00:00I'm ready for the hangout, how about it?
00:28Everyone has their own world full of possibilities, to dream their own dreams, to be who they want to be, to love whoever they want.
00:43We all have the power to shape our own destiny, whether we use it or not.
00:58This is James Beaufort's voicemail. Leave me a message.
01:04James, I totally messed up. Dad's going to lose it. Are you still at Cyril's? I don't know what to do. I'm on my way right now.
01:12Oh yeah, there he is. The gentleman of the evening, the greatest, the gorgeous, and every woman's dream boyfriend, James Beaufort!
01:34So, was she as good as she looked, Tom? Hey, fuck the both of you. That's my sister you're talking about, man.
01:41Ooh, fucking chill out, Alistair. Yeah, I need to cool off. Oh shit!
01:46Go, man! Go!
01:49Hey, Lydia. We missed you last night. Hey, James. Your sister's here and she's bringing bad vibes to the party.
01:53Lydia!
01:55What?
01:57Hey.
01:58What's wrong?
02:00Tell me. Come on. Breathe.
02:02Really? Read the fucking room, dude.
02:04Hey. What's wrong?
02:05you last night hey James your sister's here and she's bringing bad vibes to the party Lydia
02:10Lyd what's wrong tell me come on breathe really read the fucking room dude hey what happened to
02:25you she was standing in front of us she just barged in yeah who Ruby Ruby Bell she saw us
02:33the British press will destroy me dad will kill me he won't forgive me for another scandal
02:38just breathe with me and now calmly from the beginning what's happened
02:42and who is this Ruby Bell
03:03would you like to sit here oh yeah thank you
03:15hello mr. Sutton Ruby enjoy the summer then I bought the books on the Oxford reading list and read every
03:33book twice so yeah reading for you this is enough material for a biography I think a little reference
03:43should be a problem everyone deserves a world full of opportunities and if there's one place where
03:54those opportunities begin it's at Oxford University the world welcomes those who have studied there
04:00and if everything goes as planned during this time then in less than 365 days I will be there
04:06Maxton Hall College is my entry ticket
04:09it's not just a school it's one of these schools
04:15oh
04:21I work diligently in my room for months
04:43I worked diligently in my room for months to be awarded a scholarship.
04:47Of course, that makes me the exception here.
04:52For generations, families like the Beauforts have had more money and power than some royal families.
04:57For them, every door swings open.
05:05British nobility, the son of the Manchester United coach, the cousin of the Emir of Dubai, they're all here.
05:12They go to the same parties, get the same jobs, and marry the same people.
05:16A microcosm of millionaires.
05:18And I almost forgot.
05:19Besides money and influence, my fellow students have another thing in common.
05:23I am invisible to them.
05:25I immediately realized this was my superpower.
05:28If I want to get to Oxford in less than a year, I can't afford to make any mistakes, especially in front of this crowd.
05:34The less they notice me, the better.
05:38Well, did you hand a tip?
05:39I just gave it to him.
05:40Oh, I wish I'd asked Mr. Sutton for a reference, too. He's so cool.
05:44Mrs. Campbell is just as good. Wasn't she her years valedictorian at Oxford?
05:47Yeah, in 1890.
05:50Lynn was one of them, too, until a year ago when her parents divorced and their business collapsed.
05:54How did she manage to get through it?
05:58No idea.
06:02At least that's what my internet research has revealed.
06:05But the collection of works on the theory of justice that you recommended to us best reflects the contents of the foundation of the metaphysics of morals and the critique of practical reason.
06:15Thank you. Yes, exactly.
06:17And that's why I always say, this here...
06:22This here is Google for the old folks.
06:25But back to Kant. Mr. Smith, what do you think?
06:28Kant's saying that we should all just do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
06:33That's the Bible, not Kant.
06:38What, though, if Kant's meaning of categorical imperative is his way of telling us we should ignore the consequences of what we're doing, if what we're doing feels right?
06:48Miss Bell?
06:50Reasoning was placed at the core of Kant's philosophy, not how we feel.
06:53Then maybe Kant is less relevant than we think, then.
06:57Humans are able to reason, but they usually make decisions on how they feel, though.
07:06That's what makes it so interesting.
07:08The fact that we can decide differently if we could do becomes the moral strength in us.
07:12Yeah. Eloquently, Bert.
07:14Okay. Let's turn to the next chapter.
07:24I can't believe the welcome party is already the day after tomorrow.
07:27I feel like I've spent half the summer talking to electricians and caterers that don't really know what they're doing.
07:32And don't forget the great selection of stone DJs. We really have to book the sober one today.
