00:10:05yes
00:10:19asher institute please thank you
00:10:25Who needs that entitled brat, anyway?
00:10:28Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:37Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:39And have the whole school go crazy.
00:10:41She's new. Everybody's already talking.
00:10:44So you're worried about her?
00:10:46You're overthinking. I just don't like drama.
00:10:55Asshole.
00:10:57Hey.
00:10:59Morning, Klaus.
00:11:01Back to Golding. Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:11:10Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:14Not particularly.
00:11:16Oh, I insist. You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:20I'm not entertained by Golding, sir. On the contrary. I think his ending is... weak.
00:11:29Wait, wait. You actually read it?
00:11:31Quiet.
00:11:33That's an interesting take. Explain.
00:11:38He had the set up for something brutal. Something honest.
00:11:42But in the end, he backed out.
00:11:44He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:46Forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability.
00:11:49Let them choose survival.
00:11:50Or death.
00:11:52But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:54Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:12:01It's a waste.
00:12:02Don't you think?
00:12:03I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:12:05Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:12:09I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:11Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:15So, a critique of Golding's mercy. Anyone disagree?
00:12:34I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:12:37It's not mercy. It's irony.
00:12:40How so?
00:12:44The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:46You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:12:50Golding didn't save them.
00:12:51He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:54That's an interesting take, Miss Keeter.
00:12:56You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:58In some ways. But not harsh enough.
00:13:02Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity.
00:13:05But still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:08And the civilized world?
00:13:10Toxic, violent.
00:13:11He didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:13So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough.
00:13:15But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:21Thank you, Miss Keeter.
00:13:23Well said.
00:13:25Anyone else?
00:13:28Both opinions are valid.
00:13:30Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:13:31Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:13:36Good literature will always divide opinion.
00:13:41What's happening to me?
00:13:48Okay, what is going on?
00:13:49Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:51Well, you're new.
00:13:53And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:55A what now?
00:13:56You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years.
00:14:01We're not even fighting.
00:14:02Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got
00:14:08rejected again.
00:14:10And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:14:17You were there, Sherry, that is not what happened.
00:14:21Doesn't matter.
00:14:23People believe what they want to believe.
00:14:25And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:14:28Wow.
00:14:29Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:14:33Honestly, both.
00:14:35But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:47Okay, loaded.
00:14:49Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:06Hello?
00:15:08Hello?
00:15:09Hello?
00:15:11Is somebody out there?
00:15:14Oh, come on!
00:15:28Fine.
00:15:43Seriously?
00:15:46Shit.
00:15:52What the hell?
00:15:54Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:57She hasn't come home.
00:15:58Her phone is off.
00:15:59Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:16:04Yikes.
00:16:05Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:13Shit.
00:16:23Fine.
00:16:38Seriously?
00:16:42Shit.
00:16:47What the hell?
00:16:50Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:16:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:16:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:17:09Shit.
00:17:14Hi! Alice!
00:17:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:17:21She hasn't come home. I'll have it sent over.
00:17:25Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:17:30Alice!
00:17:44Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine.
00:17:51We're fine.
00:17:51I'm fine.
00:17:52I'm fine.
00:17:59I'm fine.
00:18:02I'm fine.
00:18:14I'm fine.
00:18:24I'm fine.
00:18:24What are you doing here?
00:18:29Can you get off me first?
00:18:40You're welcome.
00:18:42I didn't say thank you.
00:18:44I figured saving your life might only be basic manners.
00:18:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me. Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:18:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:18:53Wow.
00:18:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:18:59I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:19:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:19:10Are you okay?
00:19:12No.
00:19:13But I will be.
00:19:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:19:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:19:20Don't worry. I can handle it.
00:19:21You shouldn't have to.
00:19:26I'm sorry.
00:19:38Did you just apologize to me?
00:19:42Don't get used to it.
00:19:42I wouldn't dream of it.
00:19:46Alice?
00:19:48Over here.
