
00:17:33What do you think golden boy?
00:17:36Don't worry I can handle it
00:17:37You shouldn't have to
00:17:41I'm
00:17:41I'm
00:17:43Sorry
00:17:50Sorry
00:17:56Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:58Don't get used to it
00:17:59I wouldn't dream of it
00:18:03Alice?
00:18:04Over here
00:18:05Oh my god
00:18:08You okay?
00:18:11Why are you drenched?
00:18:13Yeah, I just took a weird shower, tap exploded
00:18:19Come on, let's get you home
00:18:20Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:33I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:36I know how this place works
00:18:49If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse
00:18:53I'll look into it
00:19:07Charles, good on you
00:19:12How many here would speak up?
00:19:14I can't believe someone actually locked you in
00:19:20That's insane
00:19:22Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:24Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds
00:19:27Well, for what it's worth
00:19:29I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night
00:19:33Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:19:35Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:19:55Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:19:58And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:01Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:06Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:08But sometimes, being here means staying behind
00:20:12And watching Asford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford
00:20:19Have fun
00:20:20Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:20:27The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:20:30Which translates to, Mom's salary for half a year
00:20:33So yeah, I didn't go
00:20:36Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:00Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:02It'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
00:21:09And yet you're here, dressed like this
00:21:12Just don't look, go away
00:21:14Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that
00:21:17What do you guys call it?
00:21:20Buzzkill? Cockblock
00:21:23You're insufferable
00:21:24You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:21:26You know what? I don't get it
00:21:28Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:29I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing
00:21:31Why do you think?
00:21:35Where would I go?
00:21:40I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:21:44Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo,
00:21:48Da Vinci and Titian
00:21:49Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious
00:21:53Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal
00:21:56And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:21:59Next stop, Napoli
00:22:01Marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked
00:22:04Ancient people had plumbing
00:22:05The final stop
00:22:07Harry, the ultimate city of romance
00:22:11And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York
00:22:18That's word for word
00:22:21I told you, I've done this tour so many times I could run it
00:22:24Okay, but still, it's Europe
00:22:26Most people would kill for that chance
00:22:28Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:22:31Twice
00:22:33Also, I hate the accommodations
00:22:35Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:37Standard rooms in five-star hotels
00:22:40No, thank you
00:22:42Wow
00:22:43Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:44That's unfortunate
00:22:45It's a very chaotic city
00:22:47One word of advice?
00:22:48Shut up
00:22:49That's two words
00:22:50You're weird
00:22:52You're loud
00:22:54You're annoying
00:22:54You're in my kitchen
00:22:55You have three other kitchens
00:22:57And I prefer this one
00:22:59Just for today
00:23:00Come back when you've got a shirt on
00:23:02Come back when normal clothes on
00:23:03You didn't have to come
00:23:04Don't tell me what I have to do
00:23:15Master Charles, roads are flooded
00:23:17Staff won't make it tonight
00:23:18Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:20I've got it sorted
00:23:36Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:38Relax
00:23:41I'm here to make a deal
00:23:42What deal?
00:23:43You 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?
00:24:09The staff's off tonight
00:24:11I'm buying dinner
00:24:12Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on
00:24:17No, I'm
00:24:18I'm
00:24:19Jesus
00:24:21Wait
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?
00:24:29Dinner's cancelled
00:24:33Are you sure about that?
00:24:36I present to you
00:24:38Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies and french fries
00:24:41You're welcome
00:24:42Interesting combo
00:24:43Well I know we're not in Italy or France but this'll do
00:24:48It's good
00:24:50Was 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
00:25:06Likely born in South America
00:25:08You should read more
00:25:10Put it down
00:25:12I paid for it
00:25:13You really just have to win every argument don't you?
00:25:16To be fair
00:25:17You make it very easy
00:25:20It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds
00:25:23You know if you'd ask for more I probably would have given it to you
00:25:25I'll make sure
00:25:41Hey Alice it's fine
00:25:44You're fine
00:25:46You're fine
00:25:519-1-1 what's with your emergency?

00:27:05What are you doing here?
00:27:13You were crying.
00:27:14Loudly.
00:27:16Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:19Right.
00:27:20Sorry for the night.
00:27:22Wait.
00:27:23You gonna snarky come back?
00:27:25Not tonight.
