00:09:16Ashford Institute please

00:09:17please

00:09:18thank you

00:09:22who needs that entitled brat anyway

00:09:25sir

00:09:26you called the cab

00:09:27why not just give Miss Keaton a lift

00:09:35why not just give Miss Keaton a lift

00:09:37and have the whole school go crazy

00:09:39she's new

00:09:40everybody's already talking

00:09:42so you're worried about her?

00:09:44you're overthinking

00:09:46I just don't like drama

00:09:53asshole

00:09:55hey

00:09:57morning Kloss

00:09:59back to Golding

00:10:01remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies

00:10:02Mr. Kenwood

00:10:04care to share what you found so amusing?

00:10:06not particularly

00:10:08oh

00:10:09I insist

00:10:10you seem very entertained by Golding

00:10:12I'm not entertained by Golding

00:10:14I'm not entertained by Golding sir

00:10:16on the contrary

00:10:17I think his ending is

00:10:19weak

00:10:21wait wait

00:10:23you wish to embed it?

00:10:24quiet

00:10:25that's an interesting take

00:10:26explain

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

00:10:28something honest

00:10:30but in the end

00:10:31he backed out

00:10:32he could have left the boys on the island

00:10:33forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability

00:10:34let them choose survival

00:10:36or death

00:10:38but instead he gave them a rescue boat

00:10:40slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery

00:10:42it's a waste

00:10:44don't you think?

00:10:45I'm delightfully surprised Charles

00:10:46didn't think you had such strong literary opinions

00:10:47I'm always a model student sir

00:10:48let's not get ahead of ourselves

00:10:50so

00:10:51a critique of Golding's mercy

00:10:52anyone disagree?

00:10:54no

00:10:55no

00:10:56no

00:10:57no

00:10:58no

00:10:59no

00:11:00no

00:11:01no

00:11:02no

00:11:03no

00:11:04no

00:11:05no

00:11:06no

00:11:07no

00:11:08no

00:11:09no

00:11:10no

00:11:11no

00:11:12no

00:11:13no

00:11:14no

00:11:15no

00:11:16no

00:11:17no

00:11:18no

00:11:19no

00:11:20no

00:11:21no

00:11:22no

00:11:23no

00:11:24no

00:11:25no

00:11:26no

00:11:27no

00:11:28no

00:11:29no

00:11:30no

00:11:31no

00:11:32I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way

00:11:36it's not mercy it's irony

00:11:38how so

00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending

00:11:44you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster

00:11:47Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved

00:11:51that's an interesting take Miss Keaton

00:11:54you still think it's a harsh critique?

00:11:56in some ways but not harsh enough

00:11:59yes

00:12:00yes

00:12:01yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathized with them

00:12:06and the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much

00:12:11so yeah I don't think Golding pushed far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending

00:12:16thank you Miss Keaton

00:12:21well said

00:12:23anyone else?

00:12:24both opinions are valid

00:12:27okay that's kind of epic

00:12:29and let's not forget

00:12:30Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book

00:12:33good literature will always divide opinions

00:12:37what's happening to me?

00:12:40okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me?

00:12:59well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles

00:13:04a what now?

00:13:05you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's scene in years

00:13:09we're not even fighting

00:13:10well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected

00:13:15begged to sit next to him got rejected again

00:13:18and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears

00:13:26you were there Sherry that is not what happened

00:13:30doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe

00:13:33and they want Charles to be flawless

00:13:35untouchable

00:13:36wow

00:13:37is massage only like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?

00:13:41honestly both

00:13:43but seriously Alice

00:13:45some people already see you as a threat

00:16:04It's fine.

00:16:06You're fine.

00:16:22Hey, Mr. Nonchalant, are you happy with how we end?

00:16:40What are you doing here?

00:16:45Can you get off me first?

00:16:52You're welcome.

00:16:58I didn't say thank you.

00:17:00I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.

00:17:02Someone just dumped swamp water on me.

00:17:05Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.

00:17:07You smell like a biology experiment.

00:17:10Wow.

00:17:11You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.

00:17:15Wouldn't recommend it.

00:17:16You're heavier than you look.

00:17:19I hope you pull your shoulder.

00:17:22Are you okay?

00:17:28No.

00:17:29But I will be.

00:17:31Someone did this on purpose.

00:17:33What do you think, golden boy?

