00:03:59American
00:04:02we're not in Kansas anymore Alice
00:04:20Hey, how was your first day?
00:04:23Uh, good.
00:04:24Anything exciting happen?
00:04:26Not really, super uneventful.
00:04:29Really?
00:04:30How was your new job?
00:04:31Yeah, alright.
00:04:32Get this?
00:04:33They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:04:35Seriously?
00:04:36Hmm, apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:04:40The young master?
00:04:43This is your boss's house.
00:04:45Yeah?
00:04:46Isn't that incredible?
00:04:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:04:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:04:58Wait here, I'll talk to the butler.
00:05:05Wow, rich people.
00:05:07You've topped yourselves again.
00:05:12Stephen King.
00:05:14First edition!
00:05:25Breaking and entering now.
00:05:27How American of you.
00:05:30I...
00:05:50You can get up now.
00:05:51I...
00:05:53I...
00:05:53I'm trying.
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:56Are you serious?
00:05:58Well, you said you were trying.
00:06:01What 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?
00:06:09You...
00:06:10Wait.
00:06:12Your house?
00:06:13My house.
00:06:14My house.
00:06:15My library.
00:06:15And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:06:20Ah, Master Charles.
00:06:22You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:06:24She said you'd be moving in today.
00:06:26Is she what?
00:06:27There...
00:06:27There'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.
00:06:37Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:06:39Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:06:43Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:06:47Come on, Alice.
00:06:49You must stay.
00:06:52It'll be fun.
00:06:55My dear classmate.
00:06:59I'm dead.
00:07:00Like 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.
00:07:17You've been through hell.
00:07:22Actually, no.
00:07:24This is hell.
00:07:28Hi.
00:07:29Hi.
00:07:29Good morning.
00:07:37Wow.
00:07:44Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:47One thing doesn't know.
00:07:48That shop's been closed for months.
00:07:50She's going to be late.
00:07:56Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:07:59Maybe 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.
00:08:15What are you doing here? Didn't you already leave?
00:08:23Wait, did you come back for me?
00:08:28Relax.
00:08:28Relax.
00:08:30I forgot my textbook.
00:08:32Don't flatter yourself.
00:08:33Wait.
00:08:37Since you're already here, maybe 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 an entitled brat anyway?
00:09:20Sir, you called the cab.
00:09:22Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:28Why 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.
00:09:39I just don't like drama.
00:09:47Asshole.
00:09:48Hey.
00:09:50Morning, Klaus.
00:09:52Back to Golding.
00:09:54Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:01Mr. Kenwood.
00:10:03Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:05Not particularly.
00:10:07Oh, I insist.
00:10:09You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:11I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:10:14On the contrary.
00:10:16I think his ending is...
00:10:18weak.
00:10:20Wait, wait.
00:10:21You've actually read it?
00:10:22Quiet.
00:10:25That's an interesting take.
00:10:26Explain.
00:10:27No.
00:10:29He had the set up for something brutal.
00:10:32Something honest.
00:10:33In the end, he backed out.
00:10:36He could have left the boys on the island.
00:10:37Forced them to confront the collapsible morality.
00:10:40Let them choose survival.
00:10:42Or death.
00:10:43But 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 opinion.
00:11:00I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:11:03It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:11:06How so?
00:11:09The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:11:11You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:11:14Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:19That's an interesting take, Miss Keeter.
00:11:21You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:24In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:11:28Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:11:33And the civilized world? Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:11:38So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:11:47Thank you, Miss Keeter.
00:11:48Well said.
00:11:50Anyone else?
00:11:53Both opinions are valid.
00:11:55Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:11:57And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:01Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:12:06What's happening to me?
00:12:13Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:17Well, you're new, and apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:12:21A what now?
00:12:21You two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's seen in years.
00:12:26We're not even fighting.
00:12:27Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got
00:12:34rejected again.
00:12:34And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:12:43You were there, Sherry. That is not what happened.
00:12:47Doesn't matter. People believe what they want to believe.
00:12:50And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:12:53Wow.
00:12:55Is massage any like a rich kid thing, or just a British specialty?