00:27:26I'm too tired.
00:27:27If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:30You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:34Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:37Power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:40Dad had a stroke.
00:27:42But he couldn't get out in time.
00:27:45I sat there with a candle.
00:27:49While he laid there.
00:27:52Peaceful.
00:27:54Like he was asleep.
00:27:57But he wasn't.
00:28:00So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:05This used to be our hometown.
00:28:08After 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.
00:28:42It is.
00:28:43We have our own generator.
00:28:45Wow.
00:28:46Rich 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.
00:28:55So enjoy it.
00:28:56Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:58Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:29:00Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:01Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:02All yours.
00:29:07This.
00:29:08Is your home.
00:29:10Alice Keaton.
00:29:17Careful.
00:29:18Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:20Don't push it.
00:29:21Okay then.
00:29:22I have one 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.
00:29:43You had one wish.
00:29:45Anything 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?
00:29:55It's just so cool.
00:29:56Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:00It's literally a board game.
00:30:01Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:04Wait.
00:30:05Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:07The tenth time.
00:30:08It moves in an L shape.
00:30:11One.
00:30:12Two.
00:30:13Then turn.
00:30:14There.
00:30:15Happy.
00:30:16Excited.
00:30:17You know.
00:30:18That's a suicide.
00:30:19Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:30:20You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:21Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:22You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:23Golding disagrees.
00:30:24It's going to be a long night.
00:30:25Oh my.
00:30:26No.
00:30:27Why?
00:30:28What's wrong with that?
00:30:29You can't do that.
00:30:30Can I do that?
00:30:31No.
00:30:32No.
00:30:33No.
00:30:34No.
00:30:35No.
00:30:36No.
00:30:37No.
00:30:38No.
00:30:39No.
00:30:40No.
00:30:41No.
00:30:42No.
00:30:43No.
00:30:44No.
00:30:45No.
00:30:46No.
00:30:47No.
00:30:48No.
00:30:49No.
00:30:50Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:06Um, who are you?
00:31:18What are you doing here?
00:31:19Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:22Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:24Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:26When did you get back?
00:31:28Last night, from Zurich.
00:31:30You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:33I missed you.
00:31:35Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:37Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:40Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:42They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:43I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:46They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:49You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:53Engagement?
00:31:54Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:57He's promised.
00:31:59Old Manister, very retro.
00:32:01I 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.
00:32:11Oh, an American.
00:32:13How refreshing.
00:32:18Goodbye.
00:32:20Wait.
00:32:20Where are you going?
00:32:38You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:40You only paid for dinner.
00:32:42I have homework.
00:32:44Goodbye.
00:32:44Goodbye.
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?
00:33:04Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:23They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:25Oh, and Serena.
00:33:26What about her?
00:33:27Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:31Of course she did.
00:33:45Careful, Alice.
00:33:46You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:48Come to the music room.
00:34:05Urgent.
00:34:06I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:08You guys go ahead.
00:34:09Yeah, okay.
00:34:10Alice, is someone there?
00:34:18Seriously.
00:34:20This is getting old.
00:34:32Wait.
00:34:34Music room, what?
00:34:36James, is anybody in here earlier?
00:34:41Just Miss Serena.
00:34:42Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:44Sir?
00:34:46Sir, it's raining.
00:34:58Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:02You're not that girl again.
00:35:03Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:14Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:17Bishops move diagonally.
00:35:19And knights...
00:35:19The knight's the weird one.
00:35:26Rooks.
00:35:28Straight lines.
00:35:30Bishops.
00:35:32Diagonally.
00:35:33Hello?
00:35:54The text.
00:35:56Are you okay?
00:35:57Are you hurt?
00:35:58I...
00:35:59I'm okay.
00:36:00I...
00:36:00I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:02I didn't see the message.
00:36:04Serena took my phone.
00:36:05I didn't know.
00:36:06I'm sorry.
00:36:08I'm...
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:10You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:12You're freezing.
00:36:12You didn't have to come.
00:36:16Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:18Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:36:25That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:43If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:44I...
00:36:45I...
00:36:46I...
00:36:46Wasn't going to.
00:36:48I...
00:36:48Wasn't going to.
00:37:00Really bad at this, you know.
00:37:03What?
00:37:03Kissing?
00:37:04Hiding feelings.