00:19:48Oh my god.
00:19:51You okay?
00:19:54Why are you drenched?
00:19:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower. Tap exploded.
00:20:02Come on, let's get you home.
00:20:13Alice Keaton, right?
00:20:16I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:20:42I know how this place works.
00:20:44If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:20:48I look into it.
00:20:51Charles?
00:20:54Good on you.
00:20:55How many here would speak up?
00:21:01I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane.
00:21:04Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:21:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funders.
00:21:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:21:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:21:34Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools
00:21:41that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:21:45Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:21:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:21:51Oh, no, we got it.
00:21:52But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:21:54And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:22:00Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:22:09The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:22:15So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:22:38Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition
00:22:44and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:22:49Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:22:52Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:22:55But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:22:58And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:23:05Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:23:13The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:23:19So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:23:42Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:23:45Do you not believe in dignity?
00:23:47It's comfortable.
00:23:49You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:23:50This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:23:53And this is not even your house. And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:23:58Just don't look. Go away.
00:24:00Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:24:03What do you guys call it? Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:24:09You're insufferable.
00:24:10You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:24:12You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:24:15I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:24:17Why do you think?
00:24:23How would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:24:29Florence. Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:24:35Or, Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:24:39Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:24:45Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:24:51The final stop, Paris. The ultimate city of romance. And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:25:04That's word for word.
00:25:06I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:25:10Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:25:13Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice. Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:25:20Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:25:22Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:25:27Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:25:30Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:25:33One word of advice? Shut up.
00:25:34That's two words.
00:25:37You're weird.
00:25:38You're loud.
00:25:39You're annoying.
00:25:40You're in my kitchen.
00:25:41You have three other kitchens.
00:25:42And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:25:45Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:25:47Come back with normal clothes on.
00:25:48You didn't have to come.
00:25:49Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:25:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:25:59Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:26:01Staff won't make it tonight.
00:26:02Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:26:07I've got it sorted.
00:26:20Jesus, what are you doing?
00:26:22Relax.
00:26:25I'm here to make a deal.
00:26:26What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:26:32You'll survive.
00:26:34I'm not selling my body.
00:26:40I'm not selling my body.
00:26:46Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:26:50That thought disgusts me.
00:26:52Then what are you doing?
00:26:53The staff's off tonight.
00:26:55I'm buying dinner.
00:26:59Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:27:01No, I'm...
00:27:03Jesus.
00:27:04Wait, you think I'm not worth 100 pounds?
00:27:09I'm not spending 100 pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:27:12You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:27:17Are you sure about that?
00:27:20I present to you.
00:27:22Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:27:25You're welcome.
00:27:27Interesting combo.
00:27:28Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:27:33It's good.
00:27:39Was that a compliment?
00:27:41Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:27:45Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:27:47It's American.
00:27:48And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:27:51You should read more.
00:27:53Put it down.
00:27:55I paid for it.
00:27:57You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:27:59To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:28:03It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds.
00:28:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:28:09I'll make sure that it's fine.
00:28:24Okay, Alice, it's fine.
00:28:27You're fine.
00:28:34You're fine.
00:28:35911, what's for your emergency?
00:28:41Was that a compliment?
00:28:43Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:28:46Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:28:48It's American.
00:28:49And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:28:52You should read more.
00:28:55Put it down.
00:28:57I paid for it.
00:28:58You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:29:00To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:29:05It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds.
00:29:08You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:29:10I'll make sure that it's fine.
00:29:25Okay, Alice, it's fine.
00:29:28You're fine.
00:29:36911, what's for your emergency?
00:29:42911, what's for your emergency?
00:29:44It's my dad.
00:29:45He needs help.
00:29:46He just had a stroke.
00:29:47Okay, miss.
00:29:48Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:29:49We'll get to you as soon as we can, right?
00:29:51Please, he's not well.
00:29:52I understand.
00:29:53Can you confirm your address?
00:29:55No, please.
00:29:57Yes, I'm right here.
