00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's hot.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:24American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:30I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:44it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:49You didn't have to come.
00:00:51Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:01:03I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:14Self-made, stubborn and never wrong.
00:01:18What was there?
00:01:19You excited for your first day?
00:01:20She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:22I call it terrifying.
00:01:30You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:33That's kind of the problem.
00:01:43I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:52Heaven in my dead.
00:01:54I'm the world to the world, but I'm the day anyway.
00:02:01I wanna say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:05Morning, class.
00:02:08And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22There's a spot next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles' case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, why is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:36I've always had words for everything,
00:02:38but in that moment,
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:53Charles, move your things.
00:02:56I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:02:59From what?
00:03:00Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything, Charles,
00:03:04Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:06She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir,
00:03:12her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:24Back to Goldie.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughn.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at New York City.
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:39Wait.
00:03:40You sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:42You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:44Don't take it personally.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:51He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:56I've seen Connor.
00:03:58He's not my type.
00:03:59You're joking.
00:04:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:03You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:07His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:12Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:14No one can get past his ego.
00:04:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay.
00:04:18First of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:21It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's faking out.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:40No.
00:04:42No, go on.
00:04:48You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:55Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:03We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:19We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:22Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Good.
00:05:25Anything exciting happen?
00:05:27Not really.
00:05:27Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Alright.
00:05:33Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:44This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah?
00:05:47Isn't that incredible?
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:51It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07Rich people.
00:06:09You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:13Stephen King.
00:06:16First edition.
00:06:26Breaking and entering now.
00:06:28How American of you.
00:06:31I...
00:06:40You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:44Trying to fight it off.
00:06:52You can get up now.
00:06:53I...
00:06:54I'm trying.
00:06:56Wait.
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying.
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny.
00:07:05I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:08What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You...
00:07:12You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:13Your house.
00:07:14My house.
00:07:16My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:23You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:07:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:28She what?
00:07:28There...
00:07:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:31You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:34Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36I'm not staying here.
00:07:37Like, at all.
00:07:38That's a shame.
00:07:39Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:43Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:48Come on, Alice.
00:07:50You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be fun.
00:07:56My dear classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:02Like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:16Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:19You've been through hell.
00:08:23Actually, no.
00:08:26This is hell.
00:08:30Good morning.
00:08:38Wow.
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:50That's often closed for months.
00:08:52She's going to be late.
00:08:58Okay.
00:08:59How long is this thing gonna take?
00:09:01Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:03Five miles to school.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:20What...
00:09:21What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:26Did you come back for...
00:09:29me?
00:09:30Relax.
00:09:32I forgot my textbook.
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:36Wait!
00:09:39Since you're already here,
00:09:41maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:46No.
00:09:48Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge!
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:53And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:56Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:10:03Unbelievable!
00:10:13Ashford Institute, please.
00:10:19Who needs an entitled brat anyway?
00:10:22Sir, you called the cab.
00:10:24Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy?
00:10:35She's new.
00:10:37Everybody's already talking.
00:10:38So you're worried about her?
00:10:40You're overthinking.
00:10:42I just don't like drama.
00:10:49Asshole.
00:10:51Who?
00:10:53Morning, Klaus.
00:10:55Back to Golding.
00:10:57Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:11:04Mr. Kenwood,
00:11:05care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly.
00:11:10Oh, I insist.
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:11:17On the contrary.
00:11:18I think his ending is...
00:11:21weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24You actually read it?
00:11:25Quiet.
00:11:27That's an interesting take.
00:11:29Explain.
00:11:32He had the set up for something brutal.
00:11:35Something honest.
00:11:36But in the end, he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:40Forced them to confront the collapsible morality.
00:11:43Let them choose survival.
00:11:44Or death.
00:11:46But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:49Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:11:55It's a waste.
00:11:56Don't you think?
00:11:57I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:12:00Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:12:03I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:09So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:28I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:12:32It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:12:35How so?
00:12:38The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:40You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:12:44Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:47That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:12:50You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:53In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:12:56Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:02And the civilized world? Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:07So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:15Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:13:17Well said.
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:13:26And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:13:30Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new, and apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of this epic feud as you've seen in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:56Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got
00:14:03rejected again.
00:14:04And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings, and stormed out in tears.
