00:02:31Alice Keaton

00:02:48he's impossible
00:02:50can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants

00:02:55everyone

00:03:03I don't find bullies attractive
00:03:04hey

00:03:20okay
00:03:21first of all
00:03:22I wasn't iced
00:03:23it's more like
00:03:24a mutual decision
00:03:26and second
00:03:27I think he's arrogant
00:03:28cold
00:03:29thinks he's untouchable
00:03:31but if you really look at Charles
00:03:33he just seems isolated
00:03:34like he's faking out
00:03:36honestly
00:03:37I just think he's lonely
00:03:38and kind of pathetic

00:08:30Wait, did you come back for me?
00:08:36Relax. I forgot my textbook. Don't flatter yourself.
00:08:42Wait! Since you're already here, maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:52No.
00:08:54Seriously? Your car is huge!
00:08:58Yeah. And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:02Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:09Unbelievable!
00:09:19Ashford Institute, please. Thank you.
00:09:23Who needs an entitled brat anyway?
00:09:29Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:38Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:40And have the whole school go crazy.
00:09:42She's new. Everybody's already talking.
00:09:45So you're worried about her?
00:09:47You're overthinking.
00:09:49I just don't like drama.
00:09:56Asshole.
00:09:58Hey.
00:10:00Morning, Klaus.
00:10:02Back to Golding.
00:10:04Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:11Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:15Not particularly.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17I insist.
00:10:18You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:21I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:10:24On the contrary.
00:10:26I think his ending is...
00:10:28Weak.
00:10:30Wait, wait.
00:10:31You've actually read it?
00:10:32Quiet.
00:10:35That's an interesting take.
00:10:36Explain.
00:10:38He had the setup for something brutal.
00:10:42Something honest.
00:10:44In the end, he backed out.
00:10:46He could have left the boys on the island.
00:10:48Forced them to confront the collapsible morality.
00:10:50Let them choose survival.
00:10:52Or death.
00:10:54But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:10:57Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:11:03It's a waste.
00:11:05Don't you think?
00:11:06I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:11:08Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:11:11I'm always a model student, sir.
00:11:13Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:11:17So.
00:11:18A critique of Golding's mercy.
00:11:20Anyone disagree?
00:11:37I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:11:41It's not mercy.
00:11:42It's irony.
00:11:43How so?
00:11:47The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:11:50You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:11:53Golding didn't save them.
00:11:54He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:56That's an interesting take, Miss Keeter.
00:11:59You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:01In some ways.
00:12:03But not harsh enough.
00:12:05Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity.
00:12:08But still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:12:11And the civilized world?
00:12:13Toxic, violent.
00:12:14He didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:12:16So, yeah.
00:12:17I don't think Golding pushed far enough.
00:12:19But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:25Thank you, Miss Keeter.
00:12:27Well said.
00:12:29Anyone else?
00:12:32Both opinions are valid.
00:12:33Okay.
00:12:34That's kind of epic.
00:12:35And let's not forget.
00:12:36Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:40Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:12:45What's happening to me?
00:12:54Everyone's staring at me.
00:12:56Well, you're new.
00:12:57And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:12:59A what now?
00:13:01You two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's scene in years.
00:13:05We're not even fighting.
00:13:06Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one.
00:13:09Got rejected.
00:13:10Begged to sit next to him.
00:13:12Got rejected again.
00:13:14And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:13:22You were there, Sherry.
00:13:23That is not what happened.
00:13:26Doesn't matter.
00:13:27People believe what they want to believe.
00:13:29And they want Charles to be flawless.
00:13:31Untouchable.
00:13:33Wow.
00:13:34Is massage any like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:37Honestly, both.
00:13:39But seriously Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:13:51Okay.
00:13:52Loaded.
00:13:53Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:14:12Hello?
00:14:14Hello?
00:14:15Is somebody out there?
00:14:16Oh, come on!
00:14:17Fine.
00:14:19My mom.
00:14:20I'm not even sure why I'm not on the whole show.
00:14:21I'm just wondering who you are.
00:14:22This is what she's doing.
00:14:23I'm not having trouble for me to do my douche.