00:29:59Hi, my daughter.
00:30:02Please stay with me, Dad, please.
00:30:08No.
00:30:10Please wake up.
00:30:16Dad, please.
00:30:17Please don't leave me.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:50You... what are you doing here?
00:30:56You were crying.
00:30:59Loudly.
00:31:01Kind of hard to ignore.
00:31:03Right.
00:31:04Sorry for the noise.
00:31:07Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:31:09Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:31:11If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:31:15You were calling for your dad, right?
00:31:19A hurricane hit New York.
00:31:21Power went down, traffic froze.
00:31:25Dad had a stroke.
00:31:26But he couldn't get help in time.
00:31:30I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:31:37Peaceful.
00:31:39But he was asleep.
00:31:42But he wasn't.
00:31:46So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:31:49This used to be our hometown.
00:31:52After dad left,
00:31:55we had nowhere else to go.
00:32:01What are you doing?
00:32:06Come on.
00:32:23Wait, I thought the power was out.
00:32:26It is.
00:32:27We have our own generator.
00:32:28Wow.
00:32:29Rich people houses her.
00:32:31Just for tonight,
00:32:33I'll allow it.
00:32:35Allow what?
00:32:37You can call this place your house.
00:32:39So enjoy it.
00:32:40Stephen King's first edition,
00:32:42Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters,
00:32:43Jane Austen's notes,
00:32:46Jane Austen's notes,
00:32:46all yours.
00:32:51This is your home,
00:32:54Alice Keaton.
00:32:59Careful.
00:33:01Almost sounded sweet.
00:33:03Don't push it.
00:33:04Okay, then.
00:33:09I have...
00:33:10one request.
00:33:13What is it?
00:33:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:33:23Wait.
00:33:24Give me a second.
00:33:25I'm thinking.
00:33:26You had one wish.
00:33:28Anything in the world.
00:33:30And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:33:32inside a literal mansion,
00:33:33you chose chess.
00:33:36Yeah.
00:33:37Got a problem?
00:33:38It's just so cool,
00:33:39like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:33:42It's literally a board game.
00:33:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:33:47Wait.
00:33:48Does the knight go diagonally?
00:33:50For the tenth time,
00:33:51it moves in an L shape.
00:33:54One.
00:33:55Two.
00:33:56Then turn.
00:33:58There.
00:33:59Happy?
00:34:00Exciting.
00:34:03God, you know.
00:34:04That's suicide.
00:34:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:34:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:34:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:34:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:34:13Golding disagrees.
00:34:15It's going to be a long night.
00:34:16Oh my...
00:34:17No.
00:34:18Why?
00:34:18What's going on with that?
00:34:18You can't do that.
00:34:20No, no, no.
00:34:21Oh my God.
00:34:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:34:52Um, who are you?
00:34:59What are you doing here?
00:35:00Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:35:02Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:35:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:35:07When did you get back?
00:35:09Last night.
00:35:09From Zurich.
00:35:10You didn't answer my messages.
00:35:14I missed you.
00:35:15Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:35:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:35:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:35:22They didn't tell me about this.
00:35:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:35:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:35:29You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:35:33Engagement.
00:35:35Oh, did no one tell you?
00:35:38He's promised.
00:35:39Old money stuff.
00:35:41Very retro.
00:35:42I didn't agree to that.
00:35:43You didn't have to.
00:35:44It's never up to us.
00:35:46Where did you find this little toy?
00:35:49Serena.
00:35:50I can hear you, you know.
00:35:51Oh, an American.
00:35:54How refreshing.
00:35:59Goodbye.
00:36:01Wait.
00:36:16What are you doing here?
00:36:17Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:36:19Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:36:22Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:36:24When did you get back?
00:36:26Last night.
00:36:27From Zurich.
00:36:27You didn't answer my messages.
00:36:31I missed you.
00:36:32Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:36:35Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:36:38Your parents were so thrilled.
00:36:39They didn't tell me about this.