07:36Well, a resume and all that it involves.
07:38Damn it.
07:39What?
07:40I forgot something. I have to go and see Mr. Sutton.
07:43I'll see you later.
07:45Okay.
07:53Excuse me, sir.
08:13Roby, I...
08:16I can explain this.
08:18You see, all of this, I can explain it.
08:23It's really not what it looks like.
08:25Roby!
08:47You can wait here, Percy. It won't take that long.
09:08Very good.
09:09Ruby, is everything okay?
09:22Ruby.
09:24Okay, the first meeting of the event committee of the new term is hereby opened.
09:28How are things looking for the welcome party, everyone?
09:30The posters are up.
09:32Perfect.
09:33I finally got hold of the security company and talked to the technical experts.
09:36They'll take care of the screen and projector for the promo video.
09:40Kieran?
09:41Yeah, all done. I added some drone shots in there from above.
09:44Okay.
09:50Lexington wants us to include the lacrosse team in the video because of the chance of three back-to-back titles,
09:55so I will take care of the photos for that.
09:57The promo will finally be worth watching this year.
09:59James both all sweaty and up close.
10:09James Beaufort embodies everything that is wrong in the world of the rich.
10:28Immeasurable privilege, arrogance, and ignorance.
10:32Hey.
10:32Until now, I've been able to keep at least a room full of people between me and him.
10:36Do you mind if I have a minute with your friend?
10:39Sure.
10:48Okay.
10:48Robin, isn't it?
11:07Ruby.
11:08Yeah, I knew it was something with an R.
11:10Right, you know me.
11:12I know your name, if that's what you mean.
11:13I'm Lydia's brother.
11:16She's in your philosophy class, yeah?
11:20I want you to take this from me.
11:24And remember,
11:25what you saw in son's office never happened.
11:2810,000 should do it.
11:37We keep quiet until the end of the year.
11:39We'll double it.
11:40Wow.
11:44You're an even greater arsehole than I thought.
11:48Whoa, whoa.
11:49We're not finished.
11:52What about a Maserati and a Fabergé egg as well?
11:55Oh, come on.
11:55I know that you can make use of the cash.
11:57You could buy a new backpack, if you like.
12:02At the moment, I have 17 pounds and 28 pence in my backpack.
12:05And I don't need any more.
12:07Do you need change for the cafeteria?
12:10Hmm?
12:11No?
12:13Okay, then this belongs back in your trust fund, I would say.
12:16Are you serious?
12:17Are you serious?
12:27Come on, come on.
12:48He was trying to buy me, but I don't need his money.
13:08I earn my own.
13:11Our sisters, we compliment each other well.
13:13You're rich and I'm pretty.
13:15Shouldn't you be a mess for another 15 minutes?
13:16Ms. Wamsley had a nervous breakdown because Victor set up a Tinder date for her.
13:20During school.
13:20So we finished early.
13:22I know hearing stuff like that makes you miss your old school.
13:33You should have been there.
13:34It was hilarious.
13:35Ah, my two little elves.
13:36Hi, give me two minutes.
13:38I'm going to quickly get changed.
13:39Come back, though.
13:40We're making dinner.
13:46Oh, my God.
14:07Hiya!
14:32And?
14:34I loved it.
14:36Traumatic, but great.
14:37When I read it at your age, it turned my world upside down.
14:41You liking Death Note?
14:45You're only in the middle.
14:47All right.
14:47It took me about a month to realize I had to read it from the back.
14:50So considering that, I'm pretty far in.
14:52After James Joyce, you should be happy that it was under a thousand pages.
14:57Ta-da!
14:58Wow.
14:59Amber, you look so gorgeous.
15:01Yeah, how I was born, you know.
15:02But what about what I'm wearing?
15:03Beautiful.
15:04I'm not quite done yet, but I think it will turn out nice.
15:06Maybe it was a lace or a bow or...
15:07Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
15:09That's actually my blouse, though.
15:10You've had it for 15 years.
15:11I think it's only fair that I should inherit it now.
15:16Okay.
15:19A toast to our thieving and multi-talented daughters.
15:21Who knows how we turned out so well?
15:25Dad hasn't been upstairs in years.
15:38The stair lift provided by the health insurance company broke down just a few months after the accident.
15:44It must drive him insane, but he never so much as mentions it.
15:48That's why I haven't told him that I'm saving up for a new one.
15:50The one.
15:51He never so could have been.
15:52I never know.
15:54Well, luckily, I've had just been able to hide that.
15:55It's been a fun.
15:56That's what I said.
15:58He never did.
15:59He never did.
16:01He never texted over her.
