00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:09But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashton's.
00:00:15He's hot.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:20He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe the 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, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:43it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:00:58I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn and never wrong.
00:01:18What was 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.
00:01:33That's kind of the problem.
00:01:35Kind of the problem.
00:01:42I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain everyday.
00:01:52Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to war.
00:01:56You're not staying around.
00:01:57You're okay?
00:01:58You're okay.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00Morning, class.
00:02:01And you're not seated because?
00:02:02I don't have a seat.
00:02:03Ah!
00:02:04A new transfer.
00:02:05Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:06Let's see.
00:02:07There's a spot.

00:02:09Charles case.
00:02:10Charles case, sherry.
00:02:11Seriously.
00:02:12A charity case sitting next to Charles.
00:02:13God, why is she eating?
00:02:14Quiet, Charles.
00:02:15I've always had words for everything I'm saying.
00:02:16And you're not seated because.
00:02:17You're not seated because?
00:02:18I don't have a seat.
00:02:19Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:20Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:21Let's see.
00:02:22Oh, there's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles case, sherry.
00:02:25Seriously.
00:02:26A charity case sitting next to Charles.
00:02:27The charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, why is she eating?
00:02:31Quiet.
00:02:32Charles.
00:02:33I've always had words for everything I've been saying.
00:02:38words for everything but in that moment I forgot them all
00:02:53Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what
00:03:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive
00:03:06influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due
00:03:11respect sir her previous school was American I highly doubt that that's
00:03:18enough she can sit here it's fine back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm Sherry
00:03:28born Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's talking about
00:03:34their experience of the time
00:03:39wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it
00:03:44don't take it past me he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is
00:03:50getting into his pants what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor
00:03:58he's not my type you're joking I don't find bullies attractive hey be careful
00:04:03you're talking about the king of Ashford the what his family basically own the
00:04:09school and the town maybe even the country yeah everyone's tried to get
00:04:14close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get nice okay first of all
00:04:19I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant
00:04:25cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just seems
00:04:31isolated like he's making out honestly I just think he's lonely and kind of
00:04:36pathetic
00:04:39what no go on
00:04:44you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:04:51next time read the room before opening your mouth American we're not in Kansas anymore Alice
00:05:06hey how was your first day I good things like to cap it not really super
00:05:28uneventful really how's your new job yeah all right get this is that we can stay in the
00:05:35servants wing seriously hmm apparently the young master won't mind the company the
00:05:41young master this is your boss's house yeah that's incredible I mean I wouldn't call it a
00:05:50house it's a museum with better landscaping right here I'll talk to the Butler Wow rich people you've
00:06:09taught yourself again Stephen King first edition
00:06:17breaking and entering now how American of you
00:06:39you can get up now I I'm trying wait are you serious well you said you were trying what is wrong
00:07:04with you funny I was about to ask you the same thing what are you doing in my
00:07:09house you wait your house my house my library and now apparently my unwanted
00:07:20guest oh master Charles must be Miss Alice and daughter she said you'd be moving in
00:07:27today she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see I'm not
00:07:32actually moving in that so yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame you must seem quite
00:07:40pleased with the arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well for sure and absolutely not
00:07:46come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate I'm dead like
00:08:02mentally socially and actually dead just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails
00:08:16get it together Alice Keaton you've been I'm sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around
00:08:23actually no be the thing I need they all just let this is help baby you saved me good morning
00:08:31so is that Miss Keaton doesn't know that's often close for months she's going to be late
00:08:53okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school okay if I sprint
00:09:09maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:14what what are you doing here didn't you already leave
00:09:24wait 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
00:09:44no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who forced me to live in
00:09:58this house unbelievable
00:10:04Ashford Institute please thank you
00:10:16who needs that entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why not just give Miss Keaton a lift
00:10:28why not just give Miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's
00:10:37already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:10:43asshole who morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying
00:10:58Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh I insist you seem
00:11:12very entertained by Golding I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is
00:11:20weak wait wait you wish you read it quiet that's an interesting take explain
00:11:30he 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 force them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival or death
00:11:45but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:11:52it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such
00:12:01strong literary 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
00:12:13I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way it's not mercy it's irony
00:12:34how so the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a
00:12:43monster Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48that's an interesting take Miss Keeter you still think it's a harsh critique in some ways but not harsh
00:12:55enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize with them and the civilized
00:13:03world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah I don't think Golding pushed far
00:13:09enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:12thank you Miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:13:20both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic
00:13:26Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:33what's happening to me
00:13:36okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:13:45well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:50a what now you two are in the middle of this epic feud as you've seen in years
00:13:55we're not even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one
00:13:59got rejected begged to sit next to him got rejected again
00:14:04and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:08and stormed out in tears
00:14:11you were there Sherry that is not what happened
00:14:15doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe
00:14:19and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:14:22wow
00:14:23is massage only like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty
