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, you're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's a boss.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:20He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe in room before opening your mouth.
00:00:25American.
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!
00:00:40We 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?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:23I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to poor, but I'm sick anyway.
00:01:59I want to say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22Now, there's a spot, next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles' case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, what is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:02:45Charles, move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
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, her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:25Back to Golding.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughan.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the UNT team.
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:40Wait, you 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.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:07His 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, like he's faking out.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:37What?
00:04:38No, go on.
00:04:39You 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.
00:05:06Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting, Captain?
00:05:27Not really.
00:05:28Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:30How'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.
00:05:47That's incredible.
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:55Wait here.
00:05:56I'll talk to the butler.
00:05:58Wow.
00:05:59Rich people.
00:06:00You've topped yourselves again.

00:07:22ah master charles must be miss alice anne's daughter she said you'd be moving in today
00:07:27she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see i'm not actually
00:07:33moving in that's so yeah i'm not staying here like at all that's a shame your mother seemed quite
00:07:40pleased with the arrangement well i just don't think it's appropriate well if you're sure then
00:07:45absolutely not come on alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate
00:07:59i'm dead like mentally socially and actually dead
00:08:12just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails
00:08:17get it together alice keaton you've been through
00:08:20i'd never find someone to make my head spin around
00:08:24actually no
00:08:24gonna be the thing i need they all just let this is hell
00:08:39so is that miss keaton well doesn't know that's often close for months
00:08:51she's going to be late okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe i'll just walk five miles to school
00:09:07okay if i sprint maybe i'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:13or die of exhaustion on the way what what are you doing here didn't you already leave
00:09:26wait did you come back for me relax i forgot my textbook don't flatter yourself wait
00:09:36since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride
00:09:47no seriously your car is huge yeah and i'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who forced me to live in
00:09:58his house asher institute please thank you
00:10:20who needs that entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why not just give miss keaton a lift
00:10:28and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's already talking so you're worried about her
00:10:40you're overthinking i just don't like drama
00:10:50asshole who morning class back to golding remind me what he's saying
00:10:58through lord of the flies
00:11:04mr kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh i insist you seem very entertained
00:11:13by golding i'm not entertained by golding sir on the contrary i think his ending is weak
00:11:22wait wait wait you wish you read it quiet that's an interesting take explain
00:11:32he had the setup for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left
00:11:39the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability let them choose survival
00:11:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:11:55it's a waste don't you think i'm delightfully surprised charles didn't think you had such strong
00:12:01literary opinions i'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:06so a critique of golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:12:28i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way it's not mercy it's irony
00:12:35how so
00:12:38the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:12:44golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48that's an interesting tape mosquito you still think it's a harsh critique in some ways but not harsh enough
00:12:57yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still golding sympathize with them
00:13:02and the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah i don't think
00:13:08golding pushed far enough but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:12thank you miss keaton well said anyone else
00:13:22both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic golding faced major backlash when he first published
00:13:29the book good literature will always divide what's happening to me
00:13:42okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me well you're new and apparently had a thing with
00:13:49charles a what now you two are in the middle of the most epic feud i should've seen in years we're not
00:13:56even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected begged to sit
00:14:02next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:09and stormed out in tears you were there sherry that is not what happened doesn't matter people believe
00:14:18what they want to believe and they want charles to be flawless untouchable wow is misogyny
00:14:25like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty honestly both but seriously alice some people already
00:14:32see you as a threat okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester

00:17:28Can you get off me first?
00:17:33Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we would put you in
00:17:40You're welcome
00:17:41I didn't say thank you
00:17:44I figured saving your life might turn 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 sorry
00:18:27Sorry
00:18:34Sorry
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?
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:48Alice?
00:18:48Over here
00:18:49Oh my god
00:18:50You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah, I just
00:18:57Took a weird shower
00:18:59Top exploded
00:19:00Come on
00:19:03Let's get you home
00:19:04Alice's cheating, right?
00:19:15I heard she 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
00:19:50I'll look into it
00:19:51Charles?
00:19:53Good on you
00:19:55How many of you would speak up?
