00:00:02I'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. We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's cool.
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.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don'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.
00:01:18Almost 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 for yourself.
00:01:34That'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 now.
00:01:55You're not staying.
00:01:56You're okay?
00:01:57You're okay.
00:01:57You're okay anyway.
00:02:01I wanna say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:05Morning, class.
00:02:08And you're not seated because...
00:02:12I...
00:02:12don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15A new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:20No.
00:02:22There's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles.
00:02:24Charles case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30Why is she?
00:02:31Quiet.
00:02:33Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment...
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:53Charles.
00:02:54Move 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.
00:03:07She 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 Vaughan.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the...
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:39Wait.
00:03:40You sat next to Charles?
00:03:41She didn't.
00:03:42You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it past me.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:56I've seen...
00:03:57Connor.
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.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:07His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:10Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Everyone'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.
00:04:26Cold.
00:04:26Thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated.
00:04:32Like he's faking it all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No.
00:04:42Go on.
00:04:48You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:55Next time.
00:04:57Read the room before opening your mouth.
00:05:00American, we're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:21Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting happen?
00:05:27Not really, super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, all right.
00:05:34Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm, apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:44This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah, that's not incredible.
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:51It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:58Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07Rich people.
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:13Stephen King.
00:06:15First edition.
00:06:26I'm breaking and entering now.
00:06:28How American of you.
00:06:40You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:44Try to fight it hard.
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...
00:07:11Wait.
00:07:13Your house?
00:07:15My 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.
00:07:44Well, if you're sure, then...
00:07:45Absolutely not.
00:07:48Come on, Alice.
00:07:50You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be fun.
00:07:56My dear classmate.
00:08:00I'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.
00:08:27But, baby, you saved me...
00:08:30Bye.
00:08:31Good 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?
00:09:04Five miles to school.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:11Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:14Okay.
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:20What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:27Did you come back for me?
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.
00:10:19Clooney is that entitled brat anyway.
00:10:22Sir, you called the cab.
00:10:24Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why not 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.
00:10:51Hey.
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, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly.
00:11:09Oh, I insist.
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:11:16On the contrary.
00:11:18I think his ending is...
00:11:21Weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24You wish he'd 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.
00:11:36In the end, he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:40Forced them to confront 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?
00:11:58I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:11:59Didn'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.
00:12:08So, 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.
00:12:45He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:48That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:12:50You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:52In 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?
00:13:04Toxic, violent.
00:13:05He 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 was 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 opinion.
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on?
00:13:44Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new.
00:13:47And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of the most epic feud at your scene 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.
00:14:13That 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.
00:14:30But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:40Okay, noted.
00:14:44Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:01Hello?
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:05Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:38Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit.
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:15:52She 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.
00:16:13Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:15Mr. Pelton, Charles 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 her send her, will you?
00:16:24Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:33Alice!
00:16:43Come on, Alice.
00:16:45Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:48It's fine.
00:16:50You're fine.
00:16:54You're fine.
00:17:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:17:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:17:24Is it warm enough?
00:17:25What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:31Oh, so certain.
00:17:32Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we would pull up?
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:43I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:53Wow.
00:17:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:59Wouldn't recommend it.
00:18:00You're heavier than you look.
00:18:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:10Are you okay?
00:18:12No.
00:18:13But I will be.
00:18:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, Golden Boy?
00:18:20Don't worry.
00:18:21I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:26I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:46Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh, my God.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:54Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Top exploded.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Let's go.
00:19:05Let's go.
00:19:10Let's go.
00:19:17Let's go.
00:19:18The whole thing for attention.
00:19:43I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:49I'll look into it.
00:19:52I'll look into it.
00:19:54Good on you.
00:19:56How many here would speak up?
00:20:01I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:20:04That's insane.
00:20:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07They're busy protecting their Golden Boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last
00:20:15night.
00:20:16Please.
00:20:17He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:20:35Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting
00:20:42into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:20:46Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:20:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:51But sometimes, being here may stand behind, and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week
00:20:57enrichment program you can never afford.
00:21:02Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:16So yeah, I didn't go.
00:21:40What are you doing here?
00:21:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:48This is not even your kitchen.
00:21:50And this is not even your house.
00:21:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:55Just don't look.
00:21:56Go away.
00:21:57Part not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:03Buzzkill?
00:22:04Cockblock.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:22:09You know what?
00:22:10I don't get it.
00:22:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:22:14Why do you think?
00:22:21Where would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:22:27Florence.
00:22:28Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Titian.
00:22:32Or Titianum, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:22:41city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked.
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:48The final stop, Paris.