00:14:24No, she's doing well.
00:14:25No, she's doing well.
00:14:26What?
00:14:27I'm not even sure who to clean your face.
00:14:28You're too bad.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30It's like אני's doing well.
00:14:31No, she's doing well.
00:14:33But she's doing well.
00:14:34She's doing well.
00:14:36She's doing well.
00:14:37She's doing well.
00:14:38She's doing well.
00:14:39Seriously?
00:14:51Oh shit.
00:14:57What the hell?
00:15:00Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:15:03She hasn't come home. Her phone is off.
00:15:05Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:09Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:19Shit.
00:15:24Hi! Alice!
00:15:26Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:28I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:31She hasn't come home.
00:15:33I'll have it sent over.
00:15:35Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:40Alice!
00:15:54Come on, Alice.
00:15:57Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:59It's fine.
00:16:00You're fine.
00:16:01You're fine.
00:16:02You're fine.
00:16:03I'll have it.
00:16:04No.
00:16:05No.
00:16:06No.
00:16:07No.
00:16:08No.
00:16:10No.
00:16:11No.
00:16:13No.
00:16:14No.
00:16:17No.
00:16:18No.
00:16:20No.
00:16:22Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:28Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:35What are you doing here?
00:16:40Can you get off me first?
00:16:42I'm so certain
00:16:43Did I ask her to?
00:16:48Isn't my fault I thought we would...
00:16:52You're welcome
00:16:54I didn't say thank you
00:16:56I figured saving your life might only be basic manners
00:16:58Someone just dumped swamp water on me
00:17:01Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite
00:17:03You smell like a biology experiment
00:17:05Wow
00:17:07You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it
00:17:11I wouldn't recommend it
00:17:12You're heavier than you look
00:17:15I hope you pull your shoulder
00:17:22Are you okay?
00:17:24No
00:17:25But I will be
00:17:27Someone did this on purpose
00:17:29What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:32Don't worry, I can handle it
00:17:33You shouldn't have to
00:17:35I'm...
00:17:37I'm...
00:17:39Sorry
00:17:46Sorry
00:17:52Did you just...
00:17:53Apologize to me?
00:17:54Don't get used to it
00:17:55I wouldn't dream of it
00:17:59Alice?
00:18:00Over here
00:18:02God
00:18:04You okay?
00:18:07Why are you drenched?
00:18:09Yeah, I just...
00:18:11Took a weird shower
00:18:12Top exploded
00:18:15Come on, let's get you home
00:18:26Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:27Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:30I heard she staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:56I know how this place works
00:18:58If you don't do anything about it
00:19:00It's only going to get worse
00:19:02I'll look into it
00:19:05Charles
00:19:07Good on you
00:19:09How many here would speak up?
00:19:14I can't believe someone actually locked you in
00:19:16That's insane
00:19:18And where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:21Busy protecting their golden boys and trust flags
00:19:23Well, for what it's worth
00:19:26I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night
00:19:30Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:19:49Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:19:51Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:19:54And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:19:58Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:02Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:05But sometimes, being here means staying behind
00:20:09And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:20:12You can never afford
00:20:13Have fun
00:20:16Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:20:24The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:20:27Which translates to
00:20:29Mom's salary for half a year
00:20:31So yeah, I didn't go
00:20:32What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:34Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:35It's comfortable
00:20:36You look like a rejected Ewok
00:20:37This... this is not even your kitchen
00:20:38And this is not even your house
00:20:39What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:40Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:41It's comfortable
00:20:42You look like a rejected Ewok
00:20:43This... this is not even your kitchen
00:20:44And this is not even your house
00:20:45And yet, you're here, dressed like this
00:20:46Just don't... look, go away
00:20:47Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that
00:20:48What do you guys call it?
00:20:49Um...
00:20:50What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:51Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:52Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:53It's comfortable
00:20:54You look like a rejected Ewok
00:20:55This... this is not even your kitchen
00:20:56And this is not even your house
00:20:57And yet, you're here, dressed like this
00:20:58Just don't... look, go away
00:20:59Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that
00:21:00What do you guys call it? Um...
