00:05:54Wait!
00:05:56Are you serious?
00:05:58Well, you said you were trying.
00:06:02What is wrong with you?
00:06:03Funny.
00:06:04I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:06:06What are you doing in my house?
00:06:10You...
00:06:10Wait.
00:06:12Your house?
00:06:13My house.
00:06:14My library.
00:06:16And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:06:21Ah, Master Charles.
00:06:22You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:06:25She said you'd be moving in today.
00:06:26She what?
00:06:27There...
00:06:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:06:30You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:06:33Is that so?
00:06:34Yeah.
00:06:35I'm not staying here.
00:06:36Like, at all.
00:06:37That's a shame.
00:06:38Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:06:40Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:06:42Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:06:47Come on, Alice.
00:06:50You must stay.
00:06:53It'll be fun.
00:06:55My dear classmate.
00:06:59I'm dead.
00:07:01Like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:07:10Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:07:15Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:07:18You've been through hell.
00:07:18I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:07:22No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:07:24They all just let me go.
00:07:25This is hell.
00:07:27But baby, you saved me.
00:07:28Hi.
00:07:29Good morning.
00:07:37Wow.
00:07:44Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:47One thing doesn't know.
00:07:49That's what's been closed for months.
00:07:50She's going to be late.
00:07:57Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:08:00Maybe I'll just walk?
00:08:02Five miles to school.
00:08:05Okay.
00:08:06If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:08:10Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:08:15Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:08:18What are you doing here?
00:08:20Didn't you already leave?
00:08:24Wait.
00:08:25Did you come back for me?
00:08:28Relax.
00:08:30I forgot my textbook.
00:08:32Don't flatter yourself.
00:08:34Wait!
00:08:37Since you're already here,
00:08:39maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:44No.
00:08:46Seriously?
00:08:47Your car is huge!
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:51And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:08:54Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:01Unbelievable!
00:09:11Ashford Institute, please.
00:09:17Who needs that entitled brat anyway?
00:09:20Sir, you called the cab.
00:09:22Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:29Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:30And have the whole school go crazy.
00:09:33She's new.
00:09:34Everybody's already talking.
00:09:36So you're worried about her?
00:09:38You're overthinking.
00:09:40I just don't like drama.
00:09:47Asshol.
00:09:48Hey.
00:09:50Morning, Klaus.
00:09:53Back to Golding.
00:09:54Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:01Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:05Not particularly.
00:10:07Oh, I insist.
00:10:09You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:12I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:10:15On the contrary.
00:10:16I think his ending is...
00:10:19Weak.
00:10:20Wait, wait.
00:10:22You actually read it?
00:10:23Quiet.
00:10:25That's an interesting take.
00:10:27Explain.
00:10:29He had the set up for something brutal.
00:10:32Something honest.
00:10:33But in the end, he backed out.
00:10:36He could have left the boys on the island.
00:10:38Forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability.
00:10:40Let them choose survival.
00:10:42Or death.
00:10:44But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:10:46Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:10:53It's a waste.
00:10:54Don't you think?
00:10:55I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:10:57Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:11:00I'm always a model student, sir.
00:11:02Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:11:06So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:11:09Anyone disagree?
00:11:25I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:11:29It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:11:31How so?
00:11:35The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:11:38You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:11:41Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:45That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:11:47You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:50In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:11:54Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:11:59And the civilized world?
00:12:01Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:12:04So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:13Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:12:15Well said.
00:12:16Anyone else?
00:12:19Both opinions are valid.
00:12:21Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:12:23And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:27Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:12:32What's happening to me?
00:12:39Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:43Well, you're new.
00:12:44And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:12:47A what now?
00:12:48You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years.
00:12:52We're not even fighting.
00:12:53Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected,
00:12:58begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:13:00And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings,
00:13:05and stormed out in tears.
00:13:09If you were there, Sherry, that is not what happened.
00:13:13Doesn't matter.
00:13:14People believe what they want to believe.
00:13:16And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:13:20Wow.
00:13:21Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:24Honestly, both.
00:13:26But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:13:38Okay.
00:13:39Loaded.
00:13:40Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:13:58Hello?
00:14:00Hello?
00:14:01Hello?
00:14:02Is somebody out there?
00:14:05Oh, come on!
00:14:19Fine.
00:14:34Seriously?
00:14:38Shit.
00:14:43What the hell?
00:14:46Anne.
00:14:47I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:48She hasn't come home.
00:14:49Her phone is off.
00:14:50Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:55Yikes.
00:14:56Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:04Shit.
00:15:09Anne!
00:15:11Alice!
00:15:11Mr. Pelton.