00:36:41I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:36:43They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:36:46You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:36:50Engagement.
00:36:52Oh, did no one tell you?
00:36:55He's promised.
00:36:56Old money stuff.
00:36:58Very retro.
00:36:58I didn't agree to that.
00:37:00You didn't have to.
00:37:01It's never up to us.
00:37:04Where did you find this little toy?
00:37:06Serena.
00:37:07I can hear you, you know.
00:37:08Oh, an American.
00:37:12How refreshing.
00:37:16Goodbye.
00:37:18Wait.
00:37:34Where are you going?
00:37:35You still owe me breakfast.
00:37:37You only paid for dinner.
00:37:39I had homework.
00:37:41Goodbye.
00:37:44Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:37:46Serena, can you please just stop?
00:37:48What?
00:37:49Teasing the help?
00:37:56That's her.
00:37:57That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:38:00Was she like the maid or something?
00:38:17Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:38:20They're saying you live with Charles.
00:38:22Oh, and Serena.
00:38:23What about her?
00:38:25Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:38:28Of course she did.
00:38:42Careful, Alice.
00:38:43You're starting to look desperate.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:56Can you help me with my lesson?
00:38:58I know.
00:38:58It's 1066.
00:38:59Come to the music room.
00:39:01Urgent.
00:39:02I just remembered I need to check something.
00:39:05You guys go ahead.
00:39:06Yeah, okay.
00:39:13Hello?
00:39:14Is someone there?
00:39:15Seriously?
00:39:16This is getting old.
00:39:28Wait.
00:39:30Music room, what?
00:39:34James.
00:39:35James?
00:39:35Is anybody in here earlier?
00:39:37Just Miss Serena.
00:39:38Said she was waiting for you.
00:39:41Sir?
00:39:43Sir, it's raining.
00:39:54Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:39:58You're not that girl again.
00:40:06Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:40:09Okay.
00:40:10Rooks move in straight lines.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:13Bishops move diagonally.
00:40:15And knights...
00:40:16The knight's a weird one.
00:40:21Rooks.
00:40:24Straight lines.
00:40:26Dishes.
00:40:27Diagonally.
00:40:29Hello?
00:40:31Hello?
00:40:49The text.
00:40:51Are you okay?
00:40:52Are you hurt?
00:40:54I'm okay.
00:40:55I...
00:40:55I saw the text and I thought...
00:40:58I didn't see the message.
00:41:00Serena took my phone.
00:41:01I didn't know.
00:41:02I'm sorry.
00:41:03I'm okay.
00:41:05You're gonna catch a cold.
00:41:07You're freezing.
00:41:08You didn't have to come.
00:41:11Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:41:36That wasn't a mistake.
00:41:38If that's what you're about to say.
00:41:41I...
00:41:41wasn't going to.
00:41:50I...
00:41:50I...
00:41:51I...
00:41:51I...
00:41:52I...
00:41:53I...
00:41:55I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:41:57What?
00:41:58Kissing?
00:41:59Hiding feelings.
00:42:00I...
00:42:01I...
00:42:02I...
00:42:02I...
00:42:03I...
00:42:03I...
00:42:08I...
00:42:21I...
00:42:22Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:42:24Oh, you wish.
00:42:27Seriously.
00:42:28It's a cock block.
00:42:30You kissed me.
00:42:33That's basically consent to everything.
00:42:41Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:42:43I might hold you to that.
00:43:08That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:43:11I...
00:43:12I...
00:43:13I...
00:43:13wasn't going to.
00:43:25I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:43:29What?
00:43:29Kissing?
00:43:30Hiding feelings.
00:43:31All right, but I...
00:43:53Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:43:55Oh, you wish.
00:43:59Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:44:02You kissed me.
00:44:04That's basically consent to everything.
00:44:12Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:44:25You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:44:28The list is on the board.
00:44:31One, two, three, four.
00:44:36Are you okay?