00:37:05I...
00:37:06Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:29Oh, you wish.
00:37:32Seriously.
00:37:34It's a cock block.
00:37:35You kissed me.
00:37:38That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:46Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:48I might hold you to that.
00:37:49You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:02The list is on the board.
00:38:06One, two, three, four.
00:38:08Paper planes.
00:38:11Are you okay?
00:38:12Fly me to outer space.
00:38:17That's where I'll see your face.
00:38:21And have you with me.
00:38:26It may seem dark.
00:38:31But you always like my spark.
00:38:34You're welcome.
00:38:46They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:49Honestly.
00:38:51Right?
00:38:51I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:58No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:00They all just let me down.
00:39:02But baby, you saved me.
00:39:04Till I'm brand new.
00:39:08Everything's so different now.
00:39:11So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:15Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:17Because it's weird.
00:39:19And I like weird.
00:39:28Check.
00:39:29Check.
00:39:34You're cheating.
00:39:36I'm winning.
00:39:37There's a difference.
00:39:39You are very distracting.
00:39:41And you like it.
00:39:42I will be the four in your day.
00:39:46I'll be the little dark in space.
00:39:51I'll hold you in my arms.
00:39:53Charles.
00:39:53We need to talk.
00:39:56I expected poor judgment.
00:40:06But this in my house?
00:40:08It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:09No.
00:40:11Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:14Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:16We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:19Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:40:22She isn't just...
00:40:24You have no right to barge in.
00:40:26On my property.
00:40:30I care about her.
00:40:32I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:33That's enough.
00:40:34Why do you care?
00:40:38We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:41And our name.
00:40:43You think this protects me?
00:40:44We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:51Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:54You're ready to give up everything.
00:40:57For a girl you barely know.
00:41:01Yes.
00:41:01Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:41:12I'm asking you.
00:41:14Do you think she's ready?
00:41:15To lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:41:20What are you talking about?
00:41:22You left us no choice, son.
00:41:23You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:28Pelton.
00:41:29It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:30Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:32How can I help?
00:41:33If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence,
00:41:41would that warrant a review?
00:41:43Yes, sir.
00:41:47So, answer me again.
00:41:50Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:54Charles, what happened?
00:42:07Did your parents say something?
00:42:08Are they mad?
00:42:08Is everything okay?
00:42:10Pack your things.
00:42:13You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:15What?
00:42:15My parents fired your mother.
00:42:19She's leaving.
00:42:20So, yeah.
00:42:21Wait, what?
00:42:22Why?
00:42:23Is it because of us?
00:42:24We can fix this.
00:42:25I'll get a job.
00:42:26Anything.
00:42:26Stop it.
00:42:26You don't get it.
00:42:28If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:32Okay?
00:42:33No card.
00:42:34No trust.
00:42:35No support.
00:42:36Nothing.
00:42:37Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:42:40We don't need all that.
00:42:41We can...
00:42:42Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:48So, that's what this was?
00:42:50Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:54What did they promise you?
00:42:58Nothing.
00:43:01They 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.
00:43:27Or what I have.
00:43:29You don't, Alice.
00:43:31You're still lying.
00:43:32I'm not, Alice.
00:43:34Look around you.
00:43:35This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:38It's my house.
00:43:41My world.
00:43:42I was bored into this.
00:43:44I am not choosing between this
00:43:46and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:51Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:56You don't mean it.
00:43:57It was fine.
00:43:59But you?
00:44:01You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:05I'll survive the loss.
00:44:06Right.
00:44:11I should have known.
00:44:14Guys 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.
00:44:42In so deep, I can barely see myself.
00:44:45Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:44:54But I find this the place to test myself.
00:45:06Oops.
00:45:07Oh, sorry.
00:45:26Didn't see you there.
00:45:27Then again, nobody does.
00:45:30Move, please.
00:45:31Hmm.
00:45:32Try begging.
00:45:33Begging.
00:45:33Begging.
00:45:34Begging.
00:45:34Begging.
00:45:34Begging.
00:45:37You know what?
00:45:39Keep it.
00:45:45Poor thing.
00:45:47So dramatic.
00:45:49Don't.
00:45:50Excuse me?
00:45:52I warned you.
00:45:53Walk away, Serena.