00:21:01Buzzkill... Cockblock
00:21:18You're insufferable
00:21:20You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:21:22You know what? I don't get it
00:21:24Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:26I thought rich people live for that kind of thing
00:21:28Why, do you think?
00:21:29What do you think?
00:21:35Where would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:40Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:46Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:50Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:56Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:02The final stop, Harry. The ultimate city of romance.
00:22:08And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:15That's word for word.
00:22:18I told you, I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:22:22Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:25Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:30Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:32Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:34Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:38Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:41That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:44One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:46That's two words.
00:22:48You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying. You're in my kitchen.
00:22:53You have three other kitchens. And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:22:58Come back when you've got a shirt on. Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:01You didn't have to come. Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:03Master Charles. Roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight. Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:16I've got it sorted.
00:23:21Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:35Relax. I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:39What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:46You'll survive.
00:23:48I'm not selling my body.
00:23:54I'm not selling my body.
00:23:59Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:24:03That thought disgusts me.
00:24:05Then what are you doing?
00:24:06The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:24:12Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:15No, I- I-
00:24:16Jesus.
00:24:18Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:23I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:26You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:31Are you sure about that?
00:24:32I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries. You're welcome.
00:24:41Interesting combo.
00:24:42Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:46It's...
00:24:48Good.
00:24:49Good.
00:24:54Was that a compliment?
00:24:56Although...
00:24:57I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:59Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:01It's American.
00:25:02And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:06You should read more.
00:25:08Put it down.
00:25:10I paid for it.
00:25:11You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:13To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:17It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:25:21You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have been giving it to you.
00:25:23I'll make sure that.
00:25:24I'll make sure that.
00:25:40Hey Alice, it's fine.
00:25:42You're fine.
00:25:50911, look for your emergency.
00:25:54911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:58It's my dad.
00:25:59He needs help.
00:26:00He just had a stroke.
00:26:01Okay, miss.
00:26:02Hurricane's constant.
00:26:03Traffic shut down.
00:26:04We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:05Please, he's not well.
00:26:07I understand.
00:26:08Can you confirm your address?
00:26:11Hi.
00:26:12Yes, I'm right here.
00:26:13Hi.
00:26:15My daughter.
00:26:17Please, stay with me, dad.
00:26:18Please.
00:26:19Please, wake up.
00:26:20I'm not so sorry.
00:26:21No.
00:26:24Please, wake up.
00:26:25This one?
00:26:26No...
00:26:29please, wake up.
00:26:31Dad, please.
00:26:32Please don't leave me.
00:26:33Leave me!
00:27:03What are you doing here?
00:27:11You were crying.
00:27:13Loudly.
00:27:15Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:17Right.
00:27:19Sorry for the annoying.
00:27:21Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:27:23Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:25If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:29You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:31Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:35Power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:37Dad had a stroke.
00:27:39But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:41I sat there with a candle.
00:27:45Oh, he laid there.
00:27:47Peaceful.
00:27:49Like he was asleep.
00:27:51But he wasn't.
00:27:53He was asleep.
00:27:55But he wasn't.
00:27:57So that's why you and your mum moved here.
00:28:01This used to be our hometown.
00:28:03After dad left,
00:28:05we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:07What are you doing?
00:28:09Come on.
00:28:11Wait.
00:28:13I thought the power was empty.
00:28:15I thought the power was empty.
00:28:17I didn't know where else to go.
00:28:19What are you doing?
00:28:21Come on.
00:28:23Come on.
00:28:39Wait.
00:28:40I thought the power was out.
00:28:41It is.
00:28:43We have our own generator.
00:28:44Wow.
00:28:45Rich people houses her.
00:28:47Just for tonight,
00:28:49I'll allow it.
00:28:51Allow what?
00:28:53You can call this place your house.
00:28:55So enjoy it.
00:28:56Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:57Alan Gisbo's handwritten letters.
00:28:59Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:01All yours.
00:29:03This.
00:29:05This.
00:29:07Is your home.
00:29:09Alice Keaton.
00:29:16Careful.
00:29:17Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:19Don't push it.
00:29:21Okay then.
00:29:24I have.
00:29:27One request.
00:29:30What is it?
00:29:33Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:39Wait.
00:29:40Give me a second.