00:17:36Don't worry, I can handle it.

00:17:37You shouldn't have to.

00:17:42I'm...

00:17:42sorry.

00:17:50Sorry.

00:17:52Did you just apologize to me?

00:17:58Don't get used to it.

00:17:59I wouldn't dream of it.

00:18:03Alice?

00:18:04Over here.

00:18:06Oh my god.

00:18:08You okay?

00:18:11Why are you drenched?

00:18:12Yeah, I just took a weird shower.

00:18:16Tap exploded.

00:18:19Come on.

00:18:20Let's get you home.

00:18:30Alice Keaton, right?

00:18:32I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.

00:18:36I know how this place works.

00:19:01If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.

00:19:06I'll look into it.

00:19:07I can't believe someone actually locked you in.

00:19:20That's insane.

00:19:22Where the hell was the school when this was happening?

00:19:24Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.

00:19:27Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.

00:19:32Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.

00:19:51Being a scholarship student has its perks.

00:19:55Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.

00:20:03Hey, we miss you in Paris.

00:20:06Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.

00:20:08But sometimes, being here means staying behind.

00:20:12And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.

00:20:17Have fun.

00:20:20Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.

00:20:27The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.

00:20:33So, yeah, I didn't go.

00:20:35What are you doing here?

00:20:58Do you not believe in shirts?

00:21:00Do you not believe in dignity?

00:21:02It's comfortable.

00:21:03You look like a rejected Ewok.

00:21:05This, this is not even your kitchen.

00:21:08And this is not even your house.

00:21:09And yet, you're here, dressed like this.

00:21:12Just don't, look, go away.

00:21:14Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.

00:21:17What do you guys call it?

00:21:19Um, buzzkill?

00:21:22Cockblock.

00:21:23You're insufferable.

00:21:24You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.

00:21:26You know what?

00:21:27I don't get it.

00:21:28Why didn't you go on that tour?

00:21:29I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.

00:21:32Why do you think?

00:21:35Where would I go?

00:21:39I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.

00:21:44Florence.

00:21:45Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.

00:21:50Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.

00:21:54Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.

00:21:59Next stop, Napoli, marvel at Pompeii.

00:22:03Pretend you're shocked, ancient people had plumbing.

00:22:06The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance.

00:22:11And naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.

00:22:19That's word for word.

00:22:21I told you, I've done this tour so many times I could run it.

00:22:25Okay, but still, it's Europe.

00:22:27Most people would kill for that chance.

00:22:28Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.

00:22:32Twice.

00:22:33Also, I hate the accommodations.

00:22:35Aren't they all five-star hotels?

00:22:37Standard rooms in five-star hotels?

00:22:40No, thank you.

00:22:42Wow.

00:22:43Some were born in Rome, huh?

00:22:45That's unfortunate.

00:22:45It's a very chaotic city.

00:22:47One word of advice?

00:22:49Shut up.

00:22:49It's two words.

00:22:50You're weird.

00:22:53You're loud.

00:22:54You're annoying.

00:22:54You're in my kitchen.

00:22:55You have three other kitchens.

00:22:57And I prefer this one.

00:22:59Just for today.

00:23:00Come back when you've got a shirt on.

00:23:02Come back with normal clothes on.

00:23:03You didn't have to come.

00:23:04Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:23:15That's a Charles.

00:23:16Roads are flooded.

00:23:17Staff won't make it tonight.

00:23:18Will you be alright sorting dinner?

00:23:20I've got it sorted.

00:23:36Jesus, what are you doing?

00:23:38Relax.

00:23:41I'm here to make a deal.

00:23:42What deal?

00:23:43You nearly gave me a heart attack.

00:23:48You'll survive.

00:23:50I'm not selling my body.

00:23:56I'm not selling my body.

00:24:02Wow.

00:24:03I am deeply offended.

00:24:06That thought disgusts me.

00:24:08Then what are you doing?

00:24:09The staff's off tonight.

00:24:11I'm buying dinner.

00:24:12Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...

00:24:18No, I'm...

00:24:19Jesus.

00:24:21Wait.

00:24:22You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?

00:24:25I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snog Chewbacca.

00:24:29You know what?

00:24:29Dinner's cancelled.

00:24:33Are you sure about that?

00:24:34I present to you meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.

00:24:41You're welcome.

00:24:43Interesting combo.

00:24:44Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.