00:14:27honestly both but seriously Alice

00:19:04Alice Keaton right
00:19:15I heard you staged the whole thing
00:19:19for attention
00:19:19I know how this place works
00:19:45if you don't do anything about it
00:19:47it's only going to get worse
00:19:48I'll look into it
00:19:50Charles
00:19:53good on you
00:19:55how many here 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
00:20:15when he ran out last night
00:20:16please
00:20:17please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:18please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:19please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:23being a scholarship student has its perks like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:30hey we miss you in Paris
00:20:31hey we miss you in Paris
00:20:32though there are enough Americans remind us of you
00:20:37oh
00:20:39sometimes being here means staying behind and watching Ashford elites go on a two week enrichment program you can never afford
00:20:44have fun bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:20:51the trip cost 20 grand in pounds which translates to mom's salary for half a year so yeah I didn't go
00:20:58hmm
00:21:05hmm
00:21:06hmm
00:21:07hmm
00:21:08hmm
00:21:09hmm
00:21:10hmm
00:21:11the trip cost 20 grand in pounds which translates to mom's salary for half a year so yeah I didn't go
00:21:16hmm
00:21:17hmm
00:21:18hmm
00:21:19what are you doing here do you not believe in shirts do you not believe in dignity
00:21:26it's comfortable you look like a rejected Ewok this this is not even your kitchen and this is not even your house and yet you're here dressed like this
00:21:33just don't look go away
00:21:35hard not to and you're walking around dressed like that what do you guys call it um
00:21:40you're not even your house and yet you're here dressed like this
00:21:53just don't look go away
00:21:55hard not to when you're walking around dressed like that what do you guys call it um
00:21:59dressed like that. What do you guys call it? Buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:22:05You're insufferable. You're the one cosplaying at breakfast. You know what? I
00:22:10don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour? I thought rich people live for that
00:22:13kind of thing. Why do you think?
00:22:21Where would I go? I 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 Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious. Then Venice, because everybody
00:22:38loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth. Next stop,
00:22:43Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people have plumbing. The
00:22:49final stop, Paris. The ultimate city of romance. And naturally,
00:22:55Woody Allen's favorite city outside of New York.
00:23:01That's word for word. I told you. I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:23:07Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice. Also, I hate the
00:23:17accommodations. Aren't they all five-star hotels? Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No, thank you.
00:23:23Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh? Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:23:30One word of advice? Shut up. That's two words. You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens. And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on. Come back with normal clothes on. You don't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:49After Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight. Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:02I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing? Relax. I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:24What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:32I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'm not selling my body.
00:24:44Wow. I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing? The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:25:00No, I'm... I...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:25:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:25:11You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:17I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries. You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:30It's... good.
00:25:33Was that a compliment?
00:25:40Although, I am obliged to inform you. Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian. It's American.
00:25:47And french fries, likely born in South America. You should read more.
00:25:53Put it down. I paid for it.
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:07I'll make sure of it.
00:26:09Okay, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:34911, look for your emergency.
00:26:35911, look for your emergency.
00:26:35911, look for your emergency.
00:26:39911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:41911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss. Hurricane constant traffic shut down. We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:50I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57Alright.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:00Please, stay with me, dad. Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:09Please, wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please.
00:27:15Please, don't leave me.
00:27:17Please, don't leave me.
00:27:29You, what are you doing here?
00:27:51You were crying.
00:27:56Loudly.
00:27:58Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:01Right.
00:28:02Sorry for the noise.
00:28:04Wait.
00:28:06No snarky comeback?
00:28:07Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:09I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:15You're recording for your dad, right?
00:28:17Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:19Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:22Dad had a stroke, but he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there, peaceful, like he was asleep, but he wasn't.
00:28:41So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:47This used to be our hometown.
00:28:49After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:56What are you doing?
00:29:02Come on.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:22Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow, rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:29:33Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place your house, so enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition, Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters, Jane Austen's notes, all yours.
00:29:49This 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, give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:30And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:30:35Chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:36Got 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.
00:30:46Wait, does the night go diagonally?
00:30:50For the 10th time, it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One, two, then turn.
00:30:57There.
00:30:58Happy?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03You know, that'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 any past arguments.
00:31:12Golding disagrees.
00:31:15It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my...
00:31:17No.
00:31:17Why?
00:31:18What's going on with that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:19We're not acting like that as well.
00:31:21No, no, oh my goodness.
00:31:41Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um, 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.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich, you didn't answer my messages.
00:32:15I 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.
00:32:33Engagement?
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?
00:32:50Serena?
00:32:50I can 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?
00:33:32Teasing 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?
00:33:45Oh, 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.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:29Yeah.
00:34:29Can you help me?