00:15:12Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:14I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:16She hasn't come home.
00:15:18I'll have it sent over.
00:15:20Check the common room in the library.
00:15:22I'll take the rest.
00:15:25Alice!
00:15:39Come on, Alice.
00:15:42Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:44It's fine.
00:15:46We're fine.
00:15:47We're fine.
00:15:57It's fine.
00:16:01We're fine.
00:16:02We're fine.
00:16:03We're fine.
00:16:05We're fine.
00:16:09It's fine.
00:16:11If you haven't found the girls out on a podcast.
00:16:11Of anyone else, if you haven't found the girls out on a podcast.
00:16:14We're fine.
00:16:20What are you doing here?
00:16:24Can you get off me first?
00:16:35You're welcome.
00:16:37I didn't say thank you.
00:16:39I figured saving your life might only be basic manners.
00:16:42Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:44Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:46You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:49Wow.
00:16:50You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:54I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:16:59I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:06Are you okay?
00:17:08No, but I will be.
00:17:11Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:12What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:15Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:17You shouldn't have to.
00:17:21I'm sorry.
00:17:29Sorry.
00:17:34Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:37Don't get used to it.
00:17:38I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:41Alice?
00:17:43Over here.
00:17:44Oh my god.
00:17:47You okay?
00:17:50Are you drenched?
00:17:51Yeah.
00:17:52I just...
00:17:52took a weird shower.
00:17:54Top exploded.
00:17:57Come on.
00:17:58Stay home.
00:18:09Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:12I heard you say to the whole thing for attention.
00:18:37I know how this place works.
00:18:39If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:44I'll look into it.
00:18:47Charles?
00:18:49Good on you.
00:18:50How many here would speak up?
00:18:56I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:18:58That's insane.
00:18:59Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:02Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:05Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:11Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:29Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't
00:19:37even let you pass the gates.
00:19:39Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:19:42Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:45But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:19:49And watching Ask for the Leaps go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:19:55Have fun.
00:19:57Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:04The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:10So, yeah. I didn't go.
00:20:14I didn't go.
00:20:34What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:36Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:38It's comfortable.
00:20:39You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:42This... 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.
00:20:48Just don't. Look, go away.
00:20:50Hard not to.
00:20:51When you're walking around dressed like that.
00:20:53What do you guys call it?
00:20:57Um... buzzkill... cock block.
00:20:59You're insufferable.
00:21:00You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:02You people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:05Why do you think?
00:21:11Where would I go?
00:21:12I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:15Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:22Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:26Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:32Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:34Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:38The final stop, Harry. The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:44And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:21:51That's... word for word.
00:21:53I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:21:57Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:01Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:06Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:08Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:10Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No, thank you.
00:22:14Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:17That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:20One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:22That's two words.
00:22:25You're weird.
00:22:26You're loud.
00:22:27You're annoying.
00:22:27You're in my kitchen.
00:22:28You have three other kitchens.
00:22:29And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:22:32Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:34Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:36You didn't have to come.
00:22:37Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:47Master Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight.
00:22:50Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:22:55I've got it sorted.
00:23:07Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:09Relax.
00:23:12I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:14What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:20You'll survive.
00:23:22I'm not selling my body.
00:23:27I'm not selling my body.
00:23:33Wow.
00:23:34I am deeply offended.
00:23:37That thought disgusts me.
00:23:39Then what are you doing?
00:23:41The staff's off tonight.
00:23:42I'm buying dinner.
00:23:46Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:23:49No, I'm...
00:23:50Jesus.
00:23:51Wait.
00:23:53You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:23:56I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:00You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:04Are you sure about that?
00:24:07I present to you.
00:24:09Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:12You're welcome.
00:24:14Interesting combo.
00:24:15Hello?
00:24:15Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:19It's...
00:24:21Good.
00:24:27Was that a compliment?
00:24:28Although...
00:24:29I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:32Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:34It's American.
00:24:35And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:38You should read more.
00:24:40Put it down.
00:24:42I paid for it.
00:24:43You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:46To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:24:50It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:24:53You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:24:56I'll make sure that.
00:25:08I'll make sure that.
00:25:11Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:14You're fine.
00:25:17I'm fine.

00:37:05Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:37:17You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:20The list is on the board.
00:37:29Are you okay?
00:37:32In outer space, that's where I'll see your face and have you with me.
00:37:44It may seem dark, but you always lie in my heart in my heart.
00:37:59You're welcome.
00:38:03They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:08Honestly, both.
00:38:09I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head stand around.
00:38:16No one's ever gonna be the thing I need. They all just let me down.
00:38:20But baby, you saved me.