00:29:41I'm thinking.
00:29:42You had one wish.
00:29:44Anything in the world.
00:29:46And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:48Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:50You chose chess.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:53Got a problem?
00:29:54It'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.
00:30:04Wait.
00:30:05Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:07For the tenth time.
00:30:08It moves in an L shape.
00:30:11One.
00:30:12Two.
00:30:13Then turn.
00:30:15There.
00:30:17Happy?
00:30:18Ecstatic.
00:30:21No.
00:30:22That's suicide.
00:30:23Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:30:25You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:27Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:28You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:30Golding disagrees.
00:30:31It's going to be a long night.
00:30:33Oh my.
00:30:34No.
00:30:35Why?
00:30:36You can't do that.
00:30:37You can't do that.
00:30:38No.
00:30:39Oh my god.
00:30:40You had to shop a trip when about it all wrong.
00:30:43Tired to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:47Now you're sour cause I'm moving on.
00:30:51Oh yeah.
00:30:52Showing up at my door.
00:30:56Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:00Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:03Um, who are you?
00:31:17What are you doing here?
00:31:18Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:21Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:23Who 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.
00:31:30messages. I missed you. Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you. Apparently I'm transferring
00:31:38to Ashford. Your parents were so thrilled. They didn't tell me about this. I wanted to
00:31:43deliver the happy news myself. They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect. You know, considering
00:31:50the engagement and all. Engagement. Oh, did no one tell you? He's promised. Old money
00:31:59stuff. Very retro. I didn't agree to that. You didn't have to. It's never up to us. Where
00:32:06did you find this little toy? Serena. Oh, an American. How refreshing. Goodbye. Wait.
00:32:29Where are you going? You still owe me breakfast. You only paid for dinner. I had homework.
00:32:43Goodbye.
00:32:46Your little toy has quite the temper. Serena, can you please just stop? What? Teasing the
00:32:52help. That's her. That's the one from Kenwood's house. Was she like, the maid or something?
00:33:04Oh my god. What's wrong with people? They're saying you live with Charles. Oh, and Serena.
00:33:26What about her? Apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room. Of course
00:33:32she did. Careful, Alice. You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:48Come to the music room. Urgent. I just remembered I need to check something. You guys go ahead.
00:34:09Yeah, okay. Hello? Is someone there? Seriously? This is getting old.
00:34:21James? Is anybody in here earlier? Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you. Sir? Sir,
00:34:43Sir? Sir, it's raining.
00:34:45Come on, Alice. You're fine. You're not that girl again. Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:11One more time. Okay. Rooks move in straight lines. Bishops move diagonally. And knights...
00:35:19The knights the weird one. Rooks. Straight lines. Bishops. Diagonally. Hello?
00:35:34Hello? The text. Are you okay? Are you hurt? I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:02I... I didn't see the message. Serena took my phone. I... I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:36:07I'm... okay. You're gonna catch a cold. You're freezing. You didn't have to come.
00:36:13Don't tell me what I have to do. Give me hope that feels like home.
00:36:24Don't tell me what I have to do. That wasn't a mistake. If that's what you're about to say. I... wasn't going to.
00:36:47I'm going to.
00:37:00You're really bad at this, you know.
00:37:02What? Kissing?
00:37:04Hiding feelings.
00:37:05I'm all right.
00:37:06I'm all right.
00:37:07Let's do the rhythm of your hope
00:37:10This is not the giving of going in the animal
00:37:14Tell me what you said and tell me what you want
00:37:18Tell me how you do
00:37:20Dump those Ewok pyjamas
00:37:30Oh, you wish
00:37:32Seriously, it's a cock block
00:37:36You kissed me
00:37:38That's basically consent to everything
00:37:43Dangerous words, Keaton
00:37:49I might hold you to that
00:38:00You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays
00:38:03The list is on the board
00:38:04One, two, three, four
00:38:09Are you okay?