16:01He never texted over her.
16:02He never expected that he ever died.
16:04He never texted over her.
16:36Can I have everything for my letter of recommendation, sir?
16:53Yeah, naturally.
16:59I've already written the letter of recommendation.
17:06I just need the documents.
17:17Listen, Ruby, there's absolutely nothing in this I don't believe.
17:20The choices you make are no business of mine.
17:26But if someone finds out about this, the recommendation is pointless to me.
17:31I'll find someone else.
17:41Why don't you go back to Sutton and ask...
17:52I told you, I gave him the wrong documents and he doesn't have enough time anymore.
17:55That's so useless.
17:56It was my mistake.
17:58Ever since the thing with Beaufort, you've been so weird.
18:00What happened anyway?
18:02Nothing.
18:03Absolutely nothing.
18:05I bet their headmaster, Lexington, hasn't given a recommendation before.
18:08Nobody would dare ask.
18:09Look, that's exactly why I'm doing it.
18:25Let's renegotiate.
18:27Is this a daily ritual now?
18:30Don't give me money.
18:31I'll just give it back.
18:31Okay, that's enough of the Mother Teresa performance.
18:33Just tell me what you want from my family, will you?
18:37I guess to start with, I'd be happy with a restraining order for you.
18:41And Mother Teresa would have taken the money and given it to those who deserved it.
18:44You should know.
18:46You think it's a joke?
18:49Everybody has a price.
18:52What's yours, then?
19:01Now, what's this?
19:11A little experience with the oddest single guy at school.
19:18Is this the first time you've prostituted yourself?
19:21Does it happen often?
19:22I wasn't going to take your money.
19:23As I happen to know, you're a little bit short right now.
19:26Go to hell, Beaufort.
19:28Is that you trying to have a go at dirty talk?
19:32Come one step closer towards me.
19:36And I'll kick you in the bollocks.
19:39You didn't get to the point, Robin.
19:41My name is Ruby, for God's sake.
19:42I'm not wasting my whole day here talking to you.
19:49If this means you've changed your mind, sorry, but I don't know if I'm in the mood anymore.
19:56Okay, I'll tell you my price.
19:59I just want you away from me.
20:02Assume that anything less than two meters is too close.
20:06I never want you and me to be seen together again.
20:08I don't know.
20:17I don't know.
20:29I don't know.
20:30Okay.
20:30I don't know.
21:00Boys, everyone, come on, hurry up.
21:06So next year, most of you will end up being Oxford and Cambridge opponents.
21:11This is your last chance to rewrite the Magston Hall history books.
21:17Beaufort's my winner here.
21:18As for the past two years, make sure that this team is one that doesn't lose heart.
21:23So go out there and crush some Eastview balls.
21:27Everybody understand that?
21:28Let's go, Magston!
21:30Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Magston! Let's go! Let's go, boys!
21:40Don't even think of getting revenge from McCormack, okay?
21:45Get out there!
21:48Don't let it bother you.
21:49I'm back to the second leg of Maxton Hall vs. Eastview College in this fighting match.
22:02After the last narrow victory for Eastview, the only question is, will it be sweet revenge for Maxton Hall here on their own turn?
22:08I don't need ties
22:10Cause I know I'm mad
22:13This could be after
22:15But tonight, it'd be so
22:18Come on, boys!
22:20Come on, boss!
22:22Come on!
22:24Come on!
22:26Come on!
22:28Come on!
22:30Come on!
22:32Come on!
22:34Come on!
22:36Come on!
22:38Come on!
22:40Don't let go
22:42Yeah!
22:44Yeah!
22:46Yeah!
22:48That's your blood strike!
22:50That's one million to make it all!
22:52Yeah!
22:56Tell me where the fuck is
22:58Tell me where the fuck is
23:00Can you hear me now
23:04Can you hear me now
23:06Tell me where the fuck is
23:08Tell me where the fuck is
23:10Can you hear me now
23:12Can you hear me now
23:14Can you hear me now
23:16Can you hear me now
23:18Are you kidding me?
23:19You still don't
23:23I still don't
23:24I don't know
23:25Ever since the change
23:26of coaching staff
23:27Two turns ago
23:28Ever since the change
23:28of coaching staff
23:29Two turns ago
23:30This team has made a
23:31gigantic leap forward
23:32Coach Freeman deserves
23:33to be extremely proud
23:34of his boys
23:35Alistair, no!
23:38Alistair, no!
23:49McCormack, you princess.
23:56Oh, dear, I didn't know what is going on here.
23:58Come on, man!
23:59It was what you wanted to do!
24:00Calm down!