00:46:07Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:19But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:46:23Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:26Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:27She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:46:30Let her have it.
00:46:31I couldn't stay.
00:46:32I couldn't wait.
00:46:34I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:46:38Can hang around.
00:46:39Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet, like logic and chaos,
00:46:46or silence and noise.
00:46:48Different worlds, different rules.
00:46:50At first glance, they clash.
00:46:55But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:59Confusion.
00:47:00Curiosity.
00:47:01But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:05And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:07And 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.
00:47:30All right.
00:47:31Thank you, Alice.
00:47:33That was...
00:47:34Leia.
00:47:34Are you okay?
00:47:37A reminder.
00:47:38That good literature always stirs something.
00:47:44Hello?
00:47:45Hi, this is Alice Keaton.
00:47:46This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:47We've been following your work.
00:47:49We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:51Name your price.
00:47:52We'll make it work.
00:47:54Sorry, what?
00:47:59That's...
00:47:59kind of insane.
00:48:01Who's behind this?
00:48:02Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:04Can...
00:48:05Can I meet them?
00:48:09I want to.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:12Or at least tell me a name.
00:48:17Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:48:19So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:48:21I'd really like to meet them.
00:48:22Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:48:23They were very good.
00:48:25I think the most generous offer we've ever given a disability right now.
00:48:28I see.
00:48:29Congratulations again.
00:48:30You got the interview.
00:48:36It's just an interview.
00:48:37I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:38Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:41That's iconic.
00:48:42For your love, I'll be gone.
00:48:45I'll be gone.
00:48:45I'll be gone.
00:48:46I'll be gone.
00:48:47You okay?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:09Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:12Good.
00:49:13It's a generous deal.
00:49:15You sure you don't want it to know?
00:49:16No.
00:49:19No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:49:31Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:34Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:36Your engagement and announcement 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.
00:49:57I've lost my appetite.
00:50:02I'll go check on him.
00:50:06What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:13Disengagement is not happening.
00:50:16It's not up to you.
00:50:17You know that.
00:50:18Serena, we're not doing this.
00:50:21You've changed.
00:50:25Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
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, including her.
00:51:07I protected her.
00:51:11You loved her.
00:51:13Still do.
00:51:16Let it go, Serena.
00:51:19There's no point.
00:51:20I need a favour.
00:51:30Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:33And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:36Anything with Lyra?
00:51:43She's not answering.
00:51:45The interview's almost over.
00:51:46Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:48Something's wrong.
00:51:51Where'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.
00:52:02Wait, where are you going?
00:52:13Chill, okay?
00:52:15It won't hurt you.
00:52:16Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:52:19That's it.
00:52:20Shit!
00:52:29Come back!
00:52:29Come back!
00:52:29Let's go!
00:52:37I remember how it meant
00:52:59Didn't need a second guess
00:53:07Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:10Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:53:19You're awake?
00:53:21Where, where am I?
00:53:23A local clinic. Passerby brought you in
00:53:26Passerby?
00:53:28He found you on the side of the road
00:53:30He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:34Oh
00:53:36The interview, what time is it?
00:53:38Easy
00:53:39It's okay
00:53:40Someone already contacted the university
00:53:42And sent in your writing samples
00:53:44They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:46Wait, what, who?
00:53:48No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:53What did you say?
00:53:55Nothing
00:53:56I just...
00:53:58had a dream
00:54:06I got him!
00:54:07Oh, I knew it!
00:54:08Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:54:21He's not here
00:54:22Oh, you didn't know?
00:54:24Know what?
00:54:25He left
00:54:27He left
00:54:28A few days ago, yeah
00:54:29Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:31Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him
00:54:33It's probably for the best
00:54:34Come on
00:54:35The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:48Chaotic
00:54:50Unexpected
00:54:52And with his absence
00:54:55Come on
00:54:56With me
00:54:57It ended quietly
00:54:58Like summers always do
00:55:02And joining us today
00:55:17The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:55:21Alice Keaton
00:55:22Thank you for having me
00:55:23No, your words moved millions
00:55:26They say your stories feel real
00:55:29Especially the ones about love
00:55:31Thank you
00:55:32Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:34How'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
00:55:43Not even a single date
00:55:44Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:46Oh, she caught me
00:55:47Still no comment
00:55:48Alright, alright
00:55:49No matter what you say
00:55:51You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:55If you're so real
00:55:56Because once I did
00:55:58That's why today we're here
00:55:59Someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:01Behind Alice Keaton's
00:56:03And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:05And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:56:09Congratulations Alice
00:56:20The numbers just came in
00:56:22You broke your own record
00:56:23That's incredible
00:56:26We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight
00:56:30Actually
00:56:31There's something I'd rather do
00:56:33I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:56:38My sponsor

00:56:41Yeah

00:57:14You always did
00:57:15You were expecting someone else?