00:44:37Fly me to outer space.
00:44:42That's where I'll see your face.
00:44:46And have you with me.
00:44:57You're distracting.
00:45:06You're welcome.
00:45:10They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:45:14Honestly?
00:45:16Both.
00:45:36I'm sorry.
00:45:40I'm sorry.
00:45:46I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:45:47That's weird.
00:45:54Check.
00:46:00You're cheating.
00:46:01You're distracting.
00:46:01I'm winning.
00:46:03There's a difference.
00:46:04You are very distracting.
00:46:06And you like it.
00:46:08I will be there for you all day.
00:46:11I'll be there in the darkest days.
00:46:16I'll hold you in my arms.
00:46:18Charles.
00:46:20We need to talk.
00:46:28I expected poor judgement.
00:46:30But this in my house?
00:46:33It isn't what it looks like.
00:46:34No.
00:46:35Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:46:39Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:46:40We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:46:43Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:46:47She isn't just...
00:46:48You have no right to barge in.
00:46:51On my property.
00:46:55I care about her.
00:46:57I'm not ashamed of that.
00:46:58That's enough.
00:47:01Why do you care?
00:47:03We're protecting our son's future.
00:47:05And our name.
00:47:07You think this protects me?
00:47:09We think she does not belong in your world.
00:47:15Then maybe I don't either.
00:47:19You're ready to give up everything?
00:47:21For a girl you barely know?
00:47:25Yes.
00:47:27Then are you sure she's ready?
00:47:36I'm asking you.
00:47:38Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:47:44What are you talking about?
00:47:45You left us no choice, son.
00:47:47You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:47:52Pelton.
00:47:53It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:47:55Ah.
00:47:56Mr. Kenwood.
00:47:56How can I help?
00:47:57If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:48:06a review?
00:48:07Yes, sir.
00:48:11So.
00:48:12Answer me again.
00:48:14Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:48:28Charles.
00:48:29What happened?
00:48:30Did your parents say something?
00:48:31Are they mad?
00:48:32Is everything okay?
00:48:34Pack your things.
00:48:36You can't stay here anymore.
00:48:38What?
00:48:41My parents fired your mother.
00:48:42She's leaving.
00:48:44So are you.
00:48:45Wait, what?
00:48:45Why?
00:48:46Is it because of us?
00:48:47We can fix this.
00:48:49I'll get a job, anything.
00:48:50Stop, stop it.
00:48:50You don't get it.
00:48:52If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:48:55Okay?
00:48:56No card.
00:48:57No trust.
00:48:58No support.
00:49:00Nothing.
00:49:01Then...
00:49:02Then we'll figure it out.
00:49:04We don't need all that.
00:49:05We can...
00:49:06Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:49:11So that's what this was.
00:49:14Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:49:17What did they promise you?
00:49:22Nothing.
00:49:25They just reminded me of what's real.
00:49:31Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:49:33You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:49:37What did they threaten you with?
00:49:43What did they threaten you with?
00:49:45This is the difference between me and you.
00:49:47What?
00:49:48You think you know me.
00:49:50Or what I have.
00:49:52You don't, Alice.
00:49:54You're still lying.
00:49:55I'm not, Alice.
00:49:57Look around you.
00:49:58This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:50:01It's my house.
00:50:03My world.
00:50:05I was bored.
00:50:06I was bored into this.
00:50:07I am not choosing between this...
00:50:11And something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:50:17Don't do this, Charles.
00:50:19You don't mean it.
00:50:20It was fun.
00:50:21But you?
00:50:24You don't compare to what I own.
00:50:27I'll survive the loss.
00:50:31Right.
00:50:34I should have known.
00:50:37Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:50:42You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:50:46Go to sleep, Alice.
00:50:50And to sleep.
00:50:55No!
00:50:58This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:51:04In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:51:10Yeah, around me feels so heavy, but depleted.