00:12:58Honestly, both.
00:13:01But seriously, I'll-
00:13:07Fine.
00:13:21Seriously?
00:13:25Shit.
00:13:30What the hell?
00:13:33Anne.
00:13:34I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:13:36She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:13:42Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:13:52Shit.
00:13:57Alice!
00:13:58Alice!
00:13:59Mr Pelton. Charles Kenwood here.
00:14:01I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton. She hasn't come home.
00:14:06I'll have it sent over.
00:14:16Come on, Alice.
00:14:19Close your eyes and jump.
00:14:21It's fine.
00:14:23We're fine.
00:14:29Mrs Pelham!
00:14:30No.
00:14:51I'm not happy with you.
00:14:57What... what are you doing here?
00:15:02Can you get off me first?
00:15:13You're welcome.
00:15:15I didn't say thank you.
00:15:17I figured saving your life might only be basic manners.
00:15:19Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:15:22Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:15:24You smell like a biology experiment.
00:15:26Wow.
00:15:28You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:15:32Wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:15:36I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:15:43Are you okay?
00:15:45No, but I will be.
00:15:48Someone did this on purpose.
00:15:50What do you think, golden boy?
00:15:53Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:15:54You shouldn't have to.
00:15:58I'm...
00:15:59sorry.
00:16:06Sorry.
00:16:12Did you just...
00:16:14apologize to me?
00:16:14Don't get used to it.
00:16:15I wouldn't dream of it.
00:16:19Alice?
00:16:20Over here.
00:16:22Oh my god.
00:16:24You okay?
00:16:27Why are you drenched?
00:16:28Yeah.
00:16:29I just...
00:16:30took a weird shower.
00:16:32Top exploded.
00:16:34Come on.
00:16:35Let's get you home.
00:16:46Alice Keaton, right?
00:16:49I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:17:15I know how this place works.
00:17:17If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:17:21I'll look into it.
00:17:24Charles?
00:17:26Good on you.
00:17:28How many here would speak up?
00:17:33I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:17:36That's insane!
00:17:37Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:17:39They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:17:42Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:17:48Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:18:07Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:18:10Like saving a fortune on tuition.
00:18:13And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:18:17Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:18:20Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:18:23But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:18:26And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:18:33Have fun!
00:18:34Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:18:42The trip cost 20 grand in pounds.
00:18:44Which translates to,
00:18:46Mom's salary for half a year.
00:18:48So, yeah.
00:18:49I didn't go.
00:19:09This... this is not even your kitchen.
00:19:11And this is not even your house.
00:19:13And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:19:16Just don't look. Go away.
00:19:17Hard not to.
00:19:19When you're walking around dressed like that.
00:19:21What do you guys call it?
00:19:23Um...
00:19:23Buzzkill?
00:19:25Cockblock.
00:19:26You're insufferable.
00:19:27You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:19:30You know what?
00:19:31I don't get it.
00:19:31Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:19:33I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:19:35Why do you think?
00:19:41Where would I go?
00:19:42I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:19:46Florence.
00:19:47Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:19:52Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:19:56Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:20:01city on earth.
00:20:02Next stop, Napoli.
00:20:04Marvel at Pompeii.
00:20:06Pretend you're shocked.
00:20:07Ancient people had plumbing.
00:20:08The final stop, Harry.
00:20:11The ultimate city of romance.
00:20:14And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:20:21That's word for word.
00:20:23I told you.
00:20:25I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:20:27Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:20:29Most people would kill for that chance.
00:20:31Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:20:34Twice.
00:20:36Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:20:38Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:20:40Standard rooms in five-star hotels?
00:20:43No, thank you.
00:20:45Wow.
00:20:46Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:20:47That's unfortunate.
00:20:48It's a very chaotic city.
00:20:50One word of advice?
00:20:51Shut up.
00:20:52That's two words.
00:20:55You're weird.
00:20:56You're loud.
00:20:57You're annoying.
00:20:57You're in my kitchen.
00:20:58You have three other kitchens.
00:21:00And I prefer this one.
00:21:02Just for today.