00:38:23Time brand new.
00:38:26Everything's so different now.
00:38:29So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:33Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:35Because it's weird.
00:38:37And I like weird.
00:38:46Check.
00:38:53You're cheating.
00:38:54I'm winning.
00:38:56There's a difference.
00:38:57You are very distracting.
00:38:59And you like it.
00:39:00I will be before you, babe.
00:39:04I'll be in the dark in space.
00:39:09I'll hold you in my arms.
00:39:11Charles!
00:39:12We need to talk.
00:39:21I expected poor judgement, but this in my house?
00:39:25It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:27No.
00:39:28Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:31Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:33We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:36Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:39This.
00:39:40She isn't just...
00:39:41You have no right to barge in.
00:39:44On my property.
00:39:48I care about her.
00:39:50I'm not ashamed of that.
00:39:51That's enough.
00:39:54Why do you care?
00:39:55We're protecting our son's future.
00:39:58And our name.
00:40:00You think this protects me?
00:40:02We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:08Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:12You're ready to give up everything?
00:40:14For a girl you barely know?
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:20Then...
00:40:20Are you sure...
00:40:23She's ready?
00:40:29I'm asking you.
00:40:30Do you think she's ready?
00:40:32To lose everything, regardless of how little that is.
00:40:35Just to be with you.
00:40:36What are you talking about?
00:40:38You left us no choice, son.
00:40:40You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:40:44Pelton.
00:40:45It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:40:47Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:40:49How can I help?
00:40:50If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code
00:40:54in a public setting with photographic evidence,
00:40:57would that warrant a review?
00:41:00Yes, sir.
00:41:04So...
00:41:05Answer me again.
00:41:07Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:21Charles.
00:41:22What happened?
00:41:23Did your parents say something?
00:41:24Are they mad?
00:41:24Is everything okay?
00:41:26Pack your things.
00:41:28You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:31What?
00:41:33My parents fired your mother.
00:41:35She's leaving.
00:41:36So are you.
00:41:37Wait, what, why?
00:41:38Is it because of us?
00:41:40We can fix this.
00:41:41I'll get a job, anything.
00:41:42Stop, stop it.
00:41:42You don't get it.
00:41:44If I don't walk away from this,
00:41:46they'll cut me off.
00:41:48Okay?
00:41:49No card.
00:41:50No trust.
00:41:51No support.
00:41:52Nothing.
00:41:54Then...
00:41:54Then we'll figure it out.
00:41:56We don't need all that.
00:41:57We can...
00:41:59Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:04So that's what this was.
00:42:06Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:10What did they promise you?
00:42:14Nothing.
00:42:17They just reminded me of what's real.
00:42:23Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:42:25You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:42:29What did they threaten you with?
00:42:35What did they threaten you with?
00:42:37What did they threaten you with?
00:42:38This is the difference between me and you.
00:42:39What?
00:42:40You think you know me.
00:42:42Or what I have.
00:42:44You don't, Alice.
00:42:46You're still lying.
00:42:47I'm not, Alice.
00:42:49Look around you.
00:42:50This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:42:53It's my house.
00:42:55My world.
00:42:57I was bored into this.
00:42:59I am not choosing between this...
00:43:04...and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:09Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:11You don't mean it.
00:43:12Well, it was fine.
00:43:14But you?
00:43:16You don't compare it to what I own.
00:43:20I'll survive the loss.
00:43:21Alice.
00:43:24Right.
00:43:26I should have known.
00:43:29Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:34You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:38Go to sleep, Alice.
00:43:51This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:43:57In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:44:03Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:44:09But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:44:21Oops.
00:44:39Oh, sorry.
00:44:40Didn't see that.
00:44:41Then again, nobody does.
00:44:44Move, please.
00:44:46Try begging.
00:44:53You know what? Keep it.
00:44:59Poor thing.
00:45:01So dramatic.
00:45:03Don't.
00:45:04Excuse me?
00:45:06I warned you.
00:45:07Walk away, Serena.
00:45:21Don't.
00:45:21Don't.
00:45:23Don't.
00:45:28Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:45:33But one pair surprised me.
00:45:35In a good way.
00:45:36Charles Kenwood.
00:45:37And Alice Keaton.
00:45:39Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:45:42She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:45:44Let her have it.
00:45:52Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:45:57Like logic and chaos.
00:45:59Or silence and noise.
00:46:02Different worlds, different rules.
00:46:06At first glance, they clash.
00:46:09But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:12Confusion.
00:46:13Curiosity.
00:46:15But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:46:18And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:33Is she still talking about the essay?
00:46:39Miss Keaton.