00:51:17But I find that's the place to test myself
00:51:29Oops
00:51:46Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:51:49Then again, nobody does
00:51:51Move please
00:51:54Try begging
00:52:00You know what, keep it
00:52:07Poor thing, so dramatic
00:52:11Don't
00:52:12Excuse me
00:52:13I warned you
00:52:15Walk away, Serena
00:52:36Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:52:40But one pair surprised me, in a good way
00:52:44Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:52:47Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:52:50She loves the sound of her own voice, better have it
00:52:53I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait
00:52:56I thought that you should know that I would have
00:53:02Can hang out of her own voice, can hang out of her own voice, can hang out of her own
00:53:09voice
00:53:38And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:53:42Is she still talking about the essay?
00:53:47Miss Keaton
00:54:13Miss Keaton
00:54:14Dramatic as always
00:54:14Sorry what?
00:54:19That's kind of insane, who's behind this?
00:54:23Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:54:27Can, can I meet them?
00:54:28Can I meet them?
00:54:30I want to
00:54:31Please
00:54:33Or at least tell me a name
00:54:38Sorry, they wished to stay in office, so they're only interested in words, not the person
00:54:41I'd really like to meet them
00:54:43I'm sorry Miss Keaton, they were very good
00:54:45I think the most jealous of her we've ever given is a new answer
00:54:49I see
00:54:49Congratulations again
00:54:55You got the interview!
00:54:57It's just an interview, I haven't gotten in yet
00:54:58Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:55:02That's iconic!
00:55:02For your love, I'll be gone by the way
00:55:10You okay?
00:55:13Yeah
00:55:13I'm so excited!
00:55:14I'm so excited!
00:55:28It's done Mr. Kenwood, Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:55:33Good
00:55:34It's a generous deal
00:55:35You sure you don't want it to know?
00:55:38No
00:55:39No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:55:42I will be before you, babe
00:55:47I'll be there in your darkest days
00:55:51Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:55:54Go live the life you were always meant to
00:56:01Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:56:06And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:56:11It's all coming together beautifully
00:56:16I've lost my appetite
00:56:22I'll go check on him
00:56:28What's your problem, Charles?
00:56:33This engagement
00:56:35is not happening
00:56:36It's not up to you, you know that
00:56:37Serena, we're not doing this
00:56:41You've changed
00:56:45Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:56:47...
00:57:11...
00:57:12...
00:57:13...
00:57:13...
00:57:15Charles, you're the sponsor. You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:57:23So?
00:57:23You lied to everyone, including her.
00:57:27I protected her.
00:57:30You loved her.
00:57:32Still do.
00:57:35Let it go, Serena.
00:57:38There's no point.
00:57:48I need a favour. Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:57:52And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:57:59Anything? No?
00:58:02She's not answering. The interview's almost over.
00:58:05Well, she won't just not show up. Something's wrong.
00:58:09Where's Alice?
00:58:11When was the last time you heard from her?
00:58:13Last night. She said she was prepping all evening.
00:58:20James, track someone for me.
00:58:23Wait, where are you going?
00:58:32Chill, okay. It won't hurt you.
00:58:35Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview, that's it.
00:58:46Shit! Come back!
00:58:49Shit! Come back!
00:58:53Where are you going?
00:58:56By your way?
00:58:57Good work!
00:59:08Imagine you!
00:59:08Give me...
00:59:13...I…
00:59:16I remember how we met
00:59:20Didn't need a second guess
00:59:25Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:59:28Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:59:31Alice
00:59:38You're awake
00:59:40Where, where am I?
00:59:42Local clinic
00:59:43Passer-by brought you in
00:59:45Passer-by
00:59:47He found you on the side of the road
00:59:49He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:59:52Oh
00:59:55The interview, what time is it?
00:59:57Easy, it's okay
00:59:58Someone already contacted the university
01:00:01And sent in your writing samples
01:00:03They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
01:00:05Wait, what, who?
01:00:06No idea, but it's all taken care of
01:00:12What did you say?
