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 Ashton.
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.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:18What was there?
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:22I call it terrifying.
00:01:30You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:48Okay.
00:01:49Okay.
00:01:50I'm sorry.
00:01:56I'm okay.

00:10:36she's new
00:10:37everybody's already talking
00:10:39so you're worried about her
00:10:40you're overthinking
00:10:42i just don't like drama
00:10:50asshole
00:10:50hey
00:10:53morning klaus
00:10:55back to golding
00:10:56remind 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
00:11:09oh
00:11:10i 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 actually read it
00:11:25quiet
00:11:27that's an interesting take
00:11:29explain
00:11:32he had the setup for something brutal
00:11:34something honest
00:11:36in the end
00:11:37he backed out
00:11:38he could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40forced them to confront the collapsible morality
00:11:42let them choose survival
00:11:44or death
00:11:45but instead
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about savagery
00:11:55it's a waste
00:11:56don't you think
00:11:57i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:11:59didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02i'm always a model student sir
00:12:04let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:08so
00:12:09a 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
00:12:33it's irony
00:12:34how 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
00:12:43golding 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 misquita
00:12:50you still think it's a harsh critique
00:12:52in some ways
00:12:54but not harsh enough
00:12:56yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59but still golding sympathize with them
00:13:02and the civilized world
00:13:04toxic
00:13:05violent
00:13:05he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07so yeah
00:13:08i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:13:09but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:15thank you miss keaton
00:13:17well said
00:13:18anyone else
00:13:22both opinions are valid
00:13:24okay
00:13:24that's kind of epic
00:13:26golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29good literature will always divide opinion
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
00:13:47and 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
00:13:59got rejected
00:14:01begged to sit next to him
00:14:02got rejected again
00:14:04and today in class
00:14:05you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:08and 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

00:19:52Charles

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
00:20:07busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds
00:20:10well for what it's worth
00:20:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night
00:20:16please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:35being a scholarship student has its perks
00:20:38like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:41like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:42and getting into 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
00:20:52but sometimes being here means staying behind
00:20:55and watching Ashford elites go on a two week enrichment program
00:20:59you can never afford
00:21:01have fun
00:21:03bring me something overpriced
00:21:06and

00:21:08and
00:21:08unnecessary
00:21:10the trip cost twenty grand in pounds
00:21:13which translates to
00:21:14mom's salary for half a year
00:21:16so yeah
00:21:17I didn't go

00:21:46you look like a rejected ewok
00:21:48this
00:21:49this is not even your kitchen
00:21:50and this is not even your house
00:21:52and yet you're here
00:21:53dressed like this

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
00:22:30Michelangelo
00:22:31da Vinci
00:22:31and Titian
00:22:32or
00:22:33Tiziana
00:22:33if you want to sound extra pretentious
00:22:36then Venice