00:24:47Well, it's good.

00:24:56Was that a compliment?

00:24:58Although, I am obliged to inform you.

00:25:01Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.

00:25:04It's American.

00:25:04And french fries, likely born in South America.

00:25:08You should read more.

00:25:10Put it down.

00:25:12I paid for it.

00:25:14You really just have to win every argument, don't you?

00:25:16To be fair, you make it very easy.

00:25:20It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.

00:25:23You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.

00:25:26I'll make sure.

00:25:34Hey, Alice, it's fine.

00:25:44You're fine.

00:25:51911, what's for your emergency?

00:25:58911, what's for your emergency?

00:26:00It's my dad.

00:26:01He needs help.

00:26:02He just had a stroke.

00:26:03Okay, miss.

00:26:04Hurricane constant traffic shut down.

00:26:05We'll get to you as soon as we can, right?

00:26:07Please, he's not well.

00:26:08I understand.

00:26:10Can you confirm your address?

00:26:12Dad?

00:26:13Dad, yes, I'm right here.

00:26:15Hi.

00:26:17My daughter.

00:26:18Please stay with me, Dad.

00:26:20Please.

00:26:25No.

00:26:27Please, wake up.

00:26:28Dad, please.

00:26:33Please don't leave me.

00:26:35I don't know.

00:27:05What are you doing here?

00:27:13You were crying.

00:27:15Loudly.

00:27:17Kind of hard to ignore.

00:27:19Right.

00:27:21Sorry for the night.

00:27:23Wait, you wanna snarky come back?

00:27:25Not tonight, I'm too tired.

00:27:27If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.

00:27:31You were calling for your dad, right?

00:27:34Hurricane hit New York.

00:27:38Power went down, traffic froze.

00:27:40Dad had a stroke.

00:27:42But he couldn't get help in time.

00:27:46I sat there with a candle while he laid there.

00:27:52Peaceful.

00:27:54Like he was asleep.

00:27:58But he wasn't.

00:28:00So that's why you and your mum moved here?

00:28:06This used to be our hometown.

00:28:08After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.

00:28:18What are you doing?

00:28:20Come on.

00:28:24Come on.

00:28:26Wait.

00:28:28I thought the peril was out.

00:28:30It is.

00:28:32We have our own generator.

00:28:34Wow.

00:28:36Rich people houses her.

00:28:38Just for tonight, I'll allow it.

00:28:40Allow what?

00:28:42You can call this place your house.

00:28:44So enjoy it.

00:28:46Stephen King's first edition.

00:28:48Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.

00:28:50Jane Austen's notes.

00:28:52All yours.

00:28:53This is your home.

00:28:54Alice Keaton.

00:28:56Careful.

00:28:57Almost sounded sweet.

00:28:58Don't push it.

00:28:59Okay, then.

00:29:00Okay, then.

00:29:01Let's go.

00:29:02Let's go.

00:29:03Let's go.

00:29:04Let's go.

00:29:05Let's go.

00:29:06Let's go.

00:29:07Let's go.

00:29:08Let's go.

00:29:09Let's go.

00:29:10Let's go.

00:29:11Alice Keaton.

00:29:17Careful.

00:29:18Almost sounded sweet.

00:29:20Don't push it.

00:29:21Okay, then.

00:29:25I have...

00:29:27one request.

00:29:31What is it?

00:29:39Are you ever going to make a move?

00:29:40Wait.

00:29:41Give me a second.

00:29:42I'm thinking.

00:29:43You had one wish.

00:29:45Anything in the world.

00:29:47And in the middle of a thunderstorm,

00:29:49inside a literal mansion,

00:29:51you chose chess.

00:29:53Yeah.

00:29:54Got a problem?

00:29:55It's just so cool.

00:29:56Like, spies or genius villains in movies.

00:29:59It's literally a board game.

00:30:01Says the guy who owns a custom set.

00:30:03Wait, does the knight go diagonally?

00:30:07For the tenth time,

00:30:08it moves in an L shape.

00:30:12One,

00:30:13two,

00:30:14then turn.

00:30:16There.

00:30:18Happy?

00:30:19Ecstatic.

00:30:22That's a suicide.

00:30:23Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.

00:30:25You are playing checkers at a chessboard.

00:30:27Still beating you in sarcasm.

00:30:28You literally haven't won any past arguments.

00:30:30Golding disagrees.