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:01That's word for word.
00:23:04I told you.
00:23:05I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:23:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:23:14Twice.
00:23:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:23:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:23:22No thank you.
00:23:25Wow.
00:23:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:23:27Well, that's unfortunate.
00:23:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:23:30One word of advice?
00:23:31Shut up.
00:23:32That's two words.
00:23:35You're weird.
00:23:36You're loud.
00:23:37You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen.
00:23:38You have three other kitchens.
00:23:40And I prefer this one.
00:23:42Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:46You didn't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:58That's a child.
00:23:59Roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:05I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:25What deal?
00:24:26You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow.
00:24:46I am deeply offended.
00:24:49That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52The staff's off tonight.
00:24:53I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort you back up.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:15Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:31It's good.
00:25:37It's good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:40Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:46It's American.
00:25:47And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:50You should read more.
00:25:53Put it down.
00:25:55I paid for it.
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs £200.
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08I'll make sure you're right.
00:26:23Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:349-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:409-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane's constant traffic.
00:26:47Shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:51I understand.
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57All right.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:01Please stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:06No.
00:27:09Please wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please.
00:27:16Please don't leave me.
00:27:49What 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.
00:28:06No snarky comeback?
00:28:08Not tonight.
00:28:09I'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.
00:28:21Traffic froze.
00:28:24Dad 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.
00:28:38Like 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,
00:28:54we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:07Come on.
00:29:08Come on.
00:29:09Come on.
00:29:09Come on.
00:29:11Come on.
00:29:11Come on.
00:29:18Come on.
00:29:22Wait.
00:29:23I thought the power 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,
00:29:32I'll allow it.
00:29:34Allow what?
00:29:36You 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,
00:29:45all yours.
00:29:49This
00:29:50is 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.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
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,
00:30:33you 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?
00:30:49Diagonally.
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?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03I don't know.
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.
00:31:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my,
00:31:17no.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:25No.
00:31:38Oh my God.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um,
00:31:53who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well,
00:32:01your 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,
00:32:07right?
00:32:07When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night,
00:32:10from Zurich,
00:32:11you didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway,
00:32:16thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently,
00:32:19I'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
00:32:28reconnect.
00:32:30You know,
00:32:31considering the engagement
00:32:32and all.
00:32:33Engagement?
00:32:35Oh,
00:32:37did 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,
00:32:53an American.
00:32:54How
00:32:56refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:00Wait.
00:33:06Wait.
00:33:17Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:24Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:33:31can you please just stop?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she like,
00:33:44the 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,
00:34:06and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well,
00:34:09apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:40Can you help me about my desk?
00:34:42I know it's 1066.
00:34:44Come to the music room.
00:34:45Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered,
00:34:48I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah,
00:34:51okay.
00:34:57Hello,
00:34:58is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously?
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait,
00:35:15music room,
00:35:16what?
00:35:18James,
00:35:19is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir,
00:35:28it's raining.
00:35:39Come on,
00:35:40Alice,
00:35:40you're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:51Wait,
00:35:51can you remind me
00:35:52one more time?
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knights are the weird one.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:40I...
00:36:41I saw the text
00:36:42and I thought...
00:36:43I 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...
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:56Don't tell me
00:36:58what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope
00:37:01that feels
00:37:04like hope
00:37:22I...
00:37:23That wasn't a mistake.
00:37:24If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:27I...
00:37:27wasn't going to.
00:37:28I do.
00:37:40I'm really bad at this,
00:37:42you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing.
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46Like that.
00:37:47Who you want to bless
00:37:48To the rhythm of your heart.
00:37:50The rest is not beginning
00:37:52They're flying in the animal.
00:37:54Tell me what you said
00:37:56Tell me where you wanna go
00:37:58Get me happy.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:09Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:19That's basically
00:38:20consent
00:38:21to everything.