00:38:13Fly me to outer space
00:38:16That's where I'll see your face
00:38:21And have you with me
00:38:25It may seem dark
00:38:31But you always like my spark
00:38:35You're welcome
00:38:43They're either enemies or secretly married
00:38:50Honestly, both
00:38:53I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around
00:38:59No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:39:02They all just let me down
00:39:03But baby, you saved me
00:39:07Time been new
00:39:09Everything's so different now
00:39:12So the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:16Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:18Because it's weird
00:39:20And I like weird
00:39:22Check
00:39:23You're cheating
00:39:24I'm winning
00:39:25There's a difference
00:39:26You are very distracting
00:39:28And you like it
00:39:44I will be the four in your day
00:39:47I'll be in the darkest place
00:39:52I'll hold you in my arms
00:39:55Charles
00:39:55We need to talk
00:39:58I expected poor judgment
00:40:07But this in my house
00:40:10It isn't what it looks like
00:40:11No
00:40:12Kissing a servant's daughter
00:40:14In the family library
00:40:16Enlighten me then, Charles
00:40:18We came back tonight
00:40:19After speaking with Serena
00:40:20Imagine our surprise
00:40:22Walking in on
00:40:23This
00:40:24She isn't just
00:40:25You have no right
00:40:27To barge in
00:40:28On my property
00:40:29I care about her
00:40:34I'm not ashamed
00:40:35That's enough
00:40:36Why do you care?
00:40:41We're protecting our son's future
00:40:43And our name
00:40:45You think this protects me?
00:40:47We think
00:40:48She does not belong
00:40:49In your world
00:40:50Then maybe I don't either
00:40:55You're ready to give up everything
00:40:59For a girl you barely know
00:41:01Yes
00:41:04Then
00:41:05Are you sure
00:41:07She's ready?
00:41:14I'm asking you
00:41:16Do you think she's ready
00:41:17To lose everything
00:41:18Regardless of how little
00:41:20That is
00:41:20Just to be with you?
00:41:22What are you talking about?
00:41:26Your father
00:41:27Pelton
00:41:30It's Frederick Kenwood
00:41:33Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:41:35How can I help?
00:41:36If a scholarship student
00:41:37Were to violate
00:41:38Our behavioural code
00:41:40In a public setting
00:41:42With photographic evidence
00:41:43Would that warrant a review?
00:41:46Yes, sir
00:41:47So
00:41:50Answer me again
00:41:52Do you think she's ready
00:41:54To lose everything
00:41:55Just to be with you?
00:41:57Charles
00:42:08What happened?
00:42:09Did your parents say something?
00:42:10Are they mad?
00:42:11Is everything okay?
00:42:13Pack your things
00:42:14You can't stay here anymore
00:42:16What?
00:42:19My parents fired your mother
00:42:21She's leaving
00:42:22So are you
00:42:24Wait, what?
00:42:24Why?
00:42:25Is it because of us?
00:42:27We can fix this
00:42:28I'll get a job
00:42:28Stop, stop it
00:42:29You don't get it
00:42:30If I don't walk away from this
00:42:33They'll cut me off
00:42:34Okay?
00:42:36No card
00:42:36No trust
00:42:38No support
00:42:38Nothing
00:42:40Then
00:42:41Then we'll figure it out
00:42:43We don't need all that
00:42:44We can
00:42:45Do you really think
00:42:47I'm going to live like that
00:42:48So that's what this was
00:42:52Just fun
00:42:54Until it got inconvenient
00:42:55What did they promise you?
00:43:01Nothing
00:43:02They just reminded me
00:43:06Of what's real
00:43:07Charles
00:43:11I'm not stupid
00:43:12You don't just turn into
00:43:14A cold stranger
00:43:15Because of one conversation
00:43:16What did they threaten you with?
00:43:23What did they threaten you with?
00:43:25This is the difference
00:43:26Between me and you
00:43:27What?