00:34:41What is this?
00:34:42I know it's 1066.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:44Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:46Er, I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:51Er, is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously.
00:35:01They've been getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:16James, is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:40Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:46Wait, 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.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:14Rooks.
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:35The text.
00:36:37Are you okay?
00:36:37Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:40I'm okay.
00:36:40I 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 okay.
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.
00:37:22That wasn't a mistake.
00:37:23If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:26I...
00:37:28Wasn't going to.
00:37:41I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46I'll be right back.
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.
00:38:36You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:49Paper planes.
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space.
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face and have you with me.
00:39:06It may seem dark, but you always liked my spark in my heart since the spark.
00:39:22You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly, right?
00:39:32I 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.
00:39:40They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:45Until I'm brand new, everything's so different now.
00:39:51So, 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.
00:40:10You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:22And you like it.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:33We need to talk.
00:40:44I expected poor judgment.
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:49No.
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:54Enlighten 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?
00:41:18We'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.
00:41:28And maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42Then are you sure she's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you.
00:41:54Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:01You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton.
00:42:09It'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 photographic 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.
00:43:00So are you.
00:43:01Wait, why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job.
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:07You don't get it.
00:43:09If 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.
00:43:17Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:23Do 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.
00:43:47Charles, 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?
00:44:01What 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.
00:44:19My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this.
00:44:29And something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:35You don't mean it.
00:44:37Well, it was fun.
00:44:39But you, you don't compare to what I own.
00:44:42I'll survive the loss.
00:44:49Right.
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.
00:45:12Okay.
00:45:13Tいう coronavirus is more like Zoom.
00:45:18Alles is a little more than I expected.
00:45:22In so deep, I can barely see myself.
00:45:28The air around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:45:35But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:45:42Oops.
00:46:04Oh, sorry.
00:46:06Didn't see that.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:10Hmm. Try begging.
00:46:18You know what? Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:46:28Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me.
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:40Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable, but one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice. Better have it.
00:47:11I couldn't stay. I couldn't wait.
00:47:14But I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:18Can hang around.
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet, like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:30At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:39Confusion.
00:47:40Curiosity.
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.
00:47:47And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton.
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right. Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was later.
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:16The mind, though, that good literature always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:25Hi, here's 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 make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:34That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:51Can...
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:53I 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 their only interest in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:11I think the most generous offer we've ever given a video answer.
00:49:13I 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.
00:49:28For your love, I'll be going around for a minute.
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:40I'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 it 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.
00:50:28Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:32And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:41I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:50What'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.
00:51:14Oh.
00:51:15Oh.
00:51:18Oh.
00:51:27Oh.
00:51:28Oh.
00:51:28Oh.
00:51:28Oh.
00:51:28Tals, you're the sponsor.
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:50So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:56You 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.
00:52:26Anything?
00:52:28No?
00:52:30She's not answering.
00:52:31The interview's almost over.
00:52:33Well, she won't just not show up.
00:52:35Something's wrong.
00:52:37Where's Alice?
00:52:39When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night.
00:52:42She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:43James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01We won't hurt you.
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:53:06That's it.
00:53:06Shix, come back!
00:53:30Why?
00:53:30Why?
00:53:32I remember how I meant
00:53:46Didn't need a second guess
00:53:50Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:56Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:02Alice
00:54:07You're awake
00:54:09Where, where am I?
00:54:11Local clinic, passerby brought you in
00:54:14Passerby?
00:54:16He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:21Oh
00:54:23The interview, what time is it?
00:54:26Easy, it's okay
00:54:28Someone already contacted the university
00:54:30And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
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
00:54:42I just
00:54:44Had a dream
00:54:46I had a dream
00:54:47I got him!
00:54:53I got him!
00:54:54I knew it!
00:54:55Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:08He's not here
00:55:10Well, you didn't know
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:13He left
00:55:14A few days ago
00:55:15Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him
00:55:20It's probably for the best
00:55:21Come on
00:55:22Come on
00:55:23Thomas!
00:55:24Thomas!
00:55:25Thomas?
00:55:26Thomas?
00:55:27Thomas?
00:55:28Thomas?
00:55:29Thomas?
00:55:30Thomas?
00:55:31Thomas?
00:55:32Thomas?
00:55:33Thomas?
00:55:34The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:35Chaotic
00:55:36Chaotic
00:55:38Unexpected
00:55:39And with his absence
00:55:40Come on!
00:55:41And with his absence
00:55:42It ended quietly
00:55:43It ended quietly
00:55:45It ended quietly, like summers always do.
00:56:04And joining us today, the Decay's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:56:10Thank you for having me.
00:56:11Now, your words moved millions.
00:56:14They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:56:20Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:24No comment.
00:56:26A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not 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, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:56:43I feel so real.
