00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:21Breathe the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:24American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:31I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:43it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:00:58I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:18Almost there.
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21If somebody calls this a fresh start,
00:01:23I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just for yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:37Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead, I'm...
00:01:55You're not staying.
00:01:56You're okay?
00:01:57You're okay?
00:01:58You're okay.
00:01:59I wanna shake it down.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because...
00:02:11I...
00:02:13Don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15A new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:21No.
00:02:22There's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles hates charity.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30Why is she?
00:02:31Quiet.
00:02:32Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But...
00:02:40In that moment...
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:54Charles.
00:02:55Move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:02:59From...
00:03:00From what?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything, Charles, Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:07She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir.
00:03:12Her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:19Enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:25Back to Goldie.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughn.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the audience and tell you what he's talking about their experience of the time.
00:03:40Wait.
00:03:41You sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:43You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it past me.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:57I've seen Connor.
00:03:58He's not my type.
00:03:59You're joking.
00:04:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:07The what?
00:04:08His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:14No one can get past his ego.
00:04:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay, first of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated.
00:04:32Like he's faking it all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No, go on.
00:04:42You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:56Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:02We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:22Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting happen?
00:05:26Not really.
00:05:27Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, all right.
00:05:33Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:42This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah?
00:05:47Isn't that incredible?
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:01Wow.
00:06:07Rich people.
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:14Stephen King.
00:06:16First edition.
00:06:26Breaking and entering now.
00:06:29How American of you.
00:06:30I...
00:06:31You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:32Trying to fight it hard.
00:06:53You can get up now.
00:06:54I...
00:06:55I'm trying.
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying.
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny.
00:07:06I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:08What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:13Your house.
00:07:15My house.
00:07:16My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:07:20Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:21You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:07:22She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:23She what?
00:07:24There...
00:07:25There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:26You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:27Is that so?
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29I'm not staying here, like, at all.
00:07:30That's a shame.
00:07:31Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:32Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:33Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:34Come on, Alice.
00:07:35You must stay.
00:07:36It'll be fun.
00:07:37My dear classmate.
00:07:38I'm dead.
00:07:39Like mentally, socially.
00:07:40Our day all day.
00:07:41Oh my God.
00:07:42All day all day.
00:07:43My parents are dead.
00:07:44My parents are dead.
00:07:45I'm dead.
00:07:46I'm dead.
00:07:47I'm mad and all day all day.
00:07:48I'm very really cold, like, at all.
00:07:49That's a shame.
00:07:50Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:51Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:53Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:54Come on, Alice.
00:07:55You must stay.
00:07:56It'll be fun.
00:07:59My dear classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:02Like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:08:05Some night and night and night.
00:08:06Just trying to figure out
00:08:13How exactly my life went off the rails
00:08:16Get it together, Alice Keaton
00:08:18You've been through hell
00:08:20Actually, no
00:08:25This is hell
00:08:27Good morning
00:08:36Wow
00:08:39Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know
00:08:50That's often closed for months
00:08:51She's going to be late
00:08:53Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:03Five miles to school
00:09:06Okay, if I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period
00:09:10Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:13Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:19What are you doing here? Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait, did you come back for me?
00:09:29Relax
00:09:31I forgot my textbook
00:09:33Don't flatter yourself
00:09:35Wait
00:09:36Since you're already here
00:09:41Maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:47No
00:09:47Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge
00:09:51Yeah
00:09:52And I'm not a fan of sharing
00:09:55Says the guy who forced me to live in his house
00:09:59Unbelievable
00:10:04Ashford Institute, please
00:10:15Thank you
00:10:16Clooney is that entitled brat anyway
00:10:22Sir, you called the cab
00:10:24Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy
00:10:34She's new
00:10:36Everybody's already talking
00:10:38So you're worried about her?
00:10:40You're overthinking
00:10:41I just don't like drama
00:10:43Asshole
00:10:50Hey
00:10:51Morning, Klaus
00:10:54Back to Golding
00:10:56Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:59Mr. Kenwood
00:11:05Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly
00:11:09Oh, I insist
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding
00:11:13I'm not entertained by Golding, sir
00:11:16On the contrary
00:11:18I think his ending is
00:11:20Weak
00:11:22Wait, wait
00:11:24You wish you read it?