00:30:32It's going to be a long night.

00:30:34Oh my...

00:30:35No.

00:30:36Why? What's wrong with that?

00:30:37You can't do that.

00:30:38I don't know that. Can I do that?

00:30:39Oh my god.

00:30:40Oh my god.

00:31:00Maybe...

00:31:01He's not so awful after all.

00:31:10Um...

00:31:11Who are you?

00:31:18What are you doing here?

00:31:19Well, your parents said you were still at home.

00:31:21Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.

00:31:24Who needs Italy and France again, right?

00:31:26When did you get back?

00:31:27Last night.

00:31:28From Zurich.

00:31:29You didn't answer my messages.

00:31:33I missed you.

00:31:34Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.

00:31:36Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.

00:31:39Your parents were so thrilled.

00:31:41They didn't tell me about this.

00:31:42I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.

00:31:45They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.

00:31:48You know.

00:31:49Considering the engagement.

00:31:51And all.

00:31:52Engagement.

00:31:54Oh.

00:31:55Did no one tell you?

00:31:56He's promised.

00:31:58Old Manister.

00:31:59Very retro.

00:32:00I...

00:32:01I didn't agree to that.

00:32:02You didn't have to.

00:32:03It's never up to us.

00:32:06Where did you find this little toy?

00:32:08Serena?

00:32:09I didn't hear you, you know.

00:32:10Oh.

00:32:11An American.

00:32:13How...

00:32:14Refreshing.

00:32:19Goodbye.

00:32:20Wait.

00:32:37Where are you going?

00:32:38You still owe me breakfast?

00:32:39You only paid for dinner.

00:32:41I have homework.

00:32:43Goodbye.

00:32:47Your little toy has quite the temper.

00:32:49Serena, can you please just stop?

00:32:51What?

00:32:52Teasing the help?

00:32:59That's her.

00:33:00That's the one from Kenwood's house.

00:33:01Was she like the maid or something?

00:33:02Oh my god.

00:33:03What's wrong with people?

00:33:04They're saying you live with Charles.

00:33:05Oh and Serena.

00:33:06What about her?

00:33:07Well apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.

00:33:19Of course she did.

00:33:20Careful Alice.

00:33:21You're starting to look desperate.

00:33:22You're starting to look desperate.

00:33:23They're saying you live with Charles.

00:33:25Oh, and Serena.

00:33:26What about her?

00:33:28Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.

00:33:31Of course she did.

00:33:45Careful, Alice.

00:33:46You're starting to look desperate.

00:33:53Come to the music room.

00:34:05Urgent.

00:34:06I just remembered I need to check something.

00:34:08You guys go ahead.

00:34:10Yeah, okay.

00:34:16Hello!

00:34:17Is someone there?

00:34:19Seriously!

00:34:20They're getting old!

00:34:23Wait.

00:34:34Music room, what?

00:34:38James?

00:34:39Is anybody in here earlier?

00:34:41Just Miss Serena.

00:34:42Said she was waiting for you.

00:34:44Sir?

00:34:46Sir, it's raining!

00:34:47Come on, Alice.

00:34:59You're fine.

00:35:02You're not that girl again.

00:35:10Wait.

00:35:10Can you remind me one more time?

00:35:13Okay.

00:35:14Rooks move in straight lines.

00:35:16Yeah.

00:35:17Bishops move diagonally.

00:35:19And knights...

00:35:19The knight's the weird one.

00:35:26Rooks.

00:35:28Straight lines.

00:35:30Bishops.

00:35:32Diagonally.

00:35:33Hello?

00:35:34Hello?

00:35:35Hello?

00:35:35Nice.

00:35:52The text...

00:35:56Are you okay?

00:35:57Are you hurt?

00:35:58I...

00:35:59I'm okay. I saw the text and I thought...

00:36:02I didn't see the message.

00:36:04Serena took my phone. I didn't know. I'm sorry.

00:36:07I'm okay.

00:36:10You're gonna catch a cold.

00:36:12You're freezing.

00:36:12You didn't have to come.

00:36:16Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:36:29That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.

00:36:45I wasn't going to.

00:36:59I'm really bad at this, you know.

00:37:03What? Kissing?

00:37:04Hiding feelings.

00:37:05I don't like that.

00:37:06Dump those Ewok pyjamas.

00:37:29Oh, you wish.