24:01What are you doing?
24:02That was clearly a blatant attack.
24:04What did I tell you?
24:05What did I tell you, huh?
24:06Ellington!
24:07What's all this shit, then?
24:08He almost broke Keshe's neck in the last game.
24:10It's only fair to get him back for that.
24:12Ellington!
24:13Get your stupid blood the arse over here!
24:15Off the field!
24:18As McCormack receives medical attention,
24:20Ellington has quite rightly been sent off the field.
24:24The tension has dispersed,
24:26and the mood seems to have calmed down again.
24:28So play where life continues.
24:34If you're looking for all the action, it's over there.
24:39Thanks.
24:40But I preferred it when they were wrestling out there.
24:45McCormack was heading for even more of a battering,
24:47but the ref quickly got involved.
24:49If she was playing for Eastview, they'd have a greater chance.
24:56They'd have a better chance.
24:57They were flying at the top.
24:58They're flying at just over there...
24:59They're flying at the top.
25:00They were flying at the top.
25:01What was it, that was the best for?
25:02Will they be flying at the top?
25:05They're flying!
25:06And then they're flying at the top.
25:07I'm flying at the top.
25:08There's no reason why they're flying at the top.
25:09It's just something but the good enough.
25:10Alaster?
25:11i can tell that you're actually a hardcore lacrosse fan oh yeah i've been pitch side for
25:32all the games haven't you seen me i'm normally a bit busy out there yeah beating up your position i
25:39guess it was nice meeting you alistair
25:50sir do you have a minute you can see that i'm busy miss bell it'll only take two minutes i promise
26:02i wanted to ask if you could write me a letter of recommendation for my oxford application
26:07you've left it very late in the day for this to happen you're the best person at this school to
26:13write a recommendation letter i thought i'd at least see if you had a little time we both know
26:17you're a very good student exemplary in fact but you're not doing enough to earn my recommendation
26:21at this time not for oxford come to think of it if these last two years i've hardly even been aware
26:28of your presence at maxwell miss bell do you know why that is i'm chairing the event committee this
26:34year among other things with lynn wine oh yes right right how's it going with the welcome party
26:40the prep is nearly done this event is the very first impression that our new students and their
26:46parents get of our school before thousands of pounds are handed over each year to be a student here
26:50this year we have a few very prominent new students so it's important that it all goes without a hitch
26:55i understand if you show that you're a good team leader and everything goes as i wish
26:59i see no reason why i couldn't produce this letter for you again
27:03mr can you do me a favor
27:11move back out of my picture
27:15yeah
27:28What were you doing with Alistair?
27:49Nothing.
27:51Why?
27:52I don't know what your idea is, Belle.
27:55And being honest, I don't really care.
27:56Someone like you can't touch people like us.
28:00Because you're a nobody from some backwater hovel.
28:03No connections and even less money.
28:06So do what you want to do.
28:26I don't know.
28:31I don't know.
28:32I don't know.
29:02Are you playing for the rugby team secretly?
29:07Eleven to five.
29:09Don't measure success based on wins but on what improvement you're making.
29:14Plato?
29:16Tiger Woods.
29:18What do you know about Ruby Bell?
29:34Nothing, other than that she's chairing the stupid event committee.
29:38The one the school parties are organised by?
29:44Is Sutton kept quiet?
29:47Yep.
29:49It's like nothing ever happened, yeah?
29:53It's because it didn't.
30:17And it's easy to forgive completely.
30:22But I couldn't let it last.
30:25And you never grow from that.
30:28So I had to take the space and finally get away.
30:35Can I play that a beautiful moment?
30:38Stand in the still of the song.
30:41Breathe out and take a moment.
30:44Living for it more.
30:47The elephant is one of the strongest animals in the world.
30:53And that's why the metaphor of the chained elephant has always fascinated me.
30:59An elephant could easily tear the stake out of the ground that it's chained to.
31:08When I need them to.
31:10The only thing I can do.
31:12But no matter how big and strong it is, its conviction that it is powerless keeps it chained in place.
31:18I'm building something further from me every single day.
31:24People are no different.
31:26Our fears and prejudices keep us from realising our full potential.
31:30From following our dreams.
31:32I am lucky since I know that there is only a small stake holding me.
31:36And I'm working on pulling it out little by little a bit more every year.
31:54I won't let myself be chained to a stake.
32:01And certainly not by someone like James Beaufort.
32:05I lost.
32:31Are you feeling down?
32:33Only this evening stands between me and my recommendation for Oxford.
32:45And I'll make sure everything, and I mean everything, goes smoothly.
32:51Keep going.
