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.
00:58I'm on fire.
01:01This 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?
01:39Hey, fuck the both of you. That's my sister you're talking about, man.
01:42Oooh, fucking chill out, Alistair.
01:45Yeah, I need to cool off.
01:46Oh, shit!
01:50Go, man! Go!
02:03Hey, Lydia. We missed you last night.
02:05Hey, James. Your sister's here, and she's bringing bad vibes to the party.
02:09Lydia!
02:10Lydia!
02:14Lyd, what's wrong?
02:16Come on, come on, breathe.
02:21Really, read the fucking room, dude.
02:23Hey, what happened to you?
02:26She was standing in front of us. She just barged in.
02:29Yeah, who?
02:30Ruby. Ruby Bell. She saw us. The British press will destroy me. Dad will kill me. He won't forgive me for another scandal.
02:39Just breathe with me. And now, calmly, from the beginning, what's happened here?
02:44And who is this Ruby Bell?
03:09Would you like to sit here?
03:14Oh, yeah. Thank you.
03:27Hello, Mr. Sutton.
03:28Ruby.
03:29You enjoy the summer, then?
03:30I bought the books on the Oxford reading list, and read every book twice.
03:33I've read every book twice.
03:34So, yeah.
03:37Some reading for you?
03:39This is enough material for a biography.
03:42I think a little reference should be a problem.
03:44Everyone deserves a world full of opportunities.
03:53And if there's one place where those opportunities begin, it's at Oxford University.
03:58The world welcomes those who have studied there.
04:00And if everything goes as planned during this term, then in less than 365 days, I will be there.
04:07Maxton Hall College is my entry ticket.
04:12It's not just a school. It's one of THE schools.
04:15Oh, flowers raining on your hair. You can't keep them off even in despair.
04:28Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:31It's all when you dance, when you dance, don't try to comprehend.
04:36I 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.
05:00Still your white heart anymore.
05:05British nobility.
05:07The son of the Manchester United coach.
05:09The cousin of the Emir of Dubai.
05:11They're all here.
05:12They go to the same parties, get the same jobs, and marry the same people.
05:16A microcosm of millionaires.
05:19And I almost forgot.
05:20Besides money and influence, my fellow students have another thing in common.
05:24I am invisible to them.
05:26I 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.
05:32Especially in front of this crowd.
05:34The less they notice me, the better.
05:39Well, did you hand it in?
05:40I just gave it to him.
05:41Oh, I wish I'd asked Mr. Sutton for a reference, too.
05:43He's so cool.
05:44Mrs. Campbell is just as good.
05:46Wasn't she her year's valedictorian at Oxford?
05:48Yeah, in 1890.
05:51Lynn was one of them, too.
05:52Until a year ago, when her parents divorced and their business collapsed.
05:55How did she manage to get through it?
05:58No idea.
06:03At 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
06:09best reflects the contents of the foundation of the metaphysics of morals
06:13and the critique of practical reason.
06:17Yes, exactly.
06:18And that's why I always say, this here...
06:23This here is Google for the old folks.
06:26But back to Kant.
06:27Mr. Smith, what do you think?
06:29Kant's saying that we should all just do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
06:34That's the Bible, not Kant.
06:38What, though, if Kant's meaning of categorical imperative is his way of telling us
06:42we should ignore the consequences of what we're doing,
06:44if what we're doing feels right?
06:49Miss 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.
06:56Humans are able to reason, but they usually make decisions on how they feel, though.
07:07That'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.
07:13Eloquently, Bert.
07:15Okay.
07:16Let's turn to the next chapter.
07:18I 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
07:30that don't really know what they're doing.
07:32And don't forget the great selection of stone DJs.
07:34We 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.
07:41I have to go and see Mr. Sutton.
07:43I'll see you later.
07:45Okay.
07:48I'll see you later.
08:05Excuse me, sir.
08:14Ruby, I...
08:15I can explain this.
08:22You see, all of this, I can explain it.
08:24It's really not what it looks like.
08:26Ruby!
08:45I don't think so.
08:46You can wait here, Percy.
08:59It won't take that long.
09:02You can wait here, Percy. It won't take that long.
09:17Ruby, 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. I 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.
10:01James 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.
10:39Okay.
10:48Okay.
10:49Robin, isn't it?