00:14:12You were there, Sherry. That is not what happened.
00:14:16Doesn't matter.
00:14:17People believe what they want to believe.
00:14:19And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:14:23Wow.
00:14:24Is misogyny like a rich kid thing, or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both.
00:14:29But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:41Okay, noted.
00:14:44Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:00Hello?
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:05Is somebody out there?
00:15:07Oh, come on!
00:15:10Oh, come on!
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:37Seriously?
00:15:40Oh, shit.
00:15:46What the hell?
00:15:49Anne!
00:15:50I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:15:51She hasn't come home.
00:15:53Her phone is off.
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:58Yikes.
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:08Shit.
00:16:14Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr. Pelton.
00:16:17Charles Kenwood here.
00:16:18I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:16:20She hasn't come home.
00:16:22I'll have it sent over.
00:16:24Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:43Come on, Alice.
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:48It's fine.
00:16:50You're fine.
00:17:06You're fine.
00:17:13Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:17:19Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24W-What are you doing here?
00:17:28can you get off me first

00:27:49You, what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:57Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, no snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:25But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:37Like he was asleep.
00:28:40But he wasn't.
00:28:45So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:48This used to be our hometown.
00:28:51After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:22Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:29:34Allow what?
00:29:35You can call this place your house.
00:29:38So enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition.
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:44All yours.
00:29:50This is your home.
00:29:53Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:02Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay then.
00:30:07I have one request.
00:30:12What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:22Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:31inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:36Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool.
00:30:39Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:47Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One.
00:30:55Two.
00:30:56Then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy.
00:31:00Excited.
00:31:03No.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:10You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to take a long night.
00:31:16Oh, my God.
00:31:17Oh, my God.
00:31:17Why?
00:31:18What's going on?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20I want to act like that as well.
00:31:21Oh, my God.
00:31:22You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Tied to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:30Know yourself well, because I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh, you're showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um, who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:00Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:07When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich.
00:32:11You didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:23They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:33Engagement?
00:32:35Oh, did no one tell you?
00:32:38He's promised.
00:32:40Old money stuff.
00:32:41Very retro.
00:32:42I didn't agree to that.
00:32:43You didn't have to.
00:32:44It's never up to us.
00:32:47Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:50Serena.
00:32:50I can hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh, an American.
00:32:55How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:17Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I had homework.
00:33:24Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena, can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:43Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:13Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:43Come to the music room.
00:34:45Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered, I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:57Hello?
00:34:58Is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously?
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:18James?
00:35:19Was anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:29Oh, my God.
00:35:39Come on, Alice.
00:35:40You're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:51Wait.
00:35:51Can you remind me one more time?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's a weird one.
00:36:07Rooks move in straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:12Diagonally.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:16Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:42I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm okay.
00:36:51You're going to catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:56Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:26I see the smiles.
00:37:31I see the smiles.
00:37:40I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46Oh, I...
00:38:07Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:09Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:18That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:26Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space.
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face.
00:39:01And have you with me.
00:39:07It may seem dark.
00:39:11But you always like my spark.
00:39:16In my heart.
00:39:21Since the sun.
00:39:22You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly.
00:39:31Right?
00:39:34I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:45Till I'm brand new.
00:39:48Everything's so different now.
00:39:51So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:55Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:39:59And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:15You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:21And you like it.
00:40:23I'll be there for you, babe.
00:40:27I'll be there for the darkest days.
00:40:31Hold you in my arms.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:34We need to talk.
00:40:43I expected poor judgment.
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:49No.
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:06On my property.
00:41:10I care about her.
00:41:12I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:14That's enough.
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:34You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:37For a girl you barely know.
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42Then are you sure she's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you.
00:41:53Do you think she's ready?
00:41:55To lose everything, regardless of how little that is.
00:41:58Just to be with you.
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:01You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton.
00:42:09It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code,
00:42:17in a public setting, with photographic evidence,
00:42:21would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:28So, answer me again.
00:42:30Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:45Charles, what happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things.
00:42:52You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother.
00:42:59She's leaving.
00:43:00So are you.
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:01Why?
00:43:02Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job.
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:06You don't get it.
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:16Nothing.
00:43:17Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20Well, we don't need all that.
00:43:22We can...