00:21:03Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:21:05Come back with normal clothes on.
00:21:06You don't have to come.
00:21:07Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:21:08No.
00:21:11No.
00:21:23I've got it sorted.
00:21:38Jesus, what are you doing?
00:21:40Relax.
00:21:42I'm here to make a deal.
00:21:44What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:21:50You'll survive.
00:21:52I'm not selling my body.
00:22:03Wow, I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me.
00:22:09Then what are you doing?
00:22:11The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:22:16Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:22:19No, I...
00:22:20Jesus.
00:22:22Wait. You think I'm not worth £100?
00:22:27I'm not spending £100 to snort you back up.
00:22:30You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:22:34Are you sure about that?
00:22:38I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries. You're welcome.
00:22:44Interesting combo.
00:22:45Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:22:50It's good.
00:22:57Was that a compliment?
00:22:59Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:23:02Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian. It's American.
00:23:05And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:23:08You should read more.
00:23:11Put it down.
00:23:13I paid for it.
00:23:14You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:23:16To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:23:21It's only easy because it costs £200.
00:23:24You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:23:26I'll make sure the next time.
00:23:42Okay, Alice. It's fine. You're fine.
00:23:52911, what's with your emergency?
00:23:58911, what's with your emergency?
00:24:00It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:24:03Okay, miss. The hurricane's constant. Traffic's shut down.
00:24:05We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:24:07Please, he's not well.
00:24:08I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:24:13Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:24:15All right.
00:24:17My daughter.
00:24:18Please stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:24:26No. Please wake up.
00:24:32Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:25:06You... What are you doing here?
00:25:12You were crying. Loudly. Kind of hard to ignore.
00:25:19Right. Sorry for the night.
00:25:22Wait, you know snarky come back?
00:25:25Not tonight. I'm too tired.
00:25:27If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:25:31You were calling for your dad, right?
00:25:35Hurricane hit New York.
00:25:37Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:25:40Dad had a stroke, but he couldn't get help in time.
00:25:46I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:25:53Peaceful.
00:25:55But he was asleep.
00:25:57But he wasn't.
00:26:02So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:26:05This used to be our hometown.
00:26:08After Dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:26:17What are you doing?
00:26:22Come on.
00:26:38Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:26:41It is.
00:26:43We have our own generator.
00:26:44Wow. Rich people houses her.
00:26:47Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:26:51Allow what?
00:26:53You can call this place your house.
00:26:54So enjoy it.
00:26:56Stephen King's first edition.
00:26:58Alan Gisbo's handwritten letters.
00:27:00Jane Austen's notes.
00:27:02All yours.
00:27:07This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:27:15I'm careful.
00:27:17Almost sounded sweet.
00:27:19Don't push it.
00:27:20Okay then.
00:27:23I have one request.
00:27:29What is it?
00:27:34Inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:27:39Yeah. Got a problem?
00:27:42It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:27:46It's literally a board game.
00:27:47Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:27:51Wait, does the knight go diagonally?
00:27:53For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:27:58One, two, then turn.
00:28:01There.
00:28:03Happy?
00:28:04Ecstatic.
00:28:07No, that's suicide.
00:28:08Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:28:11You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:28:13Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:28:14You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:28:16Golding disagrees.
00:28:18It's going to be a long night.
00:28:20Oh my, no.
00:28:21Why?
00:28:22What's happening?
00:28:22You can't do that.
00:28:23I don't know that, can I do that?
00:28:24No, no, no, oh my god.
00:28:25Can I not do that?
00:28:26No.
00:28:46Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:28:56Um, who are you?
00:29:02What are you doing here?
00:29:03Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:29:06Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:29:08Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:29:10When did you get back?
00:29:12Last night, from Zurich.
00:29:14You didn't answer my messages.
00:29:17I missed you.
00:29:19Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:29:21Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:29:24Your parents were so thrilled.
00:29:26They didn't tell me about this.
00:29:27I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:29:29They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:29:33You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:29:36Engagement?
00:29:38Oh, did no one tell you?
00:29:41He's promised.
00:29:43Old money stuff.