00:11:25Quiet
00:11:25That's an interesting take
00:11:29Explain
00:11:30He had the set up for something brutal
00:11:34Something honest
00:11:36In the end
00:11:37He backed out
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40Forced them to confront
00:11:41Collapsible morality
00:11:42Let them choose survival
00:11:44Or death
00:11:45But instead
00:11:47He gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48Slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50On a book about savagery
00:11:52It's a waste
00:11:56Don't you think?
00:11:57I'm delightfully surprised, Charles
00:11:59Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02I'm always a model student, sir
00:12:04Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:06So
00:12:09A critique of Golding's mercy
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:13I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32It's not mercy
00:12:33It's irony
00:12:34How so?
00:12:38The rescue isn't a happy ending
00:12:40You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:12:43Golding didn't save them
00:12:45He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton
00:12:50You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:52In some ways
00:12:54But not harsh enough
00:12:55Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59But still, Golding sympathized with them
00:13:02And the civilized world?
00:13:04Toxic, violent
00:13:05He didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07So yeah
00:13:08I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:13:09But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:12Thank you, Miss Keaton
00:13:17Well said
00:13:18Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid
00:13:24Okay
00:13:24That was kind of epic
00:13:26And let's not forget
00:13:26Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29Good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:33What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on?
00:13:44Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new
00:13:47And apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of the most epic feud
00:13:54Asher's scene in years
00:13:55We're not even fighting
00:13:56Well, according to everyone
00:13:57You confessed your love on day one
00:13:59Got rejected
00:14:00Begged to sit next to him
00:14:02Got rejected again
00:14:04And today in class
00:14:05You broke down crying about
00:14:07Not believing in happy endings
00:14:08And stormed out in tears
00:14:10You were there, Sherry
00:14:13That is not what happened
00:14:15Doesn't matter
00:14:17People believe what they want to believe
00:14:19And they want Charles to be flawless
00:14:21Untouchable
00:14:22Wow
00:14:23Is massage only like a rich kid thing
00:14:26Or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both
00:14:29But seriously, Alice
00:14:31Some people already see you as a threat
00:14:33Okay
00:14:41Loaded
00:14:43Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:14:47Hello?
00:15:02Hello?
00:15:04Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:10Fine
00:15:23Fine
00:15:23Seriously?
00:15:38Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit
00:15:42What the hell?
00:15:49Anne
00:15:50I thought you were having dinner with Alice
00:15:52She hasn't come home
00:15:53She hasn't come home
00:15:53Her phone is off
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:59Yikes
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:16:02Shit
00:16:08Alice
00:16:14Alice
00:16:14Alice
00:16:15Mr. Pelton
00:16:16Charles Kenwood here
00:16:18I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton
00:16:20She hasn't come home
00:16:22I'll have her send her over
00:16:23Check the common room in the library
00:16:26I'll take the rest
00:16:27Alice
00:16:28Alice
00:16:30Come on, Alice
00:16:44Close your eyes and jump
00:16:47It's fine
00:16:49You're fine
00:16:51Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:17:05Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:17:17Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:22What are you doing here?
00:17:28Can you get off me first?
00:17:30Oh, so certain
00:17:32Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault
00:17:39I thought we were polite
00:17:40You're welcome
00:17:41I didn't say thank you
00:17:43I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment
00:17:53Wow
00:17:54You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms
00:17:58And getting insulted for it
00:17:59Wouldn't recommend it
00:18:00You're heavier than you look
00:18:01I hope you pull your shoulder
00:18:05Are you okay?
00:18:12No
00:18:12But I will be
00:18:14Someone did this on purpose
00:18:17What do you think, Golden Boy?
00:18:20Don't worry, I can handle it
00:18:21You shouldn't have to
00:18:22I'm
00:18:25Sorry
00:18:27Sorry
00:18:34Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it
00:18:44Alice?
00:18:48Over here
00:18:49Oh my god
00:18:50You okay?
00:18:53Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah
00:18:57I just
00:18:57Took a weird shower
00:18:59Tap exploded
00:19:00Come on
00:19:03Let's go you home
00:19:04Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:19:19I know how this place works
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it
00:19:47If you don't do anything about it
00:19:47It's only going to get worse
00:19:48I'll look into it
00:19:51Charles
00:19:53Good on you
00:19:55How many here would speak up?