00:43:22Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:49You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me.
00:44:07Or what I have.
00:44:08You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:17It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this
00:44:25and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:35You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fine.
00:44:39But you...
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:44I'll survive the loss.
00:44:48Right.
00:44:51I should have known.
00:44:54Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:59You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:15This fall is a little more than I expected
00:45:21In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:27Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:45:34But I find this the place to test myself
00:45:55And I'll be fine with you
00:46:04I'm sorry.
00:46:05Didn't see you there.
00:46:06Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:11Try begging.
00:46:18You know what? Keep it.
00:46:24Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:46:28Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me?
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:54Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable, but one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:47:04Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice. Better have it.
00:47:11I couldn't stay. I couldn't wait.
00:47:14I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:18Can hang around.
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:47:23Like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:32At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:38Confusion.
00:47:39Curiosity.
00:47:41But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:56And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:05Miss Keaton.
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:09All right.
00:48:11Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was later.
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:48:23Hello?
00:48:24Hi, this is Alice Keaton.
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:27We've been following your work.
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:31Name your price.
00:48:32We'll make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:34What?
00:48:36What?
00:48:37What?
00:48:38What?
00:48:38What?
00:48:38What?
00:48:38What?
00:48:39What?
00:48:44That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:50Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to.
00:48:56Please.
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay anonymous.
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:10I think the most jealous of we've ever given is a new answer.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:20You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview.
00:49:23I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:28For your love.
00:49:30I've been called.
00:49:35You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:39I'm just done.
00:49:40I'm so excited.
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:08I will be fine, won't I?
00:50:12I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:27Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:43I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:01Disengagement is not happening.
00:51:02It's not up to you.
00:51:03You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.
00:51:11Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:31What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:43Oh, no.
00:51:44Go on, sir. You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:49So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:57You loved her.
00:51:59Still do.
00:52:02Let it go, Serena.
00:52:05There's no point.
00:52:15I need a favour.
00:52:16Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:52:20And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:27Anything? No?
00:52:29She's not answering.
00:52:31The interview's almost over.
00:52:33Well, she won't just not show up.
00:52:35Something's wrong.
00:52:37Where's Alice?
00:52:39When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night. She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:47James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01It won't hurt you.
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:53:06That's it.
00:53:14Shit, come back!
00:53:43I
00:53:44Remember how I
00:53:47Didn't need a second guess
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:57Alice, hey, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:07You're awake?
00:54:09Where, where am I?
00:54:11A local clinic. Passer by brought you in.
00:54:14Passer by.
00:54:16He found you on the side of the road.
00:54:18He had to leave. He didn't leave a name.
00:54:21Oh.
00:54:24The interview. What time is it?
00:54:26Easy. It's okay.
00:54:28Someone already contacted the university.
00:54:30And sent in your writing samples.
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:54:34Wait, what? Who?
00:54:35No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:54:41What did you say?
00:54:42Nothing.
00:54:43Nothing.
00:54:43I just...
00:54:46had a dream.
00:54:54Did you?
00:54:58I got him!
00:55:02Oh, I knew it.
00:55:05Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:55:08He's not here.
00:55:09Oh, you didn't know.
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:13He left.
00:55:15A few days ago, yeah.
00:55:16Everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:55:18Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:55:21It's probably for the best.
00:55:22Come on.
00:55:23I couldn't stay.
00:55:25I couldn't wait.
00:55:27I thought that you should know.
00:55:29Alice?
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:55:37Chaotic.
00:55:38Unexpected.
00:55:41And with his absence...
00:55:43Come on!
00:55:43With me.
00:55:45With me.
00:55:45It ended quietly.
00:55:47With the feeling of your eyes on me.
00:55:49Like summers always do.
00:55:51With something from a fantasy.
00:55:52Did you feel it from across the room?
00:55:56Did you feel a little enchanted?
00:56:03And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:56:10Thank you for having me.
00:56:11Now, your words moved millions.
00:56:14They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:56:20Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:24No comment.
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working.
00:56:31Not even a single date.
00:56:32Let me guess.
00:56:33A bird named Sherry.
00:56:34She caught me.
00:56:35Still no comment.
00:56:36All right.
00:56:37All right.
00:56:37No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:56:43It feels so real.