00:57:17I was hoping
00:57:18But I guess I always knew
00:57:32I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:34Or to reopen anything
00:57:35Hope you liked the attention

00:58:06Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:07So

00:58:21I hope
00:58:22Charles
00:58:23Can you just
00:58:25Wait a little longer
00:58:35I think I knew it was you
00:58:37There was one email
00:58:40You said something
00:58:42It felt familiar
00:58:43Really
00:58:44Kind of had that
00:58:45Rich asshole with a conscious energy
00:58:48Very on brand
00:58:50I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:52Too late
00:58:53Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:55Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation
00:58:58Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically
00:59:01You've changed
00:59:02You've changed
00:59:07But
00:59:09Not really
00:59:11You haven't changed
00:59:13But
00:59:14Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:59:18Anyway
00:59:20I wanted to say
00:59:22Thank you
00:59:23Thank you
00:59:24And
00:59:26Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:28You didn't have to come
00:59:30Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:31I do
00:59:34You didn't have to come
00:59:37Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:39What I have to do
00:59:59If you could go back
01:00:00If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:02Would you do anything differently?
01:00:04No
01:00:14No
01:00:16No
01:00:20I see
01:00:24I know my answer now
01:00:25I didn't have the power back then
01:00:28Not enough to protect you
01:00:30I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:33Because of my name
01:00:35My family
01:00:38I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:41So you just disappeared
01:00:43Without a word
01:00:47If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:49Without me weighing you down
01:00:51If you still chose me after that
01:00:57You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:59But you made a choice for me
01:01:02Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:07I would have chosen you anyway?
01:01:14I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:01:17You weren't
01:01:19But I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:20You weren't
01:01:23But I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:34This is me
01:01:35Right
01:01:43I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:44I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:47I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:57Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:01You're asking your ex
01:02:03Who 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 what I have to do
01:02:17It's almost like you say
01:02:19Less things bring the gold
01:02:21Stop quoting yourself
01:02:23I recycle, it saves energy
01:02:25This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:27You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:29You're the one who wants called romance a distraction
01:02:31I said that?
01:02:33Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:35Still is
01:02:37You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:39That is cute to me
01:02:42Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:44I wasn't going to
01:02:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:48I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:50I'm not sure
01:02:52You're not sure
01:02:54You're not sure
01:02:56You're not sure
01:02:58You're not sure
01:03:00You're not sure
01:03:01The day you left
01:03:02Then shut up
01:03:04Then prove it
01:03:11I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:13I told you
01:03:14They're either worst enemies
01:03:15Or secretly married
01:03:16And I told you
01:03:17They're both
01:03:31I vow to always tell you the truth, except for when you ask how your cooking was, then
01:03:51I lie. Respectfully. I vow to keep choosing you, loudly, quietly.
01:04:01Always. Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:07Is he actually good at this?
01:04:09I mean, he did beat her at soccer though.
01:04:15I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:04:20I vow to write you into every story, even when I say I didn't.
01:04:25It will always be part of my life.
01:04:28If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:04:30No, you're not. You're going to cry harder.
01:04:36I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:04:42Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:04:48Guard your phone.
01:04:50Relax. Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:54You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:00Please, Alice, go change.
01:05:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:05:04No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:09That is not an invitation. Do not take off these clothes.
01:05:13Overruled. You look much better without them.
01:05:17I miss home. There's a feeling in my life.
01:05:19To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:25Sometimes I want to be on my own.
01:05:31Sometimes I want to be on my own.
01:05:33Sometimes I want to be on my own.
01:05:35But I don't want to die alone.
01:05:37God.
01:06:01Oopsie!
01:06:03That was so good.
01:06:05It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:06:22Help us develop, learn, and grow.