00:37:32Seriously, it's a cock block.

00:37:35You kissed me.

00:37:38That's basically consent to everything.

00:37:46Dangerous words, Keaton.

00:37:48I might hold you to that.

00:37:59You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.

00:38:02The list is on the board.

00:38:05One, two, three, four...

00:38:08Are you okay?

00:38:12Fly me to outer space.

00:38:16That's where I'll see your face.

00:38:21And have you with me.

00:38:26It may seem dark.

00:38:30But you always like my spark in my heart since the start.

00:38:41You're welcome.

00:38:46They're either enemies or secretly married.

00:38:49Honestly?

00:38:51Right?

00:38:51I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.

00:38:57No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.

00:39:00They all just let me down.

00:39:02But baby, you saved me.

00:39:05Till I'm brand new.

00:39:07Everything's so different now.

00:39:10So, the night goes in an L shape, right?

00:39:15Why is that the only one you remember?

00:39:17Because it's weird.

00:39:19And I like weird.

00:39:21You're cheating.

00:39:36I'm winning.

00:39:37There's a difference.

00:39:39You are very distracting.

00:39:40And you like it.

00:39:42How would it be for you, babe?

00:39:46I'll be the night of the darkest days.

00:39:51Hold you in my arms.

00:39:53Charles!

00:39:54We need to talk.

00:40:03I expected poor judgment.

00:40:06But this in my house?

00:40:08It isn't what it looks like.

00:40:09No.

00:40:11Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.

00:40:14Enlighten me then, Charles.

00:40:16We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.

00:40:19Imagine our surprise walking in on this.

00:40:22She isn't just...

00:40:24You have no right to barge in.

00:40:26On my property.

00:40:30I care about her.

00:40:32I'm not ashamed of that.

00:40:33That's enough.

00:40:37Why do you care?

00:40:38We're protecting our son's future.

00:40:41And our name.

00:40:43You think this protects me?

00:40:44We think she does not belong in your world.

00:40:51Then maybe I don't either.

00:40:54You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?

00:40:58Yes.

00:41:01Then, are you sure she's ready?

00:41:12I'm asking you, do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?

00:41:20What are you talking about?

00:41:21You left us no choice, son.

00:41:23You shouldn't disobey your father.

00:41:28Pelton.

00:41:29It's Frederick Kenwood.

00:41:31Ah, Mr. Kenwood.

00:41:32How can I help?

00:41:33If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?

00:41:43Yes, sir.

00:41:47So, answer me again.

00:41:49Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?

00:42:05Charles.

00:42:06What happened?

00:42:07Did your parents say something?

00:42:08Are they mad?

00:42:08Is everything okay?

00:42:10Pack your things.

00:42:13You can't stay here anymore.

00:42:15What?

00:42:17My parents fired your mother.

00:42:19She's leaving.

00:42:21So are you.

00:42:21Wait, what?

00:42:22Why?

00:42:23Is it because of us?

00:42:24We can fix this.

00:42:25I'll get a job, anything.

00:42:26Stop, stop it.

00:42:26You don't get it.

00:42:28If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.

00:42:32Okay?

00:42:33No card.

00:42:34No trust.

00:42:35No support.

00:42:37Nothing.

00:42:37Then, then we'll figure it out.

00:42:40We don't need all that.

00:42:41We can...

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

00:42:48So that's what this was.

00:42:50Just fun until it got inconvenient.

00:42:54What did they promise you?

00:42:58Nothing.

00:43:01They just reminded me of what's real.

00:43:07Charles, I'm not stupid.

00:43:10You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.

00:43:13What did they threaten you with?

00:43:20What did they threaten you with?

00:43:22This is the difference between me and you.

00:43:24What?

00:43:25You think you think you know me.

00:43:27Or what I have.

00:43:29You don't, Alice.

00:43:31You're still lying.

00:43:32I'm not, Alice.

00:43:34Look around you.

00:43:35This mansion you thought was a museum.

00:43:38It's my house.

00:43:41My world.

00:43:41I was bored into this.

00:43:44I am not choosing between this and something I picked up for a moment of fun.

00:43:54Don't do this, Charles.

00:43:56You don't mean it.

00:43:57It was fun.

00:43:59But you, you don't compare to what I own.

00:44:03I'll survive the loss.

00:44:09Right.

00:44:11I should have known.

00:44:14Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.