00:56:44Because once, I did.
00:56:46With someone who felt like chaos and clarity.
00:56:49And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:52And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:57:07Congratulations, Alice.
00:57:08The numbers just came in.
00:57:09You broke your own record.
00:57:13That's incredible.
00:57:14We're thinking celebration.
00:57:15Press.
00:57:16Photos.
00:57:17Maybe tonight.
00:57:18Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:57:22I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:57:26My sponsor.
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah.
00:57:30Just once.
00:57:32Tonight.
00:57:337pm.
00:57:43Good evening.
00:57:49Good evening.
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:58Hey, Mr. No特別.
00:58:05Hi.
00:58:07You look well.
00:58:10And you like you just stepped out of a Gq cover.
00:58:14You always did.
00:58:16You were expecting someone else.
00:58:19I was hoping, but I guess I always knew.
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you or to reopen anything.
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:58:35Oh, thank you.
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading.
00:58:41You're rich enough not to do so.
00:58:44Always.
00:58:45Either way, your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:58:50No.
00:58:51No, you earned everything.
00:58:56Every word.
00:58:57Every page.
00:59:00Every reader.
00:59:02That's what I came to say.
00:59:07It was good to see you again, I hope.
00:59:10Charles.
00:59:12Can you just...
00:59:14Wait a little longer.
00:59:22I think I knew it was you.
00:59:25There was one email.
00:59:28You said something.
00:59:30It felt familiar.
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:59:36Very on brand.
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:40Too late.
00:59:41Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:43Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:59:46Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:59:52You've changed.
00:59:55But...
01:00:01Maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:00:05Anyway.
01:00:07I wanted to say...
01:00:12And...
01:00:13Thanks for being here tonight.
01:00:15You didn't have to come.
01:00:17Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:22You didn't have to come.
01:00:24Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:46If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again,
01:00:50would you do anything differently?
01:00:51Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:57No.
01:01:03No.
01:01:07I see.
01:01:11I know my answer now.
01:01:13I didn't have the power back then.
01:01:15Not enough to protect you.
01:01:17I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:01:20Because of my name.
01:01:22My family.
01:01:25I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:01:28So you just disappeared.
01:01:30Without a word.
01:01:34If you had the chance to see the world.
01:01:36Without me weighing you down.
01:01:38If you still chose me after that.
01:01:44You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:01:47But you made a choice for me.
01:01:51Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...
01:01:56I would have chosen you anyway?
01:02:03I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:02:06You weren't.
01:02:09But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:02:20This is me.
01:02:22Right.
01:02:30I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:02:34I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:02:43Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:47You're asking your ex, who you haven't seen in four years,
01:02:52to come into your hotel at approximately 11pm.
01:02:57You were right.
01:02:58You never were that smart.
01:03:00You don't have to come.
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:03:05It's almost like you say.
01:03:09Where's things better than I go?
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself.
01:03:20I recycle.
01:03:21It saves energy.
01:03:24This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer.
01:03:27You're the one who wants called romance a distraction.
01:03:30I said that?
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:03:34Still is.
01:03:36You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:03:41That is cute to me.
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:03:45I wasn't going to.
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:03:48Then shut up and prove it.
01:03:58I still can't believe this is happening.
01:04:00I told you they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:04:03And I told you they're both.
01:04:31I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:04:37Then I lie.
01:04:39Respectfully.
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:44Loudly.
01:04:46Quietly.
01:04:47Always.
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat a rip song.
01:04:57I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:05:03Especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you in your every story.
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't.
01:05:11You will always be part of my life.
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:05:16No, you're not.
01:05:17You're going to cry harder.
01:05:18For the rest of my life.
01:05:23For the rest of my life.
01:05:41I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:44Such a cliche honeymoon destination.
01:05:48Guard your phone.
01:05:49Relax.
01:05:50Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:56You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:59Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:07No. No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation. Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13You're overruled. You look much better without them.
01:06:21To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:06:33You're my own. But I don't wanna die alone.
01:06:37Cops.
01:06:38Cops.
01:06:39For your love, I'll be my god by the morning.
01:06:49Oopsie.
01:06:51My king.
01:06:55Okay.
01:07:02It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:08Help us develop, learn, and grow.