00:46:41Dramatic as always.
00:46:43Alright.
00:46:44Thank you, Alice.
00:46:45That was...
00:46:47Leia.
00:46:49Are you okay?
00:46:50A reminder.
00:46:51That good literature.
00:46:53Always stirs something.
00:46:57Hello?
00:46:58Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:46:59This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:00We've been following your work.
00:47:01We'd like to offer you a long term publishing contract.
00:47:04Name your price.
00:47:05We'll make it work.
00:47:06Sorry, what?
00:47:11That's...
00:47:11Kind of...
00:47:13Insane.
00:47:13Who's behind this?
00:47:15Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:18Can...
00:47:19Can I meet them?
00:47:21I want to.
00:47:23Please.
00:47:24Or at least tell me a name.
00:47:29Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:47:31So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:47:33I'd really like to meet them.
00:47:34I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:47:35They were very good.
00:47:37I think the most generous offer we've ever given it in New York City.
00:47:40I see.
00:47:41Congratulations again.
00:47:47You got the interview.
00:47:48It's just an interview.
00:47:49I haven't got the interview yet.
00:47:50Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:47:53That's iconic.
00:48:01You okay?
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:05I'm so excited.
00:48:08I'm so excited.
00:48:22I haven't signed the contract.
00:48:24Good.
00:48:25It's a generous deal.
00:48:27You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:29No.
00:48:31No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:48:33I will be before your day.
00:48:38I'll be there in your darkest place.
00:48:43Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:48:45Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:48:52Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:48:58And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:03It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:08I've lost my appetite.
00:49:13I'll go check on him.
00:49:19What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:24This engagement is not happening.
00:49:27It's not up to you.
00:49:28You know that.
00:49:29Serena, we're not doing this.
00:49:32You've changed.
00:49:36Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:06You're the sponsor.
00:50:09You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:14So?
00:50:15You lied to everyone.
00:50:16Including her.
00:50:18I protected her.
00:50:21You loved her.
00:50:23You loved her.
00:50:23Still do.
00:50:26Let it go, Serena.
00:50:29There's no point.
00:50:39I need a favour.
00:50:40Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:50:43And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:50:50Anything?
00:50:51No?
00:50:53She's not answering.
00:50:54She's not answering.
00:50:55The interview's almost over.
00:50:56Well, she won't just not show up.
00:50:58Something's wrong.
00:51:00Where's Alice?
00:51:02When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:04Last night.
00:51:05She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:11What?
00:51:11James, track someone for me.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:15Where are you going?
00:51:23Chill, okay.
00:51:24The one hurt you.
00:51:26Yeah.
00:51:27We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:29That's it.
00:51:37Shit! Come back!
00:52:07I remember how I met
00:52:11Didn't need a second guess
00:52:16Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice?
00:52:19Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, Alice!
00:52:29You're awake?
00:52:31Where, where am I?
00:52:33A local clinic. Passive-by brought you in.
00:52:36Pass-through-by.
00:52:38He found you on the side of the road.
00:52:40He had to leave. He didn't leave a name.
00:52:43Oh.
00:52:46The interview! What time is it?
00:52:48Easy. It's okay.
00:52:50Someone already contacted the university.
00:52:52Anne sent in your writing samples.
00:52:54They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:52:56Wait, what? Who?
00:52:57No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:53:03What did you say?
00:53:04Nothing.
00:53:05I just...
00:53:08Had a dream.
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:18Did you?
00:53:19I got him!
00:53:20Oh, I knew it!
00:53:26Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:29He's not here.
00:53:31Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:33Know what?
00:53:35He left.
00:53:36A few days ago, yeah.
00:53:37Everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:53:40Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:53:42It's probably for the best.
00:53:43Come on.
00:53:43What?
00:53:49Alice?
00:53:53The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:53:57Chaotic.
00:53:59Unexpected.
00:54:02And with his absence...
00:54:04Come on!
00:54:05With me.
00:54:06It ended quietly...
00:54:08With the end of your eyes on me...
00:54:10Like summers always do.
00:54:14With the day of your eyes on me...
00:54:23With the day of your eyes on me...
00:54:34They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:54:40Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:54:42How's your dating life like these days?
00:54:45No comment.
00:54:46A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:54:52date.
00:54:53Let me guess a bird named Sherry.
00:54:54She caught me.
00:54:55Still no comment.
00:54:56Alright, alright.
00:54:58No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:03It feels so real.
00:55:05Because once, I did, with someone who felt like chaos and clarity.
00:55:10And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:55:13And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:55:27Congratulations Alice, the numbers just came in.