00:20:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in
00:20:04That's insane
00:20:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07Busy protecting their Golden Boys and Trust Funds
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth
00:20:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night
00:20:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:18Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:20:38Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:41And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:44Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:51But sometimes
00:20:52Being here means standing behind
00:20:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:20:58You can never afford
00:21:00Have fun
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced
00:21:06And unnecessary
00:21:08The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:21:13Which translates to
00:21:14Mom's salary for half a year
00:21:16So, yeah
00:21:17I didn't go
00:21:38Uh, what are you doing here?
00:21:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok
00:21:48This, this is not even your kitchen
00:21:50And this is not even your house
00:21:52And yet you're here, dressed like this
00:21:54Just don't, look, go away
00:21:57Hard not to
00:21:58When you're walking around dressed like that
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:02Um, buzzkill?
00:22:04Cockblock
00:22:05You're insufferable
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:22:08You know what?
00:22:10I don't get it
00:22:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing
00:22:14Why do you think?
00:22:21Where would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:22:26Florence
00:22:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian
00:22:32Or Tiziano
00:22:33If you want to sound extra pretentious
00:22:36Then Venice
00:22:37Because everybody loves a good canal
00:22:39And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:22:42Next stop
00:22:43Napoli
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked
00:22:47Ancient people have plumbing
00:22:48The final stop
00:22:49Paris
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance
00:22:54And naturally
00:22:55Woody Allen's favourite city
00:22:58Outside of New York
00:22:59That's word for word
00:23:03I told you
00:23:04I've done this tour so many times
00:23:06I could run it
00:23:07Okay, but still
00:23:08It's Europe
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:23:13Twice
00:23:15Also, I hate the accommodations
00:23:17Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels
00:23:22And no thank you
00:23:24Wow
00:23:25Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:23:27Well, that's unfortunate
00:23:28It's a very chaotic city
00:23:30One word of advice?
00:23:31Shut up
00:23:32It's two words
00:23:33You're weird
00:23:36You're loud
00:23:37You're annoying
00:23:37You're in my kitchen
00:23:38You have three other kitchens
00:23:40And I prefer this one
00:23:41Just for today
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on
00:23:44Come back with normal clothes on
00:23:46You didn't have to come
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do
00:23:48Master Charles
00:23:58Roads are flooded
00:23:59Staff won't make it tonight
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:05I've got it sorted
00:24:06Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax
00:24:21I'm here to make a deal
00:24:24What deal?
00:24:26You nearly gave me a heart attack
00:24:27You'll survive
00:24:32I'm not selling my body
00:24:35I'm not selling my body
00:24:41Wow
00:24:45I am deeply offended
00:24:48That thought disgusts me
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52The staff's off tonight
00:24:53I'm buying dinner
00:24:55Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on
00:25:00No, I'm
00:25:01Jesus
00:25:02Wait
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled
00:25:13Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you
00:25:20Meatball spaghetti
00:25:21Stir fried veggies
00:25:22And french fries
00:25:24You're welcome
00:25:24Interesting combo
00:25:26Well I know we're not in Italy or France
00:25:28But this will do
00:25:29It's
00:25:31Good
00:25:33Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although
00:25:41I am obliged to inform you
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian
00:25:46It's American
00:25:47And french fries
00:25:48Likely born in South America
00:25:49You should read more
00:25:51Put it down
00:25:54I paid for it
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument
00:25:58Don't you?
00:25:58To be fair
00:25:59You make it very easy
00:26:01It's only easy
00:26:03Because it costs £200
00:26:04You know
00:26:06If you'd ask for more
00:26:07I probably would have given it to you
00:26:08I'll make sure you want it
00:26:09Hey Alice
00:26:24It's fine
00:26:25You're fine
00:26:279-1-1
00:26:34What's for your emergency?
00:26:35It's my dad
00:26:43He needs help
00:26:44He just had a stroke
00:26:45Okay miss
00:26:46Hurricane constant traffic
00:26:47Shut down
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can

00:26:50I understand
00:26:51Can you confirm your address?

00:27:45You, what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:58Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:12You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18A hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:25But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:38Like he was asleep.
00:28:40But he wasn't.
00:28:42So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:48This used to be our hometown.
00:28:51After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.

00:38:18That's basically consent to everything
00:38:23Dangerous words, Keaton
00:38:28I might hold you to that
00:38:30You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays
00:38:42The list is on the board
00:38:44One, two, three, four
00:38:48Paper planes

00:39:04It may seem dark
00:39:10You're distracting
00:39:14You're welcome
00:39:22They're either enemies we secretly married
00:39:29Honestly
00:39:30Right?