00:38:26Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs
00:38:41on 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
00:39:06It may seem dark
00:39:10But you always light my spark
00:39:15In my heart
00:39:19Since the start
00:39:24Oh, I'll find my own
00:39:29Honestly,
00:39:31both
00:39:34I was sure
00:39:35I'd never find someone
00:39:36To make my head spin around
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be
00:39:40The thing I need
00:39:40They all just let me down
00:39:42But baby
00:39:43You saved me
00:39:45Till I'm brand new
00:39:48Everything's so different now
00:39:51So
00:39:52The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:56Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird
00:39:59And I like weird
00:40:08Check
00:40:15You're cheating
00:40:16I'm winning
00:40:17There's a difference
00:40:19You are very distracting
00:40:21And you like it
00:40:23I will be there for you, babe
00:40:26I'll be there for your darkest days
00:40:31I'll hold you in my arms
00:40:33Charles
00:40:34We need to talk
00:40:43I expected poor judgment
00:40:45But this in my house
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like
00:40:49No
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter
00:40:52In the family library
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles
00:40:56We came back tonight
00:40:57After speaking with Serena
00:40:59Imagine our surprise
00:41:00Walking in on
00:41:02This
00:41:02She isn't just
00:41:03You have no right
00:41:05To barge in
00:41:06On my property
00:41:10I care about her
00:41:12I'm not ashamed
00:41:13That's enough
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future
00:41:20And our name
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think
00:41:25She does not belong
00:41:27In your world
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything
00:41:36For a girl you barely know
00:41:41Yes
00:41:42Then
00:41:43Are you sure
00:41:45She's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you
00:41:53Do you think she's ready
00:41:55To lose everything
00:41:56Regardless of how little
00:41:57That 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
00:42:07Helton
00:42:08It's Frederick Kenwood
00:42:10Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student
00:42:15Were to violate our behavioral code
00:42:17In a public setting
00:42:19With photographic evidence
00:42:21Would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir
00:42:27So
00:42:28Answer me again
00:42:30Do you think she's ready
00:42:31To lose everything
00:42:33Just to be with you?
00:42:45Charles
00:42:46What happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother
00:42:58She's leaving
00:43:00So are you
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:02Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this
00:43:05I'll get a job
00:43:06Anything
00:43:06Stop, stop it
00:43:06You don't get it
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this
00:43:10They'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
00:43:18Then we'll figure it out
00:43:20We don't need all that
00:43:21We can
00:43:22Do you really think
00:43:24I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was
00:43:29Just fun
00:43:31Until it got inconvenient
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing
00:43:41They just reminded me
00:43:43Of what's real
00:43:47Charles
00:43:48I'm not stupid
00:43:49You don't just turn into a cold stranger
00:43:52Because 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
00:44:09Alice
00:44:11You're still lying
00:44:12I'm not
00:44:12Alice
00:44:13Alice
00:44:13Look around you
00:44:14This mansion
00:44:16You thought was a museum
00:44:17It's my house
00:44:20My world
00:44:21I was bored into this
00:44:23I am not choosing
00:44:24Between this
00:44:28And something I picked up
00:44:30For a moment
00:44:31Of fun
00:44:34Don't do this Charles
00:44:35You don't mean it
00:44:36It was fun
00:44:38But 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
00:44:55Don't end up with girls like me
00:44:59You play with them
00:45:00Then 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
00:45:28You're around me
00:45:29You're around me
00:45:29Feels so heavy
00:45:30But depleted
00:45:34But I find this the place
00:45:36To test myself
00:45:46Oops
00:46:03Oh sorry
00:46:05Didn't see you there
00:46:06Then again
00:46:07Nobody does
00:46:08Move please
00:46:10Try begging
00:46:18You know what
00:46:19Keep it
00:46:24Poor thing
00:46:26So dramatic
00:46:28Don't
00:46:29Excuse me
00:46:31I warned you
00:46:32Walk away Serena
00:46:54Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:58But one pair surprised me
00:47:00In a good way
00:47:01Charles Kenwood
00:47:03And Alice Keaton
00:47:04Would you mind giving us a short summary
00:47:07She loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:09Better have it
00:47:11I couldn't stay
00:47:11I couldn't wait
00:47:13I thought that you should know that I would have
00:47:17Can hang around
00:47:19Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos
00:47:25Or silence and noise
00:47:28Different worlds
00:47:29Different rules
00:47:32At first glance
00:47:33They clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting
00:47:37Is what happens next
00:47:38Confusion
00:47:39Curiosity
00:47:40But in the end
00:47:42Some stories aren't about staying
00:47:44And yes
00:47:45There is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:57And yes
00:47:57There 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
00:48:10Thank you Alice
00:48:11That was
00:48:13Later
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:23Hello
00:48:24Hi this Alice Keaton
00:48:26This is We're More Press
00:48:27We've been following your work
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long term publishing contract
00:48:30Name your price
00:48:31We'll
00:48:32We'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:50Can
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to
00:48:55Please
00:48:57Or at least
00:48:58Tell me a name
00:49:03Sorry
00:49:03They wish to stay in office
00:49:04So they're only interested in words
00:49:06Not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
00:49:08I'm sorry
00:49:09But keep them
00:49:09They work very soon
00:49:10I think the most generous work
00:49:12We've ever given a video
00:49:12I 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
00:49:24Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:26That's iconic
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah
00:49:39I'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
00:50:00You 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 would be the final day
00:50:12I'd be there in the dark
00:50:16Congratulations
00:50:17Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life
00:50:20You were always meant to
00:50:27Your engagement and announcement
00:50:29Should align perfectly
00:50:31With the Foundation Gala
00:50:32And the Browns already offered
00:50:35To host the London reception
00:50:38It's all coming together
00:50:39Beautifully
00:50:43I've lost my appetite
00:50:48I'll go check on him
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement
00:51:01Is 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
00:51:13Pretending
00:51:14You know that
00:51:44sponsor. You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time. So? You lied to everyone, including
00:51:53her. I protected her. You loved her. Still do. Let it go, Serena. There's no point.