01:00:13Nothing
01:00:14I just
01:00:15Had a dream
01:00:27I got him!
01:00:29I knew it!
01:00:35Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
01:00:38He's not here
01:00:40Oh, you didn't know
01:00:42Know what?
01:00:44He left
01:00:45A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
01:00:48Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
01:00:51It's probably for the best
01:00:52Come on
01:00:53Come on
01:00:53I couldn't stay
01:00:55I couldn't wait
01:00:57I thought that you should know
01:00:59I thought that you should know
01:01:01I'm hanging around
01:01:02The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
01:01:07Chaotic
01:01:08Unexpected
01:01:11And with his absence
01:01:13Come on
01:01:15It ended quietly
01:01:19Like summers always do
01:01:33And joining us today
01:01:35The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
01:01:39Alice Keaton
01:01:39Thank you for having me
01:01:41Now, your words moved millions
01:01:43They say your stories feel real
01:01:46Especially the ones about love
01:01:48Thank you
01:01:49Which brings us to the most obvious question
01:01:52How's your dating life like these days?
01:01:54No comment
01:01:55A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working
01:02:00Not even a single date
01:02:02Let me guess a bird named Sherry
01:02:03She caught me
01:02:04Still no comment
01:02:06All right, all right
01:02:07No matter what you say
01:02:08You write love like someone who's lived it
01:02:12If you're so real
01:02:14Because once I did
01:02:15With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
01:02:18And no one ever quite matched the light after that
01:02:22And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
01:02:36Congratulations Alice
01:02:37The numbers just came in
01:02:39You broke your own record
01:02:42That's incredible
01:02:44We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight
01:02:47Actually there's something I'd rather do
01:02:52I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
01:02:56My sponsor
01:02:57You're sure?
01:02:59Yeah
01:02:59Just once
01:03:01Tonight, 7pm
01:03:14Good evening
01:03:18And joining us today

01:03:58If you're so real
01:03:59Because once I did
01:04:01That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love
01:04:06No one ever quite matched the light after that

01:04:22Congratulations Alice

01:04:487pm
01:04:58Good evening
01:05:03Good evening
01:05:07May I sit?
01:05:08Good evening
01:05:12Hello
01:05:12Hey Mr. Nonchalant
01:05:17Hi
01:05:19Hi
01:05:20Hi
01:05:22You look well
01:05:25And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
01:05:29You always did
01:05:31You were expecting someone else
01:05:33I was
01:05:36Hoping
01:05:38But I guess I always knew
01:05:40I didn't come here to confuse you
01:05:42Or to reopen anything
01:05:46I just wanted to say congratulations
01:05:49Oh
01:05:50Thank you
01:05:53I didn't know you're still reading
01:05:55You're rich enough not to do so
01:05:59Always
01:06:00Either way
01:06:02Your sponsorship started my career
01:06:04So
01:06:04No
01:06:05No
01:06:06You earned everything
01:06:10Every word
01:06:12Every page
01:06:15Every reader
01:06:16That's what I came to say
01:06:22It was good to see you again
01:06:23I hope
01:06:24Charles
01:06:26Can you just
01:06:29Wait a little longer
01:06:30Wait a little longer
01:06:34I think I knew it was you
01:06:39There was one email
01:06:42You said something
01:06:44It felt familiar
01:06:45Really?
01:06:46Kinda had that
01:06:47Rich asshole with a conscience energy
01:06:49Very on brand
01:06:52I should have anonymized my grammar
01:06:54Too late
01:06:54Your semi-colon usage gave you away
01:06:57Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation
01:07:00Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically
01:07:06You've changed
01:07:08But
01:07:10Not really
01:07:13You haven't changed
01:07:14You haven't changed
01:07:15But
01:07:15Maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:07:20Anyway
01:07:21I wanted to say
01:07:23Thank you
01:07:25And
01:07:27Thanks for being here tonight
01:07:29You didn't have to come
01:07:31Don't tell me what I have to do
01:07:36You didn't have to come
01:07:37You didn't have to come
01:07:38Don't
01:07:39Tell me
01:07:39What I have to do
01:08:00No
01:08:01If you could go back
01:08:02If you had the chance to do it all again
01:08:04Would you do anything differently?