00:39:32I was sure I'd never find someone
00:39:36To make my head spin around
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:39:40They all just let me down
00:39:42But baby
00:39:43You saved me
00:39:45Until I'm brand new
00:39:48Everything's so different now
00:39:51So
00:39:52The night goes in an L shape, right?

00:39:58Because it's weird
00:39:59And I like weird
00:40:02Check
00:40:10You're cheating
00:40:16I'm winning
00:40:17There's a difference
00:40:19You are very distracting
00:40:20And you like it
00:40:23I will be there for you, babe
00:40:25I'll be there for your darkest days
00:40:30I'll hold you in my arms
00:40:33Charles
00:40:33We need to talk
00:40:36I expected poor judgment
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like
00:40:49No?
00:40:50Kissing a servant's daughter
00:40:53In the family library
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles
00:40:56We came back tonight
00:40:57After speaking with Serena
00:40:59Imagine our surprise
00:41:00Walking in on this
00:41:03She isn't just
00:41:03You have no right
00:41:06To barge in
00:41:06On my property
00:41:07I care about her
00:41:12I'm not ashamed of that
00:41:14That's enough
00:41:14Why do you care?
00:41:15Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future
00:41:20And our name
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:24We think
00:41:25She does not belong in your world
00:41:28Then maybe I don't either
00:41:33You're ready to give up everything
00:41:36For a girl you barely know
00:41:38Yes
00:41:42Then
00:41:43Are you sure
00:41:45She's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you
00:41:53Do you think she's ready
00:41:55To lose everything
00:41:56Regardless of how little
00:41:57That is
00:41:58Just to be with you
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father
00:42:05Helton
00:42:08It's Frederick Kenwood
00:42:10Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student
00:42:15Were to violate our behavioural code
00:42:18In a public setting
00:42:19With photographic evidence
00:42:21Would that warrant a review?
00:42:22Yes, sir
00:42:24So
00:42:27Answer me again
00:42:29Do you think she's ready
00:42:32To lose everything
00:42:33Just to be with you?
00:42:45Charles
00:42:45What happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things
00:42:51You can't stay here anymore
00:42:54What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother
00:42:58She's leaving
00:43:00So are you
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this
00:43:05I'll get a job
00:43:06Anything
00:43:06Stop, stop it
00:43:06You don't get it
00:43:07If I don't walk away from this
00:43:10They'll cut me off
00:43:11Okay?
00:43:13No card
00:43:14No trust
00:43:15No support
00:43:15Nothing
00:43:17Then
00:43:18Then we'll figure it out
00:43:20We don't need all that
00:43:21We can
00:43:22Do you really think
00:43:24I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was
00:43:29Just fun
00:43:31Until it got inconvenient
00:43:32What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing
00:43:39They just reminded me
00:43:43Of what's real
00:43:44Charles, I'm not stupid
00:43:49You don't just turn into a cold stranger
00:43:52Because of one conversation
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me
00:44:06Or what I have
00:44:08You don't
00:44:10Alice
00:44:10You're still lying
00:44:12I'm not
00:44:12Alice
00:44:13Look around you
00:44:15This mansion
00:44:16You thought was a museum
00:44:17It's my house
00:44:20My world
00:44:21I was bored into this
00:44:23I am not choosing
00:44:24Between this
00:44:26And something I picked up
00:44:30For a moment
00:44:31Of fun
00:44:31Don't do this, Charles
00:44:35You don't mean it
00:44:37It was fun
00:44:38But with you
00:44:39You don't compare to what I own
00:44:42I'll survive the loss
00:44:46Right
00:44:49I should have known
00:44:52Guys like you
00:44:55Don't end up with girls like me
00:44:56You play with them
00:45:00Then you throw them away
00:45:01Go to sleep, Alice
00:45:04Go to sleep, Alice
00:45:04Go to sleep
00:45:06Alice
00:45:07Go to sleep
00:45:15This fall is a little more
00:45:18Than I expected
00:45:19In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:25Yeah around me feels so heavy
00:45:30But depleted
00:45:32But I find this the place
00:45:36To test myself
00:45:38Oops
00:46:00Oh, sorry
00:46:05Didn't see that
00:46:07Then again, nobody does
00:46:08Move, please
00:46:10Try begging
00:46:13You know what, keep it
00:46:20Poor thing
00:46:26So dramatic
00:46:27Don't
00:46:29Excuse me
00:46:31I warned you
00:46:32Walk away, Serena
00:46:34Last week's group assignments were
00:46:57Mostly forgettable
00:46:58But one pair surprised me
00:47:00In a good way
00:47:02Charles Kenwood
00:47:03And Alice Keaton
00:47:04Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:10Better have it
00:47:11Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:47:27Different worlds, different worlds, different rules
00:47:30At first glance, they clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:47:38Confusion, curiosity
00:47:40But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:47:43And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:47And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:59Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:03Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:03Miss Keaton
00:48:06Dramatic as always
00:48:09All right
00:48:10Thank you, Alice
00:48:11That was
00:48:13Later
00:48:14Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:21Hello?