00:29:44Very retro.
00:29:45I didn't agree to that.
00:29:46You didn't have to.
00:29:47It's never up to us.
00:29:50Where did you find this little toy?
00:29:52Serena?
00:29:53I can hear you, you know.
00:29:55Oh, an American.
00:29:57How refreshing.
00:30:02Goodbye.
00:30:04Wait.
00:30:20Where are you going?
00:30:21You still owe me breakfast.
00:30:23You only paid for dinner.
00:30:25I have homework.
00:30:27Goodbye.
00:30:30Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:30:32Serena, can you please just stop?
00:30:34What?
00:30:35Teasing the help?
00:30:42That's her.
00:30:43That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:30:46Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:31:03Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:31:06They're saying you live with Charles.
00:31:08Oh, and Serena.
00:31:10What about her?
00:31:11Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:31:15Of course she did.
00:31:16I don't know.
00:31:22That's her.
00:31:24I don't know.
00:31:29I don't know.
00:31:31I don't know.
00:31:33Oh my God.
00:31:35Oh my God.
00:31:43I know, it's 1066.
00:31:46Come to the music room.
00:31:47Urgent.
00:31:48I just remembered I need to check something.
00:31:51You guys go ahead.
00:31:52Yeah, okay.
00:31:59Alice, is someone there?
00:32:01Seriously!
00:32:02This is getting old!
00:32:15Wait.
00:32:17Music room, what?
00:32:20James?
00:32:21Was anybody in here earlier?
00:32:23Just Miss Serena.
00:32:24Said she was waiting for you.
00:32:27Sir?
00:32:29Sir, it's raining!
00:32:40Oh, at least you're fine.
00:32:44You're not that girl again.
00:32:52Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:32:55Okay.
00:32:56Rooks move in straight lines.
00:32:58Yeah.
00:32:59Bishops move diagonally.
00:33:01And knights...
00:33:01The knight's the weird one.
00:33:08Rooks.
00:33:10Straight lines.
00:33:12Bishops.
00:33:13Diagonally.
00:33:15Hello?
00:33:34The text.
00:33:37Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:33:40I'm okay. I saw the text and I thought...
00:33:43I didn't see the message. Serena took my phone. I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:33:48I'm okay. You're going to catch a cold.
00:33:53You're freezing.
00:33:54You didn't have to come.
00:33:57Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:34:22That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:34:27I wasn't going to.
00:34:40I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:34:43What? Kissing?
00:34:44Hiding feelings.
00:34:46Like that?
00:35:07Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:35:10Oh, you wish.
00:35:13Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:35:16You kissed me. That's basically consent to everything.
00:35:26Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:35:39You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:35:42The list is on the board.
00:35:46One, two, three, four.
00:35:51Are you okay?
00:35:52Fly me to outer space
00:35:55That's where I'll see your face
00:36:00And have you with me
00:36:06It may seem dark
00:36:10But you always lie to my spark
00:36:14In my heart
00:36:21You're welcome
00:36:26They're either enemies
00:36:27We're secretly married
00:36:29Honestly
00:36:30Both
00:36:33I was sure I'd never find someone
00:36:35To make my head spin around
00:36:37No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:36:40They all just let me down
00:36:42But baby
00:36:43You saved me
00:36:45Till I'm brand new
00:36:48Everything's so different
00:36:51So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:36:55Why is that the only one you remember?
00:36:57Because it's weird
00:36:58And I like weird
00:37:08Check
00:37:15You're cheating
00:37:16I'm winning
00:37:17There's a difference
00:37:18You are very distracting
00:37:21And you like it
00:37:32Charles
00:37:34We need to talk
00:37:42I expected poor judgement
00:37:44But this in my house
00:37:47It isn't what it looks like
00:37:48No
00:37:50Kissing a servant's daughter
00:37:51In the family library
00:37:53Enlighten me then, Charles
00:37:55We came back tonight
00:37:56After speaking with Serena
00:37:57Imagine our surprise
00:37:59Walking in on
00:38:00This
00:38:01She isn't just
00:38:02You have no right
00:38:04To barge in
00:38:05On my property
00:38:09I care about her
00:38:11I'm not ashamed of that
00:38:12That's enough
00:38:16Why do you care?