11:07Ruby.
11:07Ruby.
11:08Yeah.
11:09I knew it was something with an R.
11:10Right, you know me.
11:12I know your name, if that's what you mean.
11:14I'm Lydia's brother.
11:16She's in your philosophy class, yeah?
11:20I want you to take this from me.
11:22And remember, what you saw in son's office never happened.
11:2810,000 should do it.
11:37If you keep quiet at the end of the year, we'll dump it.
11:39Wow.
11:45You're an even greater arsehole than I thought.
11:48Whoa, whoa.
11:49We're not finished.
11:50What about a Maserati and a Fabergé egg as well?
11:55Oh, come on.
11:55I know that you can make use of the cash.
11:58You 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.
12:08Do 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?
12:20Oh, my God.
12:50He was trying to buy me, but I don't need his money.
13:08I earn my own.
13:11As sisters, we complement 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.
13:19During school.
13:20So we finished early.
13:22I know hearing stuff like that makes you miss your old school.
13:25Oh.
13:33You should have been there.
13:34It was hilarious.
13:35Ah, my two little elves.
13:37Hi, give me two minutes.
13:38I'm going to quickly get changed.
13:39Come back, though.
13:40We're making dinner.
13:41We'll be making dinner.
14:02We're making dinner.
14:03Oh!
14:05Oh!
14:07Oh!
14:09Send me your fire
14:13I need you, oh yeah
14:15I need you, oh yeah
14:17Send me your fire
14:21Now you wanna go through
14:23You wanna go through
14:25You wanna go through
14:27And?
14:29And?
14:31I loved it
14:35Traumatic but great
14:37When I read it at your age
14:39It turned my world upside down
14:41You liking Death Note?
14:45You're only in the middle
14:47Alright, it took me about a month
14:49To realise I had to read it from the back
14:51So considering that I'm pretty far in
14:53After James Joyce you should be happy that it was under a thousand pages
14:57Ta-da!
14:59Oh!
15:00Ember, 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
15:05But I think it will turn out nice
15:07Maybe it was a lace or a bow or...
15:08Whoa, 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
15:13Okay
15:17A 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
15:43It must drive him insane, but he never so much as mentions it
15:47That's why I haven't told him that I'm saving up for a new one
15:50I'm saving up for a new one
16:20Oh, my gosh
16:21Yay
16:22Aw, yay
16:23Oh, yeah
16:24휴
16:25Wake up
16:26Schruss
16:27Hey
16:28New
16:37New
16:38New
16:41New
16:42New
16:43rented
16:44New
16:45New
16:46New
16:49Can I have everything for my letter of recommendation, sir?
16:53Yeah, naturally.
16:59I've already written the letter of recommendation.
17:08I just need the documents.
17:09Listen, Ruby, there's absolutely nothing in this I don't believe.
17:23The choices you make are no business of mine.
17:26But if someone finds out about this, the recommendation is pointless to me.
17:40I'll find someone else.
17:51Why 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.
18:10That'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?
18:35I 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.
18:53What's yours, then?
18:53Now, what's this?
19:11A little experience with the hottest single guy at school.
19:13Is this the first time you've prostituted yourself?
19:21Does it happen often?
19:22I wasn't going to take your money, as I happen to know you're a little bit short right now.
19:26Go to hell, Beaufort.
19:28Is that you trying to ever go a dirty talk?
19:32Come one step closer towards me.
19:34And I'll kick you in the bollocks.
19:39Then 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.
20:04I never want you and me to be seen together again.
20:34Boys, everyone.
21:04come on hurry up so next year most of you will end up being oxford and cambridge opponents
21:11this is your last chance to rewrite the max the knoll history books
21:17beaufort's my winner here has for the past two years made sure that this team is one that doesn't
21:23move up so go out there and crush some each few balls everybody understand that let's go
21:40don't even think of getting revenge in the corner okay
21:45get out there
21:53oh
22:02after the last narrow victory
22:04the only question is will it be sweet revenge for
22:07master hall here on their own turn
22:23oh
22:42oh
22:48After that, you've got a strike, and one million to make them all!
22:51You can hear me now, tell me where the fire is, tell me where the fire is, can you hear me now, can you hear me now, tell me where the fire is, can you hear me now, can you hear me now?