01:08:11No
01:08:16No
01:08:21I see
01:08:25I know my answer now
01:08:26I didn't have the power back then
01:08:29Not enough to protect you
01:08:31I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:08:34Because of my name
01:08:36My family
01:08:38I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:08:41So you just disappeared
01:08:43Without a word
01:08:47If you had the chance to see the world
01:08:49Without me weighing you down
01:08:52If you still chose me after that
01:08:57You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:09:01But you made a choice for me
01:09:05Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:09:09Maybe
01:09:10I would have chosen you anyway
01:09:16I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:09:19You weren't
01:09:22But I never claimed to be that smart
01:09:33This is me
01:09:35Right
01:09:42I'm still mad at you you know
01:09:47I'm still in love with you you know
01:09:56Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:10:00You're asking your ex who you haven't seen in four years
01:10:05To come into your hotel at approximately 11pm
01:10:10You were right
01:10:11You never were that smart
01:10:13You don't have to come
01:10:15Don't tell me what I have to do
01:10:18It's almost like you say
01:10:21Where's things going to go?
01:10:31Stop quoting yourself
01:10:32I recycle
01:10:33It saves energy
01:10:36This feels wildly irresponsible
01:10:38You sound like a disclaimer
01:10:39You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:10:42I said that?
01:10:43Yeah
01:10:44Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:10:46Still is
01:10:48You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:10:54That is cute to me
01:10:55Don't you dare quote poetry
01:10:57I wasn't going to
01:10:58I forgot all of it the day you left
01:11:01Then shut up
01:11:03And prove it
01:11:12You want to say
01:11:13Stop quoting yourself
01:11:13I recycle
01:11:14It saves energy
01:11:17This feels...
01:11:18wildly irresponsible
01:11:19You sound like a disclaimer
01:11:21You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:11:23I said that?
01:11:24Yeah
01:11:24Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:11:27Still is
01:11:29You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:11:34That is cute to me.
01:11:36Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:11:38I wasn't going to. I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:11:42Then shut up. Then prove it.
01:11:50I still can't believe this is happening.
01:11:52I told you they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:11:56And I told you they're both.
01:12:01It's more than enough to let ride in.
01:12:06Oh, I'm making the coolest thing.
01:12:11It's enough to let folk let it be.
01:12:19You're in my sight in my mind.
01:12:24I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:12:27Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:12:29Then I lie.
01:12:32Respectfully.
01:12:34I vow to keep choosing you.
01:12:37Loudly.
01:12:38Quietly.
01:12:40Always.
01:12:42Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:12:46Is he actually good at this?
01:12:48I mean, you did beat her at sarcasm.
01:12:53I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:12:56Especially over Shakespeare.
01:12:59I vow to write you into every story.
01:13:01Even when I say I didn't.
01:13:03You will always be a part of my life.
01:13:07If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:13:09No, you're not.
01:13:10You're going to cry harder.
01:13:12No, you're not.
01:13:36You're going to cry harder.
01:13:40Guard your phone.
01:13:41Relax.
01:13:42Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:13:48You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:13:51Please, Alice, go change.
01:13:54Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:13:59No.
01:14:00No.
01:14:01No, no, no.
01:14:02That is not an invitation.
01:14:03Do not take off these clothes.
01:14:05Overruled.
01:14:06You look much better without them.
01:14:13To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:14:18You will find your way home.
01:14:41Oopsie!
01:14:43My king!
01:14:54It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:15:00Help us develop, learn, and grow.
01:15:03Go, go, go, go, go!
01:15:10Wow! That's incredible!