00:38:17We're protecting our son's future
00:38:19And our name
00:38:22You think this protects me
00:38:23We think
00:38:24She does not belong
00:38:26In your world
00:38:30Then maybe I don't either
00:38:33You're ready to give up everything
00:38:35For a girl you barely know
00:38:40Yes
00:38:40Then
00:38:42Are you sure
00:38:44She's ready?
00:38:50I'm asking you
00:38:52Do you think she's ready
00:38:53To lose everything
00:38:55Regardless of how little
00:38:56That is
00:38:57Just to be with you
00:38:58What are you talking about?
00:39:00You left us no choice, son
00:39:01You shouldn't disobey your father
00:39:06Pelton
00:39:07It's Frederick Kenwood
00:39:09Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:39:10How can I help?
00:39:12If a scholarship student
00:39:13Were to violate our behavioural code
00:39:16In a public setting
00:39:17With photographic evidence
00:39:19Would that warrant a review?
00:39:21Yes, sir
00:39:25So
00:39:26Answer me again
00:39:28Do you think she's ready
00:39:30To lose everything
00:39:31Just to be with you?
00:39:43Charles
00:39:44What happened?
00:39:44Did your parents say something?
00:39:45Are they mad?
00:39:46Is everything okay?
00:39:48Pack your things
00:39:50You can't stay here anymore
00:39:52What?
00:39:55My parents fired your mother
00:39:57She's leaving
00:39:58So are you
00:39:59Wait, what?
00:39:59Why?
00:40:00Is it because of us?
00:40:01We can fix this
00:40:03I'll get a job
00:40:03Anything
00:40:04Stop, stop it
00:40:04You don't get it
00:40:06If I don't walk away from this
00:40:08They'll cut me off
00:40:09Okay?
00:40:10No card
00:40:11No trust
00:40:12No support
00:40:14Nothing
00:40:15Then
00:40:16Then we'll figure it out
00:40:18We don't need all that
00:40:19We can
00:40:20Do you really think
00:40:21I'm going to live like that?
00:40:25So that's what this was
00:40:27Just
00:40:28Just
00:40:28Just
00:40:29Fun
00:40:29Until it got inconvenient
00:40:31What did they promise you?
00:40:36Nothing
00:40:39They just reminded me
00:40:40Of what's
00:40:41Real
00:40:45Charles
00:40:45I'm not stupid
00:40:47You don't just turn into
00:40:48A cold stranger
00:40:49Because of one conversation
00:40:50What did they threaten you with?
00:40:57What did they threaten you with?
00:40:59This is the difference
00:41:00Between me and you
00:41:01What?
00:41:02You think you know me
00:41:03Or what I have
00:41:05You don't
00:41:07Alice
00:41:08You're still lying
00:41:09I'm not
00:41:10Alice
00:41:10Look around you
00:41:12This mansion
00:41:13You thought was a museum
00:41:15It's my house
00:41:17My world
00:41:18I was bored into this
00:41:21I am not choosing
00:41:22Between this
00:41:25And something I picked up
00:41:27For a moment
00:41:28Of fun
00:41:31Don't do this Charles
00:41:32You don't mean it
00:41:34It was fun
00:41:35But you
00:41:38You don't compare
00:41:39To what I own
00:41:42I'll survive the loss
00:41:45Right
00:41:48I should have known
00:41:51Guys like you
00:41:52Don't end up
00:41:52With girls like me
00:41:56You play with them
00:41:57Then you throw them away
00:42:00Go to sleep Alice
00:42:12This fall is a little more
00:42:15Than I expected
00:42:18In so deep
00:42:20I can barely see myself
00:42:25The air around me
00:42:26Feels so heavy
00:42:27But depleted
00:42:31But I find
00:42:32That's the place
00:42:33To test myself
00:42:43Oops
00:43:00Oh sorry
00:43:01Didn't see that
00:43:03Then again
00:43:04Nobody does
00:43:05Move please
00:43:07Try begging
00:43:14You know what