00:19:57I 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
00:20:45Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:51But sometimes, being here means standing behind
00:20:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford
00:21:00Have fun
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:21:08The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:21:13Which translates to mom's salary for half a year
00:21:16So yeah, I didn't go
00:21:38Uh, what are you doing here? Do 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?
00:22:05Cockblock
00:22:05You're insufferable
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:22:08You know what? I 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?
00:22:21How would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:22:26Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian
00:22:32Or Tiziano, if 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, Napoli
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing
00:22:48The final stop
00:22:49Paris
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside 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 I could run it
00:23:07Okay, but still, it's Europe
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:23:14Twice
00:23:15Also, I hate the accommodations
00:23:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels
00:23:22No, 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?
00:24:03I've got it sorted
00:24:06Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:21Relax
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?
00:24:52Staff's off tonight
00:24:53I'm buying dinner
00:24:55Did you seriously think
00:24:59I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I...
00:25:01Jesus
00:25:02Wait
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:07I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled
00:25:13Are you sure about that?
00:25:17I present to you?
00:25:20I present to you
00:25:20Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies and french fries
00:25:24You're welcome
00:25:25Interesting combo
00:25:26Well I know we're not in Italy or France but this'll do
00:25:29It's...
00:25:30It'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
00:25:50You should read more
00:25:51Put it down
00:25:54I paid for it
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument don't you?
00:25:58To be fair
00:25:59You make it very easy
00:26:01It's only easy because it costs £200
00:26:04You know if you'd asked for more I probably would have given it to you
00:26:08I'll make sure you want it
00:26:09I don't know
00:26:09I don't know
00:26:11Hey Alice, it's fine
00:26:25You're fine
00:26:279-1-1, look for your emergency
00:26:359-1-1, look for your emergency
00:26:35It's my dad, he needs help, he just had a stroke
00:26:45Okay miss, the hurricane's constant traffic shut down
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can
00:26:49I'm pleased, he's not well
00:26:50I understand
00:26:51Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Dad, yes I'm right here
00:26:57Hi
00:26:58My daughter
00:27:00Please stay with me dad, please
00:27:03No
00:27:07Please wake up
00:27:10Dad, please
00:27:15Please don't leave me
00:27:17Mom
00:27:22What's your reaction to me?
00:27:24Dad
00:27:26Oh
00:27:27Mom
00:27:28Dad
00:27:29Mom
00:27:30Dad
00:27:30I'm so sorry
00:27:31I'm so sorry
00:27:32You're so sorry
00:27:32Me
00:27:33I'm so sorry
00:27:34I'm so sorry
00:27:34We're going to win
00:27:35Help me
00:27:36Help me
00:27:37Help me
00:27:38You're so sorry
00:27:39You're so sorry
00:27:40I'm sorry
00:27:43I'm so sorry
00:27:45Dad
00:27:45I'm so sorry
00:27:47You... What are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:58Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right. Sorry for the night.
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.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:21Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:26But 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.
00:28:45So 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.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:06Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight.
00:29:32I'll allow it.
00:29:35Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place your house.
00:29:38So enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition.
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:45All yours.
00:29:46This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:01Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:02Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay, then.
00:30:07I have one request.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:13Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:32Inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34You chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:48Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51It moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One.
00:30:55Two.
00:30:56Then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy.
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03No.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:11You literally haven't won the past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my.
00:31:17No.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22There we go.
00:31:22You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Glad to pull you in close.
00:31:28As we locked on.
00:31:29On your phone.
00:31:29All yourself with pins.
00:31:31I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:34Showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:45Um, who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:06Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich.
00:32:11You didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:23They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:27They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
00:32:36Oh, did no one tell you?
00:32:38He's promised.
00:32:40Old money stuff.
00:32:41Very retro.
00:32:42I didn't agree to that.
00:32:43You didn't have to.
00:32:44It's never up to us.
00:32:47Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:49Serena?
00:32:50I didn't hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh, an American.
00:32:55How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:18Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:25Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena, can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33She's using the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:33:49Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:13Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:29Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:57Hello?
00:34:58Is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously?
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:02Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:19James?
00:35:20Is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:22Just Miss Serena.
00:35:23Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:32Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:51Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's a weird one.
00:36:02Rooks move in straight lines.
00:36:11Do ships.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:15The text.
00:36:35Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:41I...
00:36:41I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm...
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:57Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:04Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:05That wasn't a mistake.