00:43:28You think you know me
00:43:29Or what I have
00:43:31You don't
00:43:33Alice
00:43:33You're still lying
00:43:35I'm not
00:43:36Alice
00:43:36Look around you
00:43:38This mansion
00:43:39You thought was a museum
00:43:41It's my house
00:43:43My world
00:43:45I was bored into this
00:43:47I am not choosing
00:43:48Between this
00:43:49And something I picked up
00:43:53For a moment
00:43:54Of fun
00:43:55Don't do this Charles
00:43:59You don't mean it
00:44:00It was fun
00:44:01But you
00:44:03You don't compare to what I own
00:44:06I'll survive the loss
00:44:09Right
00:44:13I should have known
00:44:16Guys like you
00:44:18Don't end up with girls like me
00:44:20You play with them
00:44:24Then you throw them away
00:44:25Go to sleep Alice
00:44:28This fall is a little more
00:44:42Than I expected
00:44:43In so deep
00:44:47I can barely see myself
00:44:50Yeah around me
00:44:53Feels so heavy
00:44:55But depleted
00:44:57But I find
00:44:59Just a place
00:45:00To test myself
00:45:02Oops
00:45:11Oh sorry
00:45:29Didn't see that
00:45:31Then again
00:45:32Nobody does
00:45:33Move please
00:45:34Try begging
00:45:37You know what
00:45:44Keep it
00:45:44Poor thing
00:45:50So dramatic
00:45:52Don't
00:45:54Excuse me
00:45:56I warned you
00:45:57Walk away Serena
00:45:59Last week's group assignments were
00:46:21Mostly forgettable
00:46:23But one pair surprised me
00:46:25In a good way
00:46:26Charles Kenwood
00:46:28And Alice Keaton
00:46:29Would you mind giving us
00:46:31Her short summary
00:46:32She loves the sound
00:46:33Of her own voice
00:46:34Better have it
00:46:35I couldn't stay
00:46:36I couldn't wait
00:46:38I thought that you should know
00:46:40That I would have
00:46:42Can hang around
00:46:43Our essay
00:46:44Explored what happens
00:46:46When two fundamentally
00:46:47Different voices meet
00:46:48Like logic and chaos
00:46:50Or silence and noise
00:46:52Different worlds
00:46:54Different rules
00:46:55At first glance
00:46:58They clash
00:46:59But what makes the story
00:47:01Interesting
00:47:02Is what happens next
00:47:03Confusion
00:47:04Curiosity
00:47:05But in the end
00:47:07Some stories
00:47:08Aren't about staying
00:47:09And yes
00:47:10There is no such thing
00:47:11As a happy ending
00:47:12And yes
00:47:22There is no such thing
00:47:23As a happy ending
00:47:24Is she still talking
00:47:27About the essay
00:47:28Miss Keaton
00:47:31Dramatic as always
00:47:34Alright
00:47:35Thank you Alice
00:47:36That was
00:47:38Laid
00:47:39Are you okay
00:47:41A reminder
00:47:42That good literature
00:47:44Always stirs something
00:47:46Hello
00:47:49Hi
00:47:50Here's Alice Keaton
00:47:51This is Whitmore Press
00:47:52We've been following your work
00:47:53We'd like to offer you
00:47:54A long term publishing contract
00:47:56Name your price
00:47:57We'll
00:47:57We'll make it work
00:47:58Sorry what
00:47:59That's
00:48:03Kind of
00:48:04Insane
00:48:05Who's behind this
00:48:07Your sponsor wishes to remain
00:48:08Anonymous
00:48:09Can
00:48:10Can I meet them
00:48:12I want to
00:48:15Please
00:48:16Or at least
00:48:17Tell me a name
00:48:18Sorry
00:48:22They wish to stay in office
00:48:23So they're only interested in work
00:48:25Not the person
00:48:25I'd really like to meet them
00:48:27I'm sorry
00:48:27I'm sorry
00:48:27But you said
00:48:28That's your admiration
00:48:29I think the most jealous
00:48:30Orc we've ever given
00:48:31An interview
00:48:31I see
00:48:34Congratulations again
00:48:35You got the interview
00:48:41It's just an interview
00:48:42I haven't got it yet
00:48:43Still
00:48:44Alice Keaton
00:48:45At Oxford
00:48:45That's iconic
00:48:47You okay?
00:48:56Yeah
00:48:58I'm so excited
00:49:00I'm so excited
00:49:00It's done
00:49:13Mr. Kenwood
00:49:14Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:49:16Good
00:49:17It's a generous deal
00:49:20You sure you don't want it to know?