33:03I always sing, so I'm sorry, but if you miss me, but I've got things to do, I just can't do that without you.
33:20Yeah, I'd do anything for a lady then.
33:22Shall we go up, Jones?
33:23Yeah.
33:24Let's go then.
33:25To all my fans!
33:27See ya!
33:33Can I, uh, can I talk to you for a minute?
33:47I'm referring to you, yes, from the past.
33:53Oh, what's his name?
33:55Oh, so do you miss me tonight?
34:00Are you feeling blessed and bright?
34:04Before I hit the deck, I just thought I'd check
34:09That it's just me in the candlelight
34:16What you saw before was absolutely unacceptable.
34:25I knew you were secretly into brunettes.
34:27But it's really not what you think.
34:30Miss Belfort and I, I mean, we didn't meet as teacher and student.
34:34We'd met each other elsewhere previously.
34:36Sir, it's nothing to do with...
34:37What you saw will never happen again.
34:39But, I want you to know that I'm very sorry to have put you in such an uncomfortable situation.
34:45Miss Belfort?
34:46Miss Belfort?
34:51My compliments.
34:54You know it's exactly how I would have done it.
34:56Yeah, I'm really passionate about it.
34:59Thank you, sir.
35:01I am a mystery
35:14I am a fire
35:18Love is destruction
35:20This war is mine
35:24This war is mine
35:25I am a mystery
35:27I am a fire
35:30Love is destruction
35:33This war is mine
35:36This war is mine
35:38I am a mystery
35:39I am a mystery
36:00I am a mystery
36:04I am a mystery
36:06I am a fire
36:07Stop, stop, thank you
36:09That's funny enough
36:10Love is destruction
36:11This war is mine
36:14This war is mine
36:16I am a mystery
36:17I am a mystery
36:20I am a mystery
36:34I am a mystery
36:37Oh, my God, he's ruined the shit.
36:47Oh, my God, he's ruined the shit.
37:01Let's go.
37:05Oh, hi, Robin.
37:12Is everything okay?
37:13Do you even care that we've all worked our arses off for this special event?
37:16Well, you didn't want to strip tease from me.
37:18I assume that one of these guys might be to your particular preference.
37:21If I can't make you keep quiet, Robin, then I'll do everything I can to make sure no one believes you if you do open your mouth.
37:28Hey.
37:35Lexington wants to talk to you.
37:38Both of you.
37:45You have both disappointed me immensely this evening, as I'm sure you know.
37:58That's more than enough smugness from you, Mr. Beaufort.
38:01Someone saw you with the DJ paying her off.
38:07Oops.
38:09So you've earned yourself a lacrosse team suspension.
38:12And, Miss Bell, your letter of recommendation out of the question.
38:18I would expect you to have an event like this under control as chair of the event committee.
38:24But thanks to Mr. Beaufort's clever little prank, I don't have anything positive to report about your organizational abilities.
38:31Unless, of course, there's something else about this situation I should be aware of.
38:37About you.
38:38Or Mr. Beaufort.
38:39About you.
38:40Or Mr. Beaufort.
38:59No sir.
39:00I should have done better, and I take your guidance very seriously.
39:12So rest assured I'll give the upcoming donor gala full attention to detail.
39:15And then you'll have a chance to form a better opinion about my organizational ability.
39:19Another catastrophe would simply be shut down immediately.
39:35I can assure you that that wouldn't go on.
39:41Not if I'm in charge of it.
39:43If that's true, then Mr. Beaufort can invest his newfound free time in the event committee alongside you, Miss Bell,
39:53to make up for his unwanted intervention.
39:56And both of you, attending to every last detail, will deliver a spectacular event
40:01to repair this school's reputation which you've just sullied with your reckless behavior.
40:08Then we'll see about your recommendation, Miss Bell.
40:11It's impossible to use them on my community.
40:13If you think I'm going to seal them with them while they do fucking cocktail party plans!
40:15This is absolutely bad!
40:22I suppose you should be happy.
40:23Amused a little, yeah.
40:24As if I'm going to let someone like you give me instructions.
40:28Because you're a Beaufort man, yeah?
40:30Exactly, yeah.
40:32You can belittle me all you want.
40:34I'm not scared, don't worry.
40:37I do a really good job on this committee,
40:39and I'm not going to waste my opportunity to go to Oxford for anyone.
40:44So...
40:48Do what you want to do.
40:49Do what you want to do.
40:50Do what you want to do.
40:56You want a war, Ruby Bell?
41:02You've got one.
41:03Do what you want to call the
41:18The Queen of the City of the planet.
41:22We want you.