00:52:15I need a favour. Find out when the Oxford interview is. And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:27Anything? No? She's not answering. The interview's almost over. Well, she won't just not show up.
00:52:35Something's wrong. Where's Alice? When was the last time you heard from her? Last night.
00:52:41She said she was prepping all evening. James, track someone for me. Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay? We won't hurt you. Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview. That's it.
00:53:14Shit! Come back!
00:53:43I remember how it meant
00:53:47I didn't need a second guess
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:57Alice, hey, hey, 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, passerby brought you in
00:54:15Passerby
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
00:54:27Someone 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?
00:54:41Nothing
00:54:43I just
00:54:44had a dream
00:54:57I got him!
00:54:59Oh, I knew it
00:55:04Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:07He's not here
00:55:09Oh, you didn't know?
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:14He left
00:55:15A few days ago, yeah
00:55:16Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly, Astra's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:28Alice
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
00:55:45It ended quietly
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
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:19Which 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, not even a single
00:56:32date
00:56:32Let me guess, a bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36All right, all right
00:56:37No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once, I did
00:56:46That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:53And 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
00:57:12That's
00:57:13Incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe 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
00:57:27You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah, just once
00:57:32Tonight, 7pm
00:57:44Good evening
00:57:49Good evening
00:57:50Good evening
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:58Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:02Are you happy with how we end?
00:58:07You look well
00:58:10And you look 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
00:58:20I was hoping
00:58:23But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:27Or to reopen anything
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:35Oh, thank you
00:58:37Oh, thank you
00:58:37Thanks for keeping us
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:40You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:44Always
00:58:45Either way
00:58:46Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:51No
00:58:51No
00:58:51You weren't 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
00:59:09I hope
00:59:09Charles
00:59:12Can you just
00:59:14Wait a little longer?
00:59:23I think I knew it was you
00:59:26There was one email
00:59:28You said something
00:59:29It felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that
00:59:33Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:35Very on brand
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:40Too late
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:43Still the only girl I know
00:59:45Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:46Still the only guy I know
00:59:48Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:52You've changed
00:59:54But
00:59:56Not really
00:59:58You haven't changed
01:00:01But maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:00:06Anyway
01:00:07I wanted to say
01:00:09Thank you
01:00:11And
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
01:00:48If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:56No
01:01:01No
01:01:03No
01:01:06I see
01:01:12I 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
01:01:29So 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?
01:02:48You're asking your ex
01:02:49Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:52To come into your hotel
01:02:53At 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
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle
01:03:21It saves energy
01:03:23This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who once 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
01:03:42Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:48Then shut up
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:58I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:59I told you
01:04:00They're either worst enemies
01:04:02Or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you
01:04:04They're both
01:04:31I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:36Then 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
01:04:56He did beat her at sarcasm
01:05:01I 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
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:16No you're not
01:05:17You're going to cry harder
01:05:38I 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
01:05:52And you'll be fine
01:05:56You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:05:59Please Alice
01:06:00Go change
01:06:01Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:07No
01:06:08No
01:06:09No
01:06:09That is not an invitation
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes
01:06:13Overruled
01:06:13You look much better without them
01:06:21To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:23In chaos
01:06:24In chapters
01:06:26You will find your way home
01:06:29You will find your way home
01:06:30To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:30Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:34Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:35But I don't want to die alone
01:06:37God
01:06:38God
01:06:38God
01:06:39God
01:06:40God
01:06:40What is your love?
01:06:41I'm going to be on my own
01:06:44I'm going to be on my own
01:06:45I'm going to be on my own
01:06:48I'm going to be on my own
01:07:02It's up to us
01:07:04To make sure that we can gain
01:07:06What's been passed through these books
01:07:08Help us develop
01:07:09Learn
01:07:10And grow