00:55:30You broke your own record.
00:55:33That's incredible.
00:55:35We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:55:39Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:55:43I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:55:47My sponsor.
00:55:49You're sure?
00:55:49Yeah.
00:55:50Just once.
00:55:52Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:04Good evening.
00:56:08Good evening.
00:56:12May I sit?
00:56:17Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:23Hi.
00:56:24Hi.
00:56:27You look well.
00:56:30And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:34You always did.
00:56:36You were expecting someone else.
00:56:38I was hoping.
00:56:42But I guess I always knew.
00:56:45I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:56:47Or to reopen anything.
00:56:49Hope you liked the attention.
00:56:51I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:56:55Oh.
00:56:56Thanks for keeping me safe.
00:56:59I didn't know you were still reading.
00:57:00You were rich enough not to do so.
00:57:04Always.
00:57:05Either so.
00:57:07No.
00:57:08No.
00:57:08You earned everything.
00:57:12Every word.
00:57:14Every page.
00:57:17Every reader.
00:57:19That's what I came to say.
00:57:24It was good to see you again.
00:57:26I hope.
00:57:26Charles.
00:57:28Can you just.
00:57:31Wait a little longer.
00:57:37I think.
00:57:38No.
00:57:39No.
00:57:39I think I knew it was you.
00:57:42There was one email.
00:57:44You said something.
00:57:46Felt familiar.
00:57:47Really?
00:57:48Kinda had that.
00:57:49Rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:57:52Very on brand.
00:57:54I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:57:56Too late.
00:57:56Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:57:59Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:02Still the only god I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:58:08You've changed.
00:58:10But.
00:58:12Not really.
00:58:14You haven't changed.
00:58:17But.
00:58:17Maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:22Anyway.
00:58:23I wanted to say.
00:58:27And.
00:58:29Thanks for being here tonight.
00:58:31You didn't have to come.
00:58:33Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:58:35I do.
00:58:35I do.
00:58:37I do.
00:58:38I do.
00:58:38You didn't have to come.
00:58:40Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:02If you could go back.
00:59:04If you had the chance to do it all again.
00:59:06Would you do anything differently?
00:59:13No.
00:59:18No.
00:59:22I see.
00:59:27I know my answer now.
00:59:28I didn't have the power back then.
00:59:30Not enough to protect you.
00:59:32I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
00:59:36Because of my name.
00:59:37I'm.
00:59:37My family.
00:59:40I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
00:59:43So you just disappeared.
00:59:45Without a word.
00:59:49If you had the chance to see the world.
00:59:51Without me weighing you down.
00:59:53If you still chose me after that.
00:59:59You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:00:03But you made a choice for me.
01:00:07Did it ever cross your mind that maybe.
01:00:11I would have chosen you anyway.
01:00:18I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:00:21You weren't.
01:00:24But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:00:35This is me.
01:00:36Right.
01:00:44I'm still mad at you you know.
01:00:48I'm still in love with you.
01:00:49You know.
01:00:58Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:02You're asking your ex.
01:01:04Who you haven't seen in four years.
01:01:07To come into your hotel.
01:01:08At approximately 11pm.
01:01:11You were right.
01:01:13You never were that smart.
01:01:15You don't have to come.
01:01:17Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:01:20It's almost like you say.
01:01:23Last thing is going to go.
01:01:33Stop quoting yourself.
01:01:34I recycle.
01:01:35It saves energy.
01:01:37This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:01:40You sound like a disclaimer.
01:01:41You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:01:44I said that?
01:01:45Yeah.
01:01:45Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:01:48Still is.
01:01:49You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:01:55Excuse me.
01:01:56Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:01:59I wasn't going to.
01:02:00I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:02:03Then shut up.
01:02:04And prove it.
01:02:11I still can't believe this is happening.
01:02:13I told you.
01:02:14They're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:16And I told you.
01:02:17They're both.
01:02:44I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:02:48Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:02:50Then I lie.
01:02:52Respectfully.
01:02:55I vow to keep choosing you.
01:02:57Loudly.
01:02:59Quietly.
01:03:01Always.
01:03:02Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:06Is he actually good at this?
01:03:08For me.
01:03:09He did beat her at circus.
01:03:14I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:03:17Especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:19I vow to write you into every story.
01:03:22Even when I say I didn't.
01:03:24It will always be part of my life.
01:03:27If she quotes Austin in this toast.
01:03:29I'm out.
01:03:30No you're not.
01:03:30You're gonna cry harder.
01:03:31No I want that.
01:03:50I can't believe you picked Paris.