00:44:19You play with them, then you throw them away.

00:44:23Go to sleep, Alice.

00:44:24Alice.

00:44:33This fall is a little more than I expected.

00:44:42In so deep I can barely see myself.

00:44:48Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.

00:44:54But I find this the place to test myself.

00:45:03Oops.

00:45:24Oh, sorry.

00:45:26Didn't see you there.

00:45:27Then again, nobody does.

00:45:30Move, please.

00:45:31Hmm.

00:45:31Try begging.

00:45:38You know what?

00:45:40Keep it.

00:45:45Poor thing.

00:45:47So dramatic.

00:45:49Don't.

00:45:50Excuse me.

00:45:51I warned you.

00:45:54Walk away, Serena.

00:46:01Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.

00:46:19But one pair surprised me in a good way.

00:46:22Charles Kenwood, Charles Kenwood, and Alice Keaton.

00:46:26Would you mind giving us a short summary?

00:46:28She loves the sound of her own voice.

00:46:30Better have it.

00:46:31I couldn't stay.

00:46:32I couldn't wait.

00:46:34I thought they used to know that I would have.

00:46:38Can hang around with me.

00:46:39Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.

00:46:43Like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.

00:46:48Different worlds, different rules.

00:46:52At first glance, they clash.

00:46:55But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.

00:46:59Confusion.

00:47:00Curiosity.

00:47:00But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.

00:47:05And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.

00:47:17And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.

00:47:20Is she still talking about the essay?

00:47:26Miss Keaton.

00:47:29Dramatic as always.

00:47:31Alright.

00:47:31Thank you, Alice.

00:47:33That was...

00:47:34layered.

00:47:36Are you okay?

00:47:37A reminder.

00:47:38That good literature.

00:47:40Always stirs something.

00:47:44Hello?

00:47:45Hi, here's Alice Keaton.

00:47:46This is Whitmore Press.

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

00:47:49We'd like to offer you a long term.

00:47:50Publishing contract.

00:47:51Name your price.

00:47:52We'll make it work.

00:47:54Sorry, what?

00:47:58That's...

00:47:59kind of...

00:48:00insane.

00:48:01Who's behind this?

00:48:02Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.

00:48:05Can...

00:48:05Can I meet them?

00:48:09I want to.

00:48:10Please.

00:48:12Or at least tell me a name.

00:48:17Sorry, they wish to stay anonymous.

00:48:19So they're only interested in words, not the person.

00:48:21I'd really like to meet them.

00:48:22I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.

00:48:23They were very good.

00:48:25I think the most generous offer we've ever given a Disney writer.

00:48:28I see.

00:48:29Congratulations again.

00:48:35You got the interview.

00:48:36I think it's just an interview.

00:48:37I haven't gotten it in yet.

00:48:38Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.

00:48:41That's iconic.

00:48:50You okay?

00:48:52Yeah.

00:48:54I'm so excited.

00:48:55It's done, Mr. Kenwood.

00:49:09Miss Keaton signed the contract.

00:49:12Good.

00:49:14It's a generous deal.

00:49:15You sure you don't want it to know?

00:49:17No.

00:49:18You know, it's better if I stay out of her life.

00:49:31Congratulations, Alice Keaton.

00:49:34Go live the life you were always meant to.

00:49:36Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.

00:49:46And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.

00:49:51It's all coming together beautifully.

00:49:57I've lost my appetite.

00:50:02I'll go check on him.

00:50:03What's your problem, Charles?

00:50:13Disengagement.

00:50:15It's not happening.

00:50:16It's not up to you.

00:50:17You know that.

00:50:18Serena, we're not doing this.

00:50:21You've changed.

00:50:25Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.

00:50:33You're the sponsor.

00:50:58You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.

00:51:01So?

00:51:04You lied to everyone, including her.

00:51:07I protected her.

00:51:11You loved her.

00:51:13Still do.

00:51:15Let it go, Serena.

00:51:19There's no point.

00:51:20I need a favour.

00:51:30Find out when the Oxford interview is.

00:51:33And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.

00:51:36Anything with Lyra?

00:51:43She's not answering.

00:51:45The interview's almost over.

00:51:46Well, she won't just not show up.

00:51:48Something's wrong.

00:51:51Where's Alice?

00:51:53When was the last time you heard from her?

00:51:54Last night.

00:51:55She said she was prepping all evening.