23:18Ever since the change in coaching staff two terms ago, this team has made a gigantic leap forward. Coach Freeman deserves to be extremely proud of his boys.
23:36Alistair, no!
23:38Alistair, no!
23:48McCormack, you princess!
23:52Oh dear, oh dear, what is going on here?
23:58Calm down, calm down, what are you doing?
24:02That was clearly a blatant mess.
24:04What did I tell you? What did I tell you?
24:06What'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, get your stupid boy in the ass over here!
24:14Off the field!
24:18As McCormack receives medical attention, Ellington has quite rightly been sent off the field.
24:22The tension has dispersed and the mood seems to have calmed down again, so play with my hand for you!
24:38If you're looking for all the action, it's over there.
24:40Thanks, but I preferred it when they were wrestling out there.
24:46McCormack was heading for even more of a battering, but the ref quickly got involved.
24:50If she was playing for Eastview, they'd have a greater chance.
25:00Attack!
25:10Alistair.
25:27I can tell that you're actually a hardcore lacrosse fan.
25:30Oh, yeah. I've been pitch side for all the games. Haven't you seen me?
25:34I'm normally a bit busy out there.
25:36Yeah, beating up the opposition, I guess.
25:40Sir, should you take a photo of you watching the match?
25:45It was nice meeting you, Alistair.
25:57Sir, do you have a minute?
25:59You can see that I'm busy, Miss Bell.
26:01It'll only take two minutes, I promise.
26:03I 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.
26:11You're the best person at this school to write a recommendation letter.
26:14I thought I'd at least see if you had a little time.
26:16We both know you're a very good student. Exemplar, in fact.
26:19But you're not doing enough to earn my recommendation at this time.
26:21Not for Oxford.
26:22Come to think of it, if these last two years I've hardly even been aware of your presence at Maxton Hall, Miss Bell.
26:29Do you know why that is?
26:31I'm chairing the event committee this year, among other things, with Lynn Wine.
26:35Oh, yes, right, right.
26:37How's it going with the welcome party?
26:39The prep is nearly done.
26:42This event is the very first impression that our new students and their parents get of our school,
26:47before 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 that, sir.
26:56If 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 then.
27:07Miss Bell, can you do me a favor?
27:13Move back out of my picture.
27:17Come on, come on, come on!
27:19What?
27:20.
27:21.
27:22.
27:23.
27:24.
27:25.
27:26.
27:29.
27:31.
27:32.
27:33.
27:34.
27:36.
27:37.
27:38.
27:39.
27:40.
27:44.
27:45.
27:46.
27:47What were you doing with Alastair?
27:49Nothing.
27:51Why?
27:52I don't know what your idea is, Belle.
27:54And being honest, I don't really care.
27:57Someone 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 wanna do.
28:18Don't go to me.
28:20I don't know what you need.
28:22What?
28:24Oh what?
28:26Was that good?
28:28Why are I not bad?
28:30What?
28:32What's your name?
28:33What are you?
28:34What are you?
28:35I'm not sorry.
28:36I'm not so sorry.
28:37What?
28:38I'm sorry.
28:39I'm not sorry about this.
28:40I'm sorry.
28:41I'm sorry about it.
28:42I can't speak.
28:43You know what I mean?
28:44You're alright.
28:45You're not angry.
28:47are you playing for the rugby team secretly 11 to 5 don't measure success based on wins but
29:12what improvement you're making later Tiger Woods what do you know about Ruby Bell nothing other than
29:35that she's chairing the stupid event committee the one the school parties are organized by
29:40it's sudden kept quiet yeah it's like nothing ever happened yeah it's because it didn't
29:54I thought my heart stopped working I was some different person who couldn't see past the past
30:12easy I'm not saying it's easy to forgive completely but I couldn't let it last
30:25the elephant is one of the strongest animals in the world and that's why the metaphor
30:30of the chained elephant has always fascinated me
30:37the elephant is one of the strongest animals in the world and that's why the metaphor of the
30:55chained elephant has always fascinated me an elephant could easily tear the stake out of
31:06the ground that it's chained to but no matter how big and strong it is its conviction that it
31:16is powerless keeps it chained in place people are no different our fears and prejudices keep us from
31:29realizing our full potential from following our dreams I am lucky since I know that there is only a
31:47small stake holding me and I'm working on pulling it out little by little a bit more every year
31:53I won't let myself be chained to a stake and certainly not by someone like James Beaufort
32:17only this evening stands between me and my recommendation for Oxford and I'll make sure
32:46everything and I mean everything goes smoothly
32:49I quite forget how we dance away the spring
32:56no recollection of the song you'd always sing
33:04so I'm sorry if you miss me but I've got things to do
33:13I just can't do that
33:17excuse me
33:18without you
33:19yeah
33:20I'd do anything for a rain event
33:22should we go up Jones?