00:48:25Hi, this is Alice Keaton
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press
00:48:27We've been following your work
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract
00:48:30Name your price
00:48:31We'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:34That's kind of insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:50Can
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to
00:48:55Please
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name
00:48:59Sorry
00:49:03They wish to stay in office
00:49:05So they're only interested in words
00:49:06Not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
00:49:08I'm sorry to keep them
00:49:09They were very good
00:49:10I think the most generous work we've ever given an interview right now
00:49:13I see
00:49:15Congratulations again
00:49:16You got the interview
00:49:22It's just an interview
00:49:23I haven't gotten in yet
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:26That's iconic
00:49:28You okay?
00:49:38Yeah
00:49:39I'm so excited
00:49:41It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:49:56Good
00:49:58It's a generous deal
00:50:00You sure you don't want her to know?
00:50:03No
00:50:03No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:50:07I would be before you be
00:50:11I'd be there in your darkest days
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to
00:50:26Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:50:32And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:50:37It's all coming together beautifully
00:50:41I've lost my appetite
00:50:45I'll go check on him
00:50:49What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement
00:51:00Is not happening
00:51:02It's not up to you
00:51:03You know that
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this
00:51:06You've changed
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:51:14Pretending
00:51:14Pretending
00:51:16Pretending
00:51:18Pretending
00:51:20You're the sponsor
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:51:47So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone
00:51:52Including her
00:51:53I protected her
00:51:56You loved her
00:51:59Still do
00:52:00Let it go, Serena
00:52:04There's no point
00:52:06I need a favour
00:52:16Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:52:18And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:52:23Anything?
00:52:28No?
00:52:30She's not answering
00:52:31The interview's almost over
00:52:32Well, she won't just not show up
00:52:34Something's wrong
00:52:35Where's Alice?
00:52:38When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night
00:52:41She said she was prepping all evening
00:52:43James
00:52:48Track someone for me
00:52:49Wait
00:52:51Where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay
00:53:01We won't hurt you
00:53:02Yeah
00:53:03We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:53:06That's it
00:53:06Shit
00:53:15Come back
00:53:16I remember how a man
00:53:22I remember
00:53:30I remember how a man
00:53:34I remember how I meant
00:53:46Didn't need a second guess
00:53:50Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:56Alice, hey, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:04I must have pickedje
00:54:07Take it back
00:54:09You're awake?
00:54:10Where, where am I?
00:54:11Local clinic
00:54:12Passerby brought you in
00:54:14Passerby?
00:54:15He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:22Oh
00:54:24The interview, what time is it?
00:54:25Easy
00:54:26It's okay
00:54:28Someone already contacted the University
00:54:30And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow. Wait, what? Who? No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:41What did you say nothing I just had a dream
00:55:02Oh, I knew it
00:55:05Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it. He's not here. Oh
00:55:10You didn't know know what?
00:55:14He left a few days ago. Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:19Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him. It's probably for the best. Come on
00:55:27That's the day
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:37Chaotic
00:55:38Unexpected
00:55:41And with his absence, come on
00:55:45It ended quietly
00:55:49Like summers always do
00:56:02And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton
00:56:09Thank you for having me
00:56:10Now, your words moved millions. They say your stories feel real
00:56:15Especially the ones about love. Thank you. Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days? No comment
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working not even a single date
00:56:31Let me guess a bird named Sherry. She caught me. There's still no comment. All right. All right
00:56:37No matter what you say you write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43It feels so real because once I did with someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:48Behind Alice Keaton
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:52And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:56:56Congratulations, Alice. The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:11That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually, there's something I'd rather do
00:57:21I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:57:26My sponsor
00:57:27You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah, just once
00:57:31Tonight, 7pm
00:57:33Good evening
00:57:45Good evening
00:57:50May I sit?