00:51:56James, track someone for me.

00:52:04Wait.

00:52:05Where are you going?

00:52:13Chill, okay?

00:52:15We won't hurt you.

00:52:16Yeah.

00:52:17We're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview.

00:52:19That's it.

00:52:20Shit!

00:52:29Come back!

00:52:29I remember how a man.

00:52:59Didn't need a second guess.

00:53:07Hey.

00:53:08Hey, hey, Alice.

00:53:09Alice?

00:53:10Alice, stay with me.

00:53:12Stay with me.

00:53:12Stay with me, Alice.

00:53:13Alice!

00:53:20You're awake.

00:53:22Where...

00:53:22Where am I?

00:53:24Local clinic.

00:53:25Passer-by brought you in.

00:53:27Passer-by.

00:53:28He found you on the side of the road.

00:53:31He had to leave.

00:53:32He didn't leave a name.

00:53:35Oh.

00:53:37The interview!

00:53:38What time is it?

00:53:39Easy.

00:53:40It's okay.

00:53:41Someone already contacted the university.

00:53:43Anne sent in your writing samples.

00:53:45They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.

00:53:47Wait, what?

00:53:47Who?

00:53:48No idea, but it's all taken care of.

00:53:54What did you say?

00:53:56Nothing.

00:53:57I just...

00:53:58had a dream.

00:54:00I got him!

00:54:12I got him!

00:54:12Oh, I knew it!

00:54:17Oh, too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.

00:54:21He's not here.

00:54:23Oh, you didn't know?

00:54:25Know what?

00:54:27He left.

00:54:28A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.

00:54:32Honestly, Asher's been quieter without him.

00:54:34It's probably for the best.

00:54:35Come on.

00:54:42Alice?

00:54:46The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.

00:54:50Chaotic.

00:54:51Unexpected.

00:54:55And with his absence...

00:54:56Come on!

00:54:58It ended quietly.

00:55:02Like summers always do.

00:55:05Did you feel it from across the world?

00:55:10Did you feel a little enchanted?

00:55:16And joining us today,

00:55:18the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon,

00:55:22Alice Keaton.

00:55:23Thank you for having me.

00:55:24Now, your words moved millions.

00:55:27They say your stories feel real,

00:55:30especially the ones about love.

00:55:32Which brings us to the most obvious question.

00:55:35How's your dating life like these days?

00:55:37No comment.

00:55:39A little bird told me that the past four years

00:55:41has been just writing and working,

00:55:44not even a single date.

00:55:45Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.

00:55:47She caught me.

00:55:48Still no comment.

00:55:49All right, all right.

00:55:50No matter what you say,

00:55:52you write love like someone who's lived it.

00:55:56If you're so real...

00:55:57Because once, I did.

00:55:59That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love.

00:56:03And no one ever quite matched the light after that.

00:56:06And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.

00:56:09Congratulations, Alice.

00:56:21The numbers just came in.

00:56:23You broke your own record.

00:56:26That's...

00:56:26incredible.

00:56:27We're thinking celebration,

00:56:29press,

00:56:29photos,

00:56:30maybe tonight.

00:56:31Actually,

00:56:32there's something I'd rather do.

00:56:34I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.

00:56:39My sponsor.

00:56:41You're sure?

00:56:42Yeah.

00:56:43Just once.

00:56:45Tonight, 7pm.

00:56:57Good evening.

00:57:02Good evening.

00:57:04Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.

00:57:16Hi.

00:57:17Hi.

00:57:20You look well.

00:57:23And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.

00:57:27You always did.

00:57:29You were expecting someone else.

00:57:32I was.

00:57:33Hoping.

00:57:36But I guess I always knew.

00:57:38I didn't come here to confuse you.

00:57:41Or to reopen anything.

00:57:44I just wanted to say congratulations.

00:57:46I didn't know you were rich enough not to do so.

00:57:56Always.

00:57:58Either way,

00:57:59your sponsorship started my career, so...

00:58:03No.

00:58:04No.

00:58:04No, you've...

00:58:05You weren't everything.

00:58:09Every word.

00:58:11Every page.

00:58:13Every reader.

00:58:15That's what I came to say.

00:58:20It was good to see you again.

00:58:22I hope.

00:58:23Charles.

00:58:23Can you just...

00:58:24Can you just...

00:58:26Wait a little longer?