33:23yeah
33:24let's go then
33:25to all my fans
33:26see ya
33:27see ya
33:42can I uh... can I talk to you for a minute?
33:46I feel good
33:48I hear that
33:49I feel like you're going to be in the past
33:50oh what's his name, oh so do you miss me tonight?
33:58are you feeling less and bright?
34:03before I hit the deck I just thought I'd check that it's just me and the candle lights
34:13What you saw before was absolutely unacceptable.
34:25I knew you were secretly into brunettes.
34:29But it's really not what you think.
34:31Miss Beaufort 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, Tiff.
34:43It put you in such an uncomfortable situation.
34:51My compliments.
34:54You know, it's exactly how I would have done it.
35:00Thank you, sir.
35:13This war is mine.
35:24This war is mine.
35:25I am the mystery.
35:28I am the fire.
35:32What is the treasure?
35:33This war is mine.
35:37This war is mine.
35:38I am the mystery.
35:40This legend is a cold thing, baby.
35:44I put it on a bed of pain.
35:47This baby's your mama, baby.
35:49With me with a little ring
35:53Yeah, ring
35:57Yeah, ring
36:01I am a pistol
36:04I am a fire
36:08I'm in construction
36:11But this war is mine
36:14This war is mine
36:16I am a pistol
36:17I am a fire
36:20Love is construction
36:24But this war is mine
36:27This war is mine
36:29I am a pistol
36:30I am a pistol
36:34With me, I am a pistol
36:36I am a pistol
36:40I am a pistol
36:41I am a pistol
36:43Hey, turn the music off
36:54Music off
36:56My heart is ruined
36:59Oh shit
37:00Let's go
37:03Oh
37:11Hi, Robin
37:13Is everything okay?
37:14Do you even care that we've all worked our arses off for this special event?
37:17Well, 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
37:24Then I'll do everything I can to make sure no one believes you if you do open your mouth
37:28Hey
37:34Lexington wants to talk to you
37:37Both of you
37:39You have both disappointed me immensely this evening
37:53As I'm sure you know
37:56That's more than enough smugness from you, Mr. Beaufort
38:02Someone saw you with the DJ paying her off
38:05Oops
38:09So you've earned yourself a lacrosse team suspension
38:13And, Miss Bell, your letter of recommendation
38:16Out of the question
38:17I would expect you to have an event like this under control
38:23As chair of the event committee
38:24But thanks to Mr. Beaufort's clever little prank
38:27I don't have anything positive to report about your organizational abilities
38:31Unless, of course
38:33There's something else about this situation I should be aware of
38:36About you
38:39Or Mr. Beaufort
38:41No, 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
39:16And 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
39:38Not if I'm in charge of it
39:43If that's true
39:47Then Mr. Beaufort can invest his newfound free time in the event committee alongside you, Miss Bell
39:53To make up for his unwanted intervention
39:55And both of you, attending to every last detail
39:59Will deliver a spectacular event
40:01To repair this school's reputation
40:04Which you've just sullied with your reckless behavior
40:06Then we'll see about your recommendation, Miss Bell
40:11It's impossible to use them in my community
40:15If you think I'm going to see them remove them while they do fucking cocktail party plans
40:17This is absolutely bad
40:17I suppose you should be happy
40:24Amused a little, yeah
40:25As if I'm going to let someone like you give me instructions
40:28Because you're a Beaufort man, yeah?
40:31Exactly, yeah
40:32You can belittle me all you want
40:35I'm not scared, don't worry
40:36I do a really good job on this committee
40:40And I'm not going to waste my opportunity to go to Oxford for anyone
40:43So
40:45Do what you want to do
40:50You want a war, Ruby Bell?
41:02You've got one
41:03You've got one