00:57:56Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:00Hi
00:58:03Hi
00:58:04Hi
00:58:05You look well
00:58:08And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:58:13You always did
00:58:15You were expecting someone else
00:58:18I was
00:58:20I was hoping
00:58:22But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:27Or to reopen anything
00:58:29I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:33Oh, thank you
00:58:37Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:40You're rich enough not to do so
00:58:43Always
00:58:45Either way
00:58:47Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:50No, you earned everything
00:58:53Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:58:58Every reader
00:59:01That's what I came to say
00:59:03It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:09Charles
00:59:10Can you just
00:59:13Wait a little longer
00:59:16I think I knew it was you
00:59:24There was one email
00:59:27You said something
00:59:30It felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that
00:59:33Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:35Very on brand
00:59:37I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:40Too late
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:42Still the only girl I know
00:59:45Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:46Still the only guy I know
00:59:48Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:49You've changed
00:59:53But
00:59:55Not really
00:59:57You haven't changed
01:00:00But maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:00:04Anyway
01:00:06I wanted to say
01:00:08Thank you
01:00:10And
01:00:12Thanks for being here tonight
01:00:14You didn't have to come
01:00:16Don't tell me what I have to do
01:00:19You didn't have to come
01:00:23Don't tell me
01:00:25What I have to do
01:00:36If you could go back
01:00:48If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:57No
01:00:57I see
01:01:08I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power
01:01:14Back then
01:01:14Not enough to protect you
01:01:17I couldn't watch you get crushed
01:01:19Because of me
01:01:19Because of my name
01:01:22My family
01:01:23I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:01:27So you just disappeared
01:01:29Without a word
01:01:31If you had the chance to see the world
01:01:36Without me weighing you down
01:01:37If you still chose me after that
01:01:40You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:01:46But you made a choice for me
01:01:49Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:54I would have chosen you anyway
01:01:58I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:05You weren't
01:02:07But I never claimed to be that smart
01:02:12This is me
01:02:21Right
01:02:22I'm still mad at you
01:02:31You know
01:02:31I'm still in love with you
01:02:35You know
01:02:35Do you want to come in for a bit
01:02:45You're asking your ex
01:02:49Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:51To come into your hotel
01:02:53At approximately 11pm
01:02:55You were right
01:02:58You never were that smart
01:03:00You don't have to come
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:03:04It's almost like you say
01:03:08It's almost like you say
01:03:08The last thing is going to go
01:03:12Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle
01:03:21It saves energy
01:03:22This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that
01:03:31Yeah
01:03:31Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:33Still is
01:03:35You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:37That is cute to me
01:03:42Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:45I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:48Then shut up
01:03:49And prove it
01:03:52I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:59I told you
01:04:01They're either worst enemies
01:04:02Or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you
01:04:04They're both
01:04:05I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:04:35Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:39Respectfully
01:04:42I vowed to keep choosing you
01:04:44Loudly
01:04:46Quietly
01:04:48Always
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean
01:04:56He did beat her at soccer though
01:05:01I vowed to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:04Especially our Shakespeare
01:05:05I vowed to write you in your every story
01:05:08Even when I say I didn't
01:05:10You will always be a part of my life
01:05:13If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:16No you're not
01:05:17You're going to cry harder
01:05:18For the rest of my life
01:05:23For the rest of my life
01:05:27I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:44Such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:05:46Guard your phone
01:05:49Relax
01:05:50Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:05:52And you'll be fine
01:05:53You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:05:58Please Alice
01:06:00Go change
01:06:01Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:03No
01:06:07No
01:06:08No, no, no, no
01:06:10That is not an invitation
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes
01:06:13Overrode
01:06:13You look much better without them
01:06:16To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:23In chaos
01:06:25In chapters
01:06:25You will find your way home
01:06:28Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:34But I don't want to die alone
01:06:37Cut
01:06:38What do you think?
01:06:42It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:08Help us develop, learn, and grow.
01:07:12Help us develop, learn, and grow.