00:58:36I think I knew it was you.

00:58:39There was one email.

00:58:40You said something that felt familiar.

00:58:45Really?

00:58:45Kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.

00:58:49Very on brand.

00:58:51I should have anonymized my grammar.

00:58:53Too late.

00:58:54Your semicolon usage gave you away.

00:58:57Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.

00:58:59Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.

00:59:06You've changed.

00:59:08But...

00:59:10Not really.

00:59:12You haven't changed.

00:59:14But...

00:59:15Maybe you've grown into who you really were.

00:59:19Anyway.

00:59:20I wanted to say...

00:59:25And...

00:59:26Thanks for being here tonight.

00:59:28You didn't have to come.

00:59:31Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:59:32I do.

00:59:35You didn't have to come.

00:59:38Don't tell me what I have to do.

00:59:40I do.

00:59:58If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?

01:00:10No.

01:00:16No.

01:00:16Don't tell me what I have to do now.

01:00:21I see.

01:00:25I know my answer now.

01:00:26I didn't have the power back then.

01:00:29Not enough to protect you.

01:00:31I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.

01:00:34Because of my name.

01:00:36My family.

01:00:38I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.

01:00:40So you just disappeared.

01:00:43Without a word.

01:00:47If you had the chance to see the world, without me weighing you down.

01:00:52If you still chose me after that.

01:00:54You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.

01:01:01But you made a choice for me.

01:01:05Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...

01:01:08I would have chosen you anyway?

01:01:11I didn't think I was the smart choice.

01:01:20You weren't.

01:01:23But I never claimed to be that smart.

01:01:34This is me.

01:01:35Right.

01:01:41I'm still mad at you, you know.

01:01:47I'm still in love with you, you know.

01:01:57Do you want to come in for a bit?

01:02:01You're asking your ex,

01:02:03who you haven't seen in four years,

01:02:06to come into your hotel

01:02:07at approximately 11pm.

01:02:09You were right.

01:02:12You never were that smart.

01:02:14You don't have to come.

01:02:16Don't tell me what I have to do.

01:02:33Stop quoting yourself.

01:02:34I recycle.

01:02:35It saves energy.

01:02:36This feels wildly irresponsible.

01:02:40You sound like a disclaimer.

01:02:41You're the one who once called romance a distraction.

01:02:44I said that?

01:02:45Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.

01:02:48Still is.

01:02:50You're lucky you're a good kisser.

01:02:55That is cute to me.

01:02:57Don't you dare quote poetry.

01:02:59I wasn't going to.

01:02:59I forgot all of it the day you left.

01:03:03Then shut up.

01:03:05And prove it.

01:03:12I still can't believe this is happening.

01:03:14I told you,

01:03:15they're either worst enemies or secretly married.

01:03:17And I told you,

01:03:18they're both.

01:03:18I vow to always tell you the truth.

01:03:48Except for when you ask how your cooking was.

01:03:51Then I lie.

01:03:53Respectfully.

01:03:55I vow to keep choosing you.

01:03:58Loudly.

01:04:00Quietly.

01:04:01Always.

01:04:03Even when you forget to do the laundry.

01:04:05I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.

01:04:18Especially over Shakespeare.

01:04:20I vow to write you in your every story.

01:04:23Even when I say I didn't.

01:04:25You will always be a part of my life.

01:04:28If she quotes Austen in this toast,

01:04:30I'm out.

01:04:30No, you're not.

01:04:31You're going to cry harder.

01:04:32No, you're not.

01:04:32You're going to cry harder.

01:04:32For the rest of my life.

01:04:38For the rest of my life.

01:04:52I woke up to the smell of roses.

01:04:56I can't believe you picked Paris.

01:04:58Such a cliche honeymoon destination.

01:05:02Guard your phone.

01:05:03Relax.

01:05:04Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.

01:05:09You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.

01:05:13Please, Alice, go change.

01:05:15Don't tell me what I have to do.

01:05:17No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation.

01:05:25Do not take off these clothes.

01:05:26Overruled.

01:05:28You look much better without them.

01:05:35To the ones who loved in silence,

01:05:38in chaos, in chapters,

01:05:40you will find your way home.

01:05:47I'm going to be on my own.

01:05:49But I don't want to die alone.

01:05:51God.

01:05:53God.

01:05:55Really?

01:06:10Okay.

01:06:11it's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