00:27:49You, what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying, loudly, kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right, sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, you know 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.
00:28:24Dad had a stroke, but 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, we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:07Come 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.
00:29:35Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place your house, so enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition, Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters, Jane Austen's notes, all yours.
00:29:50This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:03Don'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.
00:30:25I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:37It's just so cool, like 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, does the night go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One, two, and turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy.
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03You know, that'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, no.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Oh my God.
00:31:23You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Had to pull you in close as we're locked on the phone.
00:31:30Call yourself up as I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:35Showing up at me the world.
00:31:38Holdin' 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?
00:32:01Well, 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?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich, you 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.
00:32:27They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
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.
00:32:56How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:18Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:25Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temp time.
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.
00:33:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:33:46I don't know.
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.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:44Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:47I 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?
00:35:19James?
00:35:20Is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:22Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:39Come on, Alice.
00:35:41You'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 the weird one.
00:36:06Rooks.
00:36:08Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:12Diagonally.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:31The text.
00:36:33Are you okay?
00:36:35Are you hurt?
00:36:36I...
00:36:37I'm okay.
00:36:38I...
00:36:38I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:40I didn't see the message.
00:36:42Serena took my phone.
00:36:43I didn't know.
00:36:44I'm sorry.
00:36:45I'm...
00:36:46Okay.
00:36:48You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:49You're freezing.
00:36:50You didn't have to come.
00:36:54Don't tell me...
00:36:55What I have to do.
00:36:56Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:03Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:38I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:41What?
00:37:41Kissing.
00:37:42Hiding feelings.
00:37:43What?
00:38:05Dump those Ewok pajamas.
00:38:06Oh, you wish.
00:38:10Seriously.
00:38:11It's a cock block.
00:38:13You kissed me.
00:38:16That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:23Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:25I might hold you to that.
00:38:37You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:40The list is on the board.
00:38:43One, two, three, four.
00:38:48Are you okay?
00:38:49Fly me to outer space.
00:38:53That's where I'll see your face.
00:38:58And have you with me.
00:39:04It may seem dark.
00:39:08But you always light my spark.
00:39:13In my heart.
00:39:18Since the spark.
00:39:19You're welcome.
00:39:23They're either enemies we secretly married.
00:39:27Honestly.
00:39:28Right.
00:39:31I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:38They all just let me down.
00:39:40But baby, you saved me.
00:39:42Time been new.
00:39:45Everything's so different now.
00:39:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:53Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:55Because it's weird.
00:39:56And I like weird.
00:40:06Check.
00:40:12You're cheating.
00:40:14I'm winning.
00:40:15There's a difference.
00:40:16You are very distracting.
00:40:18And you like it.
00:40:20I will be there for you, babe.
00:40:23I'll be there for your darkest days.
00:40:28I'll hold you in my arms.
00:40:30Charles.
00:40:32We need to talk.
00:40:41I expected poor judgment.
00:40:43But this in my house?
00:40:45It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:47No.
00:40:48Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:51Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:53We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:56Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:00She isn't just...
00:41:01You have no right to barge in.
00:41:04On my property.
00:41:08I care about her.
00:41:09I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:11That's enough.
00:41:14Why do you care?
00:41:15We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:18And our name.
00:41:20You think this protects me?
00:41:22We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:32You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:34For a girl you barely know.
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:39Then are you sure she's ready?
00:41:49I'm asking you.
00:41:51Do you think she's ready?
00:41:52To lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:41:57What are you talking about?
00:41:59You left us no choice, son.
00:42:00You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:05Pelton.
00:42:06It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:08Ah.
00:42:09Mr. Kenwood, how can I help?
00:42:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:42:19a review?
00:42:20Yes, sir.
00:42:24Sir.
00:42:25Answer me again.
00:42:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:42Charles, what happened?
00:42:44Did your parents say something?
00:42:45Are they mad?
00:42:45Is everything okay?
00:42:47Pack your things.
00:42:50You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:52What?
00:42:54My parents fired your mother.
00:42:56She's leaving.
00:42:57So are you.
00:42:58Wait, what?
00:42:59Why?
00:43:00Is it because of us?
00:43:01We can fix this.
00:43:02I'll get a job.
00:43:03Stop it.
00:43:04You don't get it.
00:43:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:09Okay?
00:43:10No card.
00:43:11No trust.
00:43:12No support.
00:43:14Nothing.
00:43:14Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:17We don't need all that.
00:43:19We can...
00:43:19Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:25So that's what this was?
00:43:27Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:31What did they promise you?
00:43:35Nothing.
00:43:38They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:44Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:46You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:50What did they threaten you with?
00:43:57What did they threaten you with?
00:43:59This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:01What?
00:44:02You think you know me.
00:44:04Or what I have.
00:44:06You don't, Alice.
00:44:08You're still lying.
00:44:09I'm not, Alice.
00:44:11Look around you.
00:44:12This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:14It's my house.
00:44:17My world.
00:44:19I was bored into this.
00:44:21I am not choosing between this
00:44:23and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:31Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:33You don't mean it.
00:44:34It was fun.
00:44:35But you?
00:44:38You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:42I'll survive the loss.
00:44:45Right.
00:44:48I should have known.
00:44:51Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:56You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:00Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:12This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:45:18In so deep, I can barely see myself.
00:45:25Yeah, around me feels so heavy, but depleted.
00:45:31But I find this the place to test myself.
00:45:43Oops.
00:45:45Oops.
00:45:47Oops.
00:45:50Oops.
00:45:50Oops.
00:45:50Oops.
00:45:51Oops.
00:46:01Oh, sorry.
00:46:02Didn't see that.
00:46:04Then again, nobody does.
00:46:06Move, please.
00:46:08Hmm.
00:46:09Try begging.
00:46:15You know what?
00:46:16Keep it.
00:46:18Keep it.
00:46:19Keep it.
00:46:21Keep it.
00:46:22Poor thing.
00:46:23So dramatic.
00:46:25Don't.
00:46:27Excuse me.
00:46:28I warned you.
00:46:30Walk away, Serena.
00:46:52Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:56But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:46:59Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:47:02Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:05She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:47:07Better have it.
00:47:08I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait, but I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:15Can hang around with me.
00:47:15Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet, like logic and chaos,
00:47:22or silence and noise.
00:47:25Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:29At first glance, they clash.
00:47:32But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:35Confusion.
00:47:36Curiosity.
00:47:38But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:41And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:54And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:58Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:03Miss Keaton.
00:48:05Dramatic as always.
00:48:07All right.
00:48:08Thank you, Alice.
00:48:09That was...
00:48:10Lated.
00:48:13Are you okay?
00:48:13No wonder.
00:48:14That good literature always stirs something.
00:48:21Hello?
00:48:22Hi, this is Alice Keaton.
00:48:23This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:24We've been following your work.
00:48:25We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:28Name your price.
00:48:29We'll make it work.
00:48:30Sorry, what?
00:48:41That's...
00:48:42Kind of insane.
00:48:44Who's behind this?
00:48:45Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:48Can...
00:48:49Can I meet them?
00:48:51I want to.
00:48:53Please.
00:48:54Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:00Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:49:02So they're only interested in work, not the person.
00:49:04I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:05I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:49:06They were very good.
00:49:07I think the most generous one we've ever given a video.
00:49:11I see.
00:49:12Congratulations again.
00:49:18You got the interview.
00:49:19It's just an interview.
00:49:20I haven't gotten in yet.
00:49:21Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:24That's iconic.
00:49:25For your love, I'll be...
00:49:28You got the interview.
00:49:33You got the interview.
00:49:34It's just an interview.
00:49:35I haven't gotten in yet.
00:49:37Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:51It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:52Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:55Good.
00:49:56It's a generous deal.
00:49:58You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:00No.
00:50:02No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:05I would be funny one day.
00:50:09I'd be there in your darkened space.
00:50:14Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:16Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:24Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:30And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:35It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:40I've lost my appetite.
00:50:45I'll go check on him.
00:50:51What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:57Disengagement...
00:50:58It's not happening.
00:51:00It's not up to you.
00:51:00You know that.
00:51:01Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:05You've changed.
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:23I'm pretending.