00:56:44Because once, I did, with someone who felt like chaos and clarity.
00:56:49Alice Keaton.
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:52And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:56:56Congratulations Alice.
00:56:57The numbers just came in.
00:56:58You broke your own record.
00:56:59That's incredible.
00:57:01We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:57:02Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:57:06I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:57:07My sponsor.
00:57:08You're sure?
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:10Just once.
00:57:11Tonight, 7 p.m.
00:57:12Tonight, 7 p.m.
00:57:13Tonight, 7 p.m.
00:57:14Tonight, 7 p.m.
00:57:15Good evening.
00:57:16Good evening.
00:57:29Yeah, just once.
00:57:32Tonight, 7pm.
00:57:44Good evening.
00:57:49Good evening.
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:54Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:58:03Hi.
00:58:05Hi.
00:58:07You look well.
00:58:11And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:58:14You always did.
00:58:16You were expecting someone else.
00:58:19I was...
00:58:21hoping.
00:58:22But I guess I always knew.
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:58:28Or to reopen anything.
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:58:35Oh.
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading.
00:58:41You're rich enough not to do so.
00:58:44Always.
00:58:46Either way,
00:58:47your sponsorship started my career.
00:58:50So...
00:58:50No.
00:58:51No, you've...
00:58:52You earned everything.
00:58:56Every word.
00:58:58Every page.
00:59:00Every reader.
00:59:02That's what I came to say.
00:59:07It was good to see you again.
00:59:09I hope.
00:59:10Charles.
00:59:10Charles.
00:59:12Can you just...
00:59:13Wait a little longer.
00:59:16I think I knew it was you.
00:59:26There was one email.
00:59:29You said something.
00:59:30It felt familiar.
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that...
00:59:34rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:59:36Very on brand.
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:40Too late.
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:44Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:59:46Still the only guy I know who uses wilds unironically.
00:59:49You've changed.
00:59:55But...
00:59:56Not really.
00:59:59You haven't changed.
01:00:01But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:00:06Anyway.
01:00:07I wanted to say...
01:00:12And...
01:00:13Thanks for being here tonight.
01:00:15You didn't have to come.
01:00:16Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:22You didn't have to come.
01:00:24Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:27Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:46If you could go back.
01:00:48If you had the chance to do it all again.
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:57No.
01:01:03No.
01:01:03I see.
01:01:08I know my answer now.
01:01:13I didn't have the power back then.
01:01:15Not enough to protect you.
01:01:17I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:01:21Because of my name.
01:01:22My family.
01:01:25I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:01:28So you just disappeared.
01:01:30Without a word.
01:01:31If you had the chance to see the world.
01:01:36Without me weighing you down.
01:01:38If you still chose me after that.
01:01:44You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:01:48But you made a choice for me.
01:01:52Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...
01:01:56I would have chosen you anyway.
01:02:01I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:02:06You weren't.
01:02:09But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:02:12This is me.
01:02:22Right.
01:02:30I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:02:34I'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, who you haven't seen in four years,
01:02:52to come into your hotel at approximately 11 p.m.
01:02:57You were right.
01:02:59You never were that smart.
01:03:00You don't have to come.
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:03:05It's almost like you say.
01:03:09West days where to go.
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself.
01:03:20I recycle.
01:03:21It saves energy.
01:03:22This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer.
01:03:28You're the one who wants called romance a distraction.
01:03:30I said that.
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:03:34Still is.
01:03:36You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:03:41That is cutin'.
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:03:45What's it going, Sarah?
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:03:49Then shut up.
01:03:51And prove it.
01:03:58I still can't believe this is happening.
01:04:00I told you, they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:04:03And I told you, they're both.
01:04:05I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:04:35Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:04:37Then I lie.
01:04:39Respectfully.
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:44Loudly.
01:04:46Quietly.
01:04:48Always.
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat her at song, Heather.
01:05:01I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:05:03Especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you in your every story.
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't.
01:05:11You will always be part of my life.
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:05:17No, you're not.
01:05:17You're going to cry harder.
01:05:18I'll cry harder.
01:05:18For the rest of life.
01:05:22For the rest of your life.
01:05:24For the rest of your life.
01:05:27I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:45Such a cliche honeymoon destination.
01:05:46Guard your phone.
01:05:50Relax.
01:05:50Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:56You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:06:00Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:03No.
01:06:09No.
01:06:09No, no, no, no.
01:06:10That is not an invitation.
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13You're overruled.
01:06:14You look much better without them.
01:06:18To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:06:23you will find your way home.
01:06:25That's all.
01:06:31This woman's going to be here.
01:06:33I don't want to die alone.
01:06:34I don't want to die alone.
01:06:38Hey, you need to be here.
01:06:46Oopsie.
01:06:47My king.
01:06:52Okay.
01:06:53Okay.
01:06:53Okay.