00:37:23If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:26I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:28I...
00:37:28I wasn't going to.
00:37:41I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:44What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:44Hiding feelings.
00:37:46I don't like that.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:19That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:30You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:44One, two, three, four...
00:38:48Paper planes...
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space.
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face.
00:39:02And have you with me.
00:39:07It may seem dark.
00:39:10But you always like my spark in my heart since the start.
00:39:23You're welcome.
00:39:23They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:39:29Honestly.
00:39:30I'm sorry.
00:39:32Oh.
00:39:33I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:45So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:56Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:40:00And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:15You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:21And you like it.
00:40:23I will be there for you, won't they?
00:40:27I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:40:31Hold you in my arms.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:34We 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.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51Kissing the servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:55Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:06On my property.
00:41:11I care about her.
00:41:13I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:13That's enough.
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:19We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:37For a girl you barely know.
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:41:46I'm asking you, do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little
00:41:57that is, just 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.
00:42:08Pelton, it's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with
00:42:19photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:27So, answer me again.
00:42:30Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:34Charles, what happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things.
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother.
00:42:59She's leaving.
00:43:01So are you.
00:43:01Wait, what, why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job, anything.
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:06You don't get it.
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:17Nothing.
00:43:18Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:21Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:44Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:50You don't just turn into a cold stranger because 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.
00:44:07Or what I have.
00:44:09You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this
00:44:26and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fun.
00:44:39But you?
00:44:39You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:45I'll survive the loss.
00:44:48Right.
00:44:51I should have known.
00:44:54Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:59You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:04This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:45:22In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:45:25Yeah, around me feels so heavy, but depleted.
00:45:34But I find this the place to test myself.
00:45:46Oops.
00:45:47Oops.
00:45:47Oh, sorry.
00:46:05Didn't see you there.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:11Hmm.
00:46:12Try begging.
00:46:13Begging.
00:46:13Begging.
00:46:13Begging.
00:46:13Begging.
00:46:15You know what?
00:46:19Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing.
00:46:26So dramatic.
00:46:29Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me?
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:35Oh.
00:46:35Oh.
00:46:35Oh.
00:46:35Oh.
00:46:36Oh.
00:46:36Oh.
00:46:36Oh.
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:39Oh.
00:46:39Oh.
00:46:39Oh.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:42Oh.
00:46:42Oh.
00:46:43Oh.
00:46:43Oh.
00:46:44Oh.
00:46:44Oh.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:55Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable, but one pair surprised me in a good way, Charles
00:47:03Kenwood and Alice Keaton. Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08If she loves the sound of her own voice, let her have it.
00:47:10I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait, I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:17Her essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet, like logic and chaos or silence and noise, different worlds, different rules.
00:47:31At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:38Confusion, curiosity.
00:47:41But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:05Miss Keaton?
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right. Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was...
00:48:13layered.
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder that good literature
00:48:19always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:25Hi, this is Alice Keaton. This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:27We've been following your work.
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:31Name your price. We'll... we'll make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's...
00:48:45kind of... insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:50Can...
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:55I want to.
00:48:56Please.
00:48:58Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08I'm sorry, but keep them.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:11I think the most generous offer we've ever given a disability right now.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:20You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview. I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:28You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:39I'm so excited.
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want her to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:17Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:25Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:43I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:49What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement.
00:51:01It's not happening.
00:51:03It's not up to you.
00:51:03You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:14I've got nothing.
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:49So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:57You loved her.
00:51:59Still do.
00:52:02Let it go, Serena.
00:52:05There's no point.
00:52:15I need a favour.
00:52:17Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:52:20And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:27Anything? No?
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.
00:52:37Where's Alice?
00:52:39When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:40Last night.
00:52:41She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:44James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01Who won't hurt you?
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview, that's it.
00:53:14Shit!
00:53:15Come back!
00:53:16Shit!
00:53:17Come back!
00:53:19I'll jump to you!
00:53:20Like, it's nearer, whatever's the wind.
00:53:21You know?
00:53:22It's nearer, whatever's the wind.
00:53:23It's nearer, whatever, what's going on?
00:53:24It's nearer, whatever's the wind.
00:53:25A lot of your dreams are different than you're missing.
00:53:26It's nearer, whatever's all the wind.
00:53:27But the wind is too much in it.