00:49:22No
00:49:23No
00:49:25It's better if I stay out of her life
00:49:26I will be before you
00:49:30I'll be there in your darkest days
00:49:35Congratulations
00:49:37Alice Keaton
00:49:38Go live the life
00:49:40You were always meant to
00:49:42Your engagement announcement
00:49:48Should align perfectly
00:49:49With the Foundation Gala
00:49:51And the Browns already offered
00:49:53To host the London reception
00:49:55It's all coming together
00:49:58Beautifully
00:49:59I've lost my appetite
00:50:03I'll go check on him
00:50:08What's your problem Charles?
00:50:15Disengagement
00:50:19Disengagement
00:50:19Is not happening
00:50:21It's not up to you
00:50:22You know that
00:50:23Serena we're not doing this
00:50:25You've changed
00:50:27Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:33Taras
00:50:35You're the
00:50:51Spon konkret
00:50:52You're the
00:50:55Spon symmetry
00:50:59Tars
00:51:03You're the sponsor.
00:51:04You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:09So?
00:51:10You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:13I protected her.
00:51:17You loved her.
00:51:19Still do.
00:51:21Let it go, Serena.
00:51:24There's no point.
00:51:32I need a favour.
00:51:36Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:39And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:46Anything?
00:51:47No?
00:51:49She's not answering.
00:51:50The interview's almost over.
00:51:52Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:54Something's wrong.
00:51:56Where's Alice?
00:51:58When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:00Last night.
00:52:01She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:07James.
00:52:07Track someone for me.
00:52:10Wait.
00:52:11Where are you going?
00:52:19Chill.
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:21It won't hurt you.
00:52:22Yeah.
00:52:23We're just...
00:52:24We're just...
00:52:25We're just...
00:52:26We're just...
00:52:27We're just...
00:52:28We're just...
00:52:29We're just...
00:52:30We're just...
00:52:31We're just...
00:52:34Shex!
00:52:35Come back!
00:52:36Come back!
00:52:50Come back!
00:52:52Hey, hey, hey, Alex, Alex, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alex, Alex.
00:53:22You're awake.
00:53:28Where, where am I?
00:53:30A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in.
00:53:34Passer-by.
00:53:35He found you on the side of the road. He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.
00:53:41Oh.
00:53:43The interview, what time is it?
00:53:45Easy, it's okay.
00:53:47Someone already contacted the university and sent in your writing samples.
00:53:52They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:53Wait, what, who?
00:53:55No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:54:00What did you say?
00:54:03Nothing. I just had a dream.
00:54:07Oh, I knew it.
00:54:24Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:54:27He's not here.
00:54:29Oh, you didn't know?
00:54:32Know what?
00:54:33He left.
00:54:35A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:38Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him.
00:54:41It's probably for the best.
00:54:42Come on.
00:54:48Alice?
00:54:49The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:54:57Chaotic.
00:54:58Unexpected.
00:55:01And with his absence...
00:55:03Come on!
00:55:05It ended quietly.
00:55:09Like summers always do.
00:55:11And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:55:29Thank you for having me.
00:55:31Now, your words moved millions.
00:55:34They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:55:40Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:55:42How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:44No comment.
00:55:46A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single date.
00:55:52Let me guess a bird named Sherry.
00:55:54She caught me.
00:55:55Still no comment.
00:55:56All right, all right.
00:55:57No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:56:03If you're so real...
00:56:04Because once, I did.
00:56:06That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love.
00:56:10And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:13And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:56:27Congratulations, Alice.
00:56:28The numbers just came in.
00:56:30You broke your own record.
00:56:32That's...
00:56:33Incredible.
00:56:35We're thinking celebration?
00:56:36Press?
00:56:37Photos?
00:56:38Maybe tonight?
00:56:39Actually...
00:56:39There's something I'd rather do.
00:56:43I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:56:47My sponsor.
00:56:49You're sure?
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Just once.
00:56:53Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:54Good evening.
00:57:10Good evening.
00:57:13May I sit?
00:57:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:57:23Hi.
00:57:25Hi.
00:57:28You look well.
00:57:31And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:57:35You always did.