00:43:16Keep it
00:43:21Poor thing
00:43:22So dramatic
00:43:25Don't
00:43:26Excuse me
00:43:27I warned you
00:43:29Walk away
00:43:30Serena
00:43:50Last week's group assignments
00:43:52Were mostly forgettable
00:43:54But one pair surprised me
00:43:56In a good way
00:43:57Charles Kenwood
00:43:59And Alice Keaton
00:44:00Would you mind giving us
00:44:02A short summary
00:44:03She loves the sound
00:44:05Of her own voice
00:44:05Better have it
00:44:14Our essay
00:44:15Explored what happens
00:44:17When two fundamentally
00:44:18Different voices meet
00:44:19Like logic and chaos
00:44:21Or silence and noise
00:44:24Different worlds
00:44:25Different rules
00:44:28At first glance
00:44:29They clash
00:44:30But what makes the story
00:44:32Interesting
00:44:32Is what happens next
00:44:34Confusion
00:44:35Curiosity
00:44:36But in the end
00:44:38Some stories
00:44:38Aren't about staying
00:44:40And yes
00:44:41There is no such thing
00:44:42As a happy ending
00:44:52And yes
00:44:53There is no such thing
00:44:54As a happy ending
00:44:56Is she still talking
00:44:57About the essay
00:45:01Miss Keaton
00:45:03Dramatic as always
00:45:05Alright
00:45:06Thank you Alice
00:45:07That was
00:45:09Layered
00:45:11Are you okay?
00:45:12A reminder
00:45:13That good literature
00:45:15Always stirs something
00:45:19Hello?
00:45:20Hi
00:45:20This is Alice Keaton
00:45:21This is Whitmore Press
00:45:22We've been following your work
00:45:23We'd like to offer you
00:45:24A long term publishing contract
00:45:26Name your price
00:45:27We'll
00:45:27We'll make it work
00:45:28Sorry what?
00:45:33That's
00:45:34Kind of
00:45:34Insane
00:45:35Who's behind this?
00:45:37Your sponsor wishes to remain
00:45:38Anonymous
00:45:39Can
00:45:41Can I meet them?
00:45:43I want to
00:45:45Please
00:45:46Or at least
00:45:47Tell me a name
00:45:51Sorry
00:45:52They wish to stay in office
00:45:53So they're only interested in words
00:45:54Not the person
00:45:55I'd really like to meet them
00:45:56I'm sorry for to keep them
00:45:57They were very good
00:45:58I think the most generous offer
00:46:00We've ever given a Disney roster
00:46:02I see
00:46:04Congratulations again
00:46:09You got the interview
00:46:10It's just an interview
00:46:11I haven't gotten in yet
00:46:12Still
00:46:13Alice Keaton
00:46:14At Oxford
00:46:17You okay?
00:46:19Yeah
00:46:21I'm so excited
00:46:35It's done Mr. Kenwood
00:46:36Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:46:39Good
00:46:41It's a generous deal
00:46:42You sure you don't want it to know?
00:46:44No
00:46:46You know
00:46:47It's better if I stay out of her life
00:46:49I will be there for you
00:46:53I'll be there in your darkest days
00:46:58Congratulations
00:46:58Alice Keaton
00:47:01Go live the life
00:47:02You were always meant to
00:47:07Your engagement announcement
00:47:09Should align perfectly
00:47:11With the Foundation Gala
00:47:12And the Browns already offered
00:47:15To host the London reception
00:47:18It's all coming together
00:47:19Beautifully
00:47:23I've lost my appetite
00:47:28I'll go check on him
00:47:34What's your problem, Charles?
00:47:40Disengagement
00:47:41It's not happening
00:47:42It's not up to you
00:47:43You know that
00:47:44Serena, we're not doing this
00:47:47You've changed
00:47:52Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:48:11What's your problem, Charles?
00:48:22You're the sponsor
00:48:24You've been funding Alice Keaton
00:48:25This whole time
00:48:29So?