00:53:28It's nearer, whatever's the wind.
00:53:30In the wind.
00:53:31I remember how I met, didn't need a second guess.
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice.
00:53:56Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice.
00:54:00Alice.
00:54:06You're awake.
00:54:08Where, where am I?
00:54:10Local clinic. Passerby brought you in.
00:54:13Passerby?
00:54:15He found you on the side of the road.
00:54:17He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.
00:54:21Oh.
00:54:23The interview, what time is it?
00:54:25Easy, it's okay.
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university and sent in your writing samples.
00:54:31They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:54:33Wait, what, who?
00:54:35No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:54:37What did you say?
00:54:41Nothing.
00:54:43I just...
00:54:45had a dream.
00:54:47I got him!
00:54:48Oh, I knew it.
00:54:49Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:54:53He's not here.
00:54:54Oh, you didn't know?
00:54:55Know what?
00:54:56He left.
00:54:57A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:59Honestly, Ashley's been quieter without him.
00:55:01It's probably for the best.
00:55:03Come on.
00:55:05I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait.
00:55:06I thought that you should know I'd miss you.
00:55:08See?
00:55:09Tea?
00:55:10Oh, I knew it.
00:55:11Oh, I knew it.
00:55:12Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:55:14He's not here.
00:55:15Oh, you didn't know?
00:55:16Know what?
00:55:17He left a few days ago.
00:55:18Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:55:20Honestly, Astra has been quieter without him.
00:55:21It's probably for the best.
00:55:22Come on.
00:55:23I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait
00:55:27I thought that you should know that I would have
00:55:30And hang around
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:35Chaotic
00:55:37Unexpected
00:55:39And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:43It ended quietly
00:55:46Like summers always do
00:55:51And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice Keaton
00:56:10Thank you for having me
00:56:11No, your words moved millions
00:56:14They say your stories feel real
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:19Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:25No comment
00:56:26A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:29Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36Alright, alright
00:56:37No matter what you say
00:56:39You write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once
00:56:45I did
00:56:46That's why today when you're sharing the story behind Alice Keaton
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:53And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:56:56Congratulations Alice
00:57:08The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:11That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration
00:57:15Press
00:57:16Photos
00:57:17Maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually
00:57:19There'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
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:29Just once
00:57:31Tonight
00:57:327pm
00:57:33Good evening
00:57:45Good evening
00:57:50May I sit?
00:57:58Hey Mr. Noncelon
00:58:00Hi
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
00:58:20Hoping
00:58:22But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:27Or to reopen anything
00:58:29Hope you liked the attention
00:58:32I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:33Oh
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:37Thanks for keeping me
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:41You were 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
00:58:51You 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
00:59:10Charles
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
01:00:26What I have to do
01:00:27If you could go back
01:00:48If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:51No
01:00:58No
01:01:03I see
01:01:08I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power back then
01:01:14Not enough to protect you
01:01:17I couldn't watch you get crushed because 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?
01:02:04I 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, you know
01:02:31I'm still in love with you, you know
01:02:35Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:48You'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
01:02:56You 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
01:03:04Stop 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
01:03:34Tell us
01:03:34You'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
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:52I still can't believe this is happening
01:04:00I told you
01:04:01That you're the 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
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:38Respectfully
01:04:39I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:43Loudly
01:04:45Quietly
01:04:46Always
01:04:48Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:51Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean
01:04:56He did beat her at song
01:04:57I vowed to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:03Especially over 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 part of my life
01:05:13If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:17No you're not
01:05:17You're going to cry harder
01:05:18I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:30I 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 go change
01:06:01Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:04No
01:06:08No no no no
01:06:10That is not an invitation
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes
01:06:13Overruled
01:06:13You look much better without them
01:06:16To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:24In chaos
01:06:25In chapters
01:06:25You will find your way home
01:06:29Sometimes I wanna be on my own
01:06:34But I don't wanna die alone
01:06:37No
01:06:38No
01:06:39No
01:06:40No
01:06:41No
01:06:42No
01:06:43It's up to us
01:07:04To make sure that we can gain
01:07:06What's been passed through these books
01:07:08Help us develop
01:07:10Learn
01:07:10And grow
01:07:11Overruled
01:07:13And grow
01:07:16And gather up