00:57:37You were expecting someone else.
00:57:40I was...
00:57:42hoping.
00:57:42But I guess I always knew.
00:57:46I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:57:49Or to reopen anything.
00:57:52I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:56Oh.
00:58:00Didn't know you were still reading.
00:58:02You were rich enough not to do so.
00:58:05Always.
00:58:06Either way.
00:58:08Your sponsorship started my career.
00:58:11So...
00:58:11No.
00:58:12No.
00:58:13You...
00:58:13You earned everything.
00:58:17Every word.
00:58:19Every page.
00:58:22Every reader.
00:58:23That's what I came to say.
00:58:25It was good to see you again.
00:58:31I hope.
00:58:31Charles.
00:58:33Can you just...
00:58:36Wait a little longer?
00:58:37I think I knew it was you.
00:58:47There was one email.
00:58:50You said something.
00:58:51Felt familiar.
00:58:53Really?
00:58:53I kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:57Very on brand.
00:58:59I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:01Too late.
00:59:02Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:05Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:59:08Still the only god I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:59:11You've changed.
00:59:17But...
00:59:17Not really.
00:59:20You haven't changed.
00:59:22But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:59:27Anyway.
00:59:29I wanted to say...
00:59:33And...
00:59:34Thanks for being here tonight.
00:59:37You didn't have to come.
00:59:38Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:44You didn't have to come.
00:59:46Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:49Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:08If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
01:00:20No.
01:00:25No.
01:00:25I see.
01:00:34I know my answer now.
01:00:35I didn't have the power back then.
01:00:37Not enough to protect you.
01:00:40I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:00:43Because of my name.
01:00:44My family.
01:00:45I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:00:50So you just disappeared.
01:00:52Without a word.
01:00:56If you had the chance to see the world.
01:00:59Without me weighing you down.
01:01:01If you still chose me after that.
01:01:03You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:01:10But you made a choice for me.
01:01:14Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...
01:01:18I would have chosen you anyway?
01:01:21I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:01:29You weren't.
01:01:32But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:01:42This is me.
01:01:44Right.
01:01:44Right.
01:01:51I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:01:56I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:02:06Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:10You're asking your ex,
01:02:12who you haven't seen in four years,
01:02:15to come into your hotel
01:02:16at approximately 11pm.
01:02:20You were right.
01:02:21You never were that smart.
01:02:24You don't have to come.
01:02:25Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:02:42Stop quoting yourself.
01:02:43I recycle.
01:02:44It saves energy.
01:02:46This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:02:49You sound like a disclaimer.
01:02:50You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:02:53I said that?
01:02:54Yeah.
01:02:54Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:02:57Still is.
01:02:59You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:03:04That is cute to me.
01:03:06Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:03:08I wasn't going to.
01:03:09I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:03:12Then shut up.
01:03:13You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:03:14And prove it.
01:03:15You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:03:17I still can't believe this is happening.
01:03:23I told you that you're the worst enemies or secretly married.
01:03:26And I told you they're both.
01:03:27I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:03:57Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:04:00Then I lie.
01:04:02Respectfully.
01:04:05I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:07Loudly.
01:04:09Quietly.
01:04:11Always.
01:04:11Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:17Is he actually good at this?
01:04:19I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm.
01:04:24I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:04:27Especially over Shakespeare.
01:04:30I vow to write you into every story.
01:04:33Even when I say I didn't.
01:04:35You will always be a part of my life.
01:04:36If she quotes Austin in this toast, I'm out.
01:04:40No you're not.
01:04:41You're going to cry harder.
01:04:42I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:08Such a cliche honeymoon destination.
01:05:10Guardian, guard your phone.
01:05:13Relax.
01:05:14Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:19You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:23Please, Alice, go change.
01:05:25Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:05:31No.
01:05:32No, no, no, no.
01:05:34That is not an invitation to...
01:05:35Do not take off these clothes.
01:05:37I'm so overruled.
01:05:38You look much better without them.
01:05:46To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:52Sometimes I want to be on my own.
01:05:59But I don't want to die alone.
01:06:01God.
01:06:05Really?
01:06:06It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:06:32Help us develop, learn and grow.