00:48:30You lied to everyone
00:48:31Including her
00:48:33I protected her
00:48:37You loved her
00:48:38Still do
00:48:41Let it go, Serena
00:48:44There's no point
00:48:54I need a favour
00:48:55Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:48:59And make sure Alice Keaton
00:49:01Won't show up
00:49:06Anything?
00:49:07No?
00:49:08She's not answering
00:49:09The interview's almost over
00:49:11Well, she won't just not show up
00:49:13Something's wrong
00:49:16Where's Alice?
00:49:18When was the last time you heard from her?
00:49:19Last night
00:49:20She said she was prepping all evening
00:49:26James, track someone for me
00:49:29Wait, where are you going?
00:49:38Chill, okay
00:49:39It won't hurt you
00:49:41Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:49:44That's it
00:49:52Shit
00:49:53Come back
00:50:22I remember how it meant
00:50:24I remember how it meant
00:50:26Didn't need a second guess
00:50:32Hey, hey, hey
00:50:33Alice, Alice
00:50:35Alice, stay with me
00:50:36Stay with me
00:50:36Stay with me, Alice
00:50:37Alice
00:50:44You're awake
00:50:46Where, where am I?
00:50:48Local clinic
00:50:50Passerby brought you in
00:50:52Passerby
00:50:53He found you on the side of the road
00:50:55He had to leave
00:50:56He didn't leave a name
00:50:59Oh
00:51:01The interview
00:51:02What time is it?
00:51:03Easy
00:51:04It's okay
00:51:05Someone already contacted the university
00:51:07And sent in your writing samples
00:51:09They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:51:11Wait, what?
00:51:12Who?
00:51:13No idea
00:51:14But it's all taken care of
00:51:18What did you say?
00:51:20Nothing
00:51:21I just
00:51:23Had a dream
00:51:34I got him!
00:51:39I knew it
00:51:41Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:51:44He's not here
00:51:46Oh, you didn't know
00:51:48Know what?
00:51:50He left
00:51:51A few days ago
00:51:53Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:51:55Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:51:57It's probably for the best
00:51:59Come on
00:52:05Alice?
00:52:09The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:52:13Chaotic
00:52:15Unexpected
00:52:18And with his absence
00:52:19Come on
00:52:21It ended quietly
00:52:25Like summers always do
00:52:39And joining us today
00:52:41The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:52:45Alice Heaton
00:52:46Thank you for having me
00:52:47Now, your words moved millions
00:52:50They say your stories feel real
00:52:53Especially the ones about love
00:52:55Thank you
00:52:55Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:52:58How's your dating life like these days?
00:53:00No comment
00:53:01A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:53:08date
00:53:08Let me guess, a bird named Sherry
00:53:10She caught me
00:53:11Still no comment
00:53:12All right, all right
00:53:13No matter what you say
00:53:14You write love
00:53:16Like someone who's lived it
00:53:19If you're so real
00:53:20Because once
00:53:21I did
00:53:22With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:53:24And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:53:28And let's give it up for Alice Heaton one more time
00:53:43Congratulations Alice
00:53:44The numbers just came in
00:53:45You broke your own record
00:53:48That's incredible
00:53:50We're thinking celebration
00:53:51Press
00:53:52Photos
00:53:53Maybe tonight
00:53:54Actually
00:53:55There's something I'd rather do
00:53:58I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:54:02My sponsor
00:54:03You're sure?
00:54:05Yeah
00:54:05Just once
00:54:08Tonight
00:54:087pm
00:54:20Good evening
00:54:26I think I knew it was you
00:54:30There was one email
00:54:33You said something
00:54:34It felt familiar
00:54:35Really?
00:54:36Kind of had that
00:54:37Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:54:40Very on brand
00:54:42I should have anonymized my grammar
00:54:44Too late
00:54:45Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:54:48Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation
00:54:50Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically
00:54:57You've changed
00:54:58But
00:55:01Not really
00:55:03You haven't changed
00:55:05But
00:55:05Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:55:10Anyway
00:55:11I wanted to say
00:55:14Thank you
00:55:16And
00:55:17Thanks for being here tonight
00:55:19You didn't have to come
00:55:22Don't tell me what I have to do
00:55:23I do
00:55:26You didn't have to come
00:55:29Don't tell me what I have to do
00:55:51If you could go back
00:55:52If you had the chance to do it all again
00:55:54Would you do anything differently
00:55:56Would you do anything differently?
00:56:01No
00:56:06No
00:56:06No
00:56:11I see
00:56:15I know my answer now
00:56:16I didn't have the power back then
00:56:19Not enough to protect you
00:56:21I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
00:56:24Because of my name
00:56:26My family
00:56:29I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
00:56:31So you just disappeared
00:56:33Without a word
00:56:37If you had the chance to see the world
00:56:39Without me weighing you down
00:56:42If you still chose me after that
00:56:47You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
00:56:51But you made a choice for me
00:56:55Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
00:56:59I would have chosen you anyway
00:57:06I didn't think I was the smart choice
00:57:09You weren't
00:57:12But I never claimed to be that smart
00:57:23This is me
00:57:24Right
00:57:33I'm still mad at you
00:57:34You know
00:57:37I'm still in love with you
00:57:38You know
00:57:46Do you want to come in for a bit
00:57:51You're asking your ex
00:57:52Who you haven't seen in four years
00:57:54To come into your hotel
00:57:56At approximately 11pm
00:58:00You were right
00:58:01You never were that smart
00:58:03You don't have to come
00:58:05Don't tell me
00:58:06What I have to do
00:58:21Stop quoting yourself
00:58:23I recycle
00:58:23It saves energy
00:58:26This feels wildly irresponsible
00:58:28You sound like a disclaimer
00:58:29You're the one who once called romance a distraction
00:58:32I said that
00:58:33Yeah
00:58:34Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
00:58:36Still is
00:58:38You're lucky you're a good kisser
00:58:44That is cute
00:58:45Don't you dare quote poetry
00:58:47I wasn't going to
00:58:48I forgot all of it the day you left
00:58:51Then shut up
00:58:53And prove it
00:58:59I still can't believe this is happening
00:59:01I told you
00:59:02They're either worst enemies
00:59:04Or secretly married
00:59:05And I told you
00:59:05They're both
00:59:33I vow to always tell you the truth
00:59:36Except for when you ask how your cooking was
00:59:39Then I lie
00:59:41Respectfully
00:59:43I vow to keep choosing you
00:59:46Loudly
00:59:47Quietly
00:59:49Always
00:59:51Even when you forget to do the laundry
00:59:55Is he actually good at this?
00:59:57I mean
00:59:57He did beat over at Sarcassus
00:59:59I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:00:05Especially over Shakespeare
01:00:08I vow to write you in your every story
01:00:10Even when I say I didn't
01:00:12You will always be a part of my life
01:00:16If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:00:18I'm out
01:00:18No you're not
01:00:19You're going to cry harder
01:00:23Quietly
01:00:24Quietly
01:00:27Quietly
01:00:27Quietly
01:00:28Quietly
01:00:28Quietly
01:00:28Quietly
01:00:29Quietly
01:00:34Quietly
01:00:43Quietly
01:00:43Can't believe you picked Paris
01:00:45Such a cliché honeymoon destination
01:00:49Guard your phone
01:00:50Relax
01:00:51Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:00:53And you'll be fine
01:00:57You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:01:00Please Alice
01:01:01Let's go change
01:01:03Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:08No
01:01:10No, no, no, no
01:01:11That is not an invitation
01:01:12Do not take off these clothes
01:01:14Overruled
01:01:15You look much better without them
01:01:22To the ones who loved in silence
01:01:24In chaos
01:01:25In chapters
01:01:27You will find your way home
01:01:33Yeah I'm gonna be fine
01:01:35I'm gonna be fine
01:01:36But I don't
01:01:37Do you want to die alone?
01:01:38Regardless
01:01:43outro
01:01:49This is not an invitation
01:01:52I do not know
