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, you're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's a boss.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe in 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!
00:00:40We 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?
00:01:21She 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.
00:01:43I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:52Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World of war.
00:01:56I'm stuck in space.
00:01:58Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:02:03Heaven in my dead now.
00:02:04World of war.
00:02:05Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:21Ah, there's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:25Charles' case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, why is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:36I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But, 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?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you. She was top of her class at a
00:03:08previous school
00:03:10With all due respect sir, her previous school was American. I
00:03:15Highly doubt that
00:03:18That's enough
00:03:20She can sit here. It's fine
00:03:24Back to Goldie. Thank you. You got it. I'm Sherry Vaughn. Alice Keaton. It's very important
00:03:33What he's talking about their experience of the time
00:03:39Wait, you sat next to Charles? She didn't. You totally shut her down. Oh knew it. Don't take it past
00:03:46me. He's impossible
00:03:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants? What? He's hot. Everyone kind of is
00:03:56I've seen Connor. He's not my type. You're joking. I don't find bullies attractive. Hey
00:04:03Be careful. We're talking about the king of Asheville
00:04:06The what? His family basically own the school and the town maybe even the country. Yeah
00:04:13Everyone's tried to get close. No one can get past his ego. You're not the first to get ice. Okay.
00:04:18First of all
00:04:19I wasn't iced. It's more like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant
00:04:25Cold thinks he's untouchable
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated like he's faking out
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic
00:04:40What? No, go on
00:04:48You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:04:55Next time read the room before opening your mouth American
00:05:03We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice
00:05:21Hey, how was your first day? I
00:05:24Good I've excited Kevin not really super uneventful
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How's your new job? Yeah, all right get this is that we can stay in the servants wing
00:05:36Seriously mmm apparently the young master won't mind the company the young master
00:05:44This is your boss's house. Yeah, that's not credible. I mean, I wouldn't call it a house. It's
00:05:52A museum with better landscaping
00:05:59Wait here. I'll talk to the butler
00:06:06Wow rich people you've topped yourselves again
00:06:13Stephen King
00:06:16First edition
00:06:26I'm breaking and entering now
00:06:27How American of you
00:06:30How American of you
00:06:40You've been paying rent
00:06:42Here in my head
00:06:44To fight it hard
00:06:51You can get up now
00:06:53I am trying
00:06:55Wait
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying
00:07:02What is wrong with you?
00:07:04Funny I was about to ask you the same thing
00:07:07What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You
00:07:11Wait
00:07:13Your house
00:07:14My house my library and now apparently my unwanted guest
00:07:22Ah Master Charles
00:07:23Ah Master Charles
00:07:23You must be Miss Alice
00:07:25Anne's daughter
00:07:25She said you'd be moving in today
00:07:27She what?
00:07:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding
00:07:31You see, I'm not actually moving in
00:07:33Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah, I'm not staying here like 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 absolutely not
00:07:48Come on Alice
00:07:51You must stay
00:07:53It'll be fun
00:07:57My dear classmate
00:08:01I'm dead
00:08:01Like mentally
00:08:03Socially
00:08:04And actually dead
00:08:12Just trying to figure out
00:08:13How exactly my life went off the rails
00:08:17Get it together Alice Keaton
00:08:18You've been through hell
00:08:23Actually no
00:08:25This is hell
00:08:30Good morning
00:08:39Good morning
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know
00:08:50That's what's been closed for months
00:08:52She's going to be late
00:08:59Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school
00:09:07Okay, if I sprint
00:09:09Maybe I'll make it before first period
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:09:20What...
00:09:21What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait
00:09:27Did you come back for...
00:09:29Me?
00:09:30Relax
00:09:32I forgot my textbook
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself
00:09:35Wait
00:09:39Since you're already here
00:09:41Maybe you could be a decent person
00:09:43And give me a ride?
00:09:47No
00:09:48Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge
00:09:52Yeah
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!
00:10:04Help me walk in sunlight
00:10:13Ashford Institute, please
00:10:15Thank you
00:10:19Who needs 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?
00:10:33Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy
00:10:36She's new
00:10:37Everybody's already talking
00:10:39So you're worried about her?
00:10:40Sir
00:10:40You're overthinking
00:10:41I just don't like drama
00:10:43I just don't like drama
00:10:50Asshole
00:10:50Who?
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, I insist
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding, sir
00:11:17On the contrary
00:11:18I think his ending is
00:11:21Weak
00:11:23Wait, wait
00:11:23You wish he read it?
00:11:25Quiet
00:11:28That'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 the collapse of all morality
00:11:42Let them choose survival
00:11:45Or death
00:11:46But instead, he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48Slaps 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
00:12:02I'm always a model student, sir
00:12:04Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:09So, a critique of Golding's mercy
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:28I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32It's not mercy, it's irony
00:12:34How 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
00:12:44Golding didn't save them, he 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?
00:12:53In some ways, but not harsh enough
00:12:56Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them
00:13:02And the civilized world? Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:15Thank you, Miss Keaton
00:13:18Well said
00:13:18Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid
00:13:24Okay, that's kind of epic
00:13:26And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29Good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:38What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new, and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:49A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's 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, that is not what happened
00:14:16Doesn't matter, people believe what they want to believe
00:14:19And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable
00:14:23Wow
00:14:24Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both
00:14:29But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat
00:14:41Okay, loaded
00:14:43Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:15:01Hello?
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:10Okay, ma'am
00:15:22Fine
00:15:37Seriously?
00:15:38Honestly?
00:15:41Shit.
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:15:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off.
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:08Oh shit.
00:16:14Alice! Alice!
00:16:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:16:18I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:16:21She hasn't come home.
00:16:22I'll have a sent over.
00:16:24Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:43Come on, Alice.
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:48It's fine.
00:16:50You're fine.
00:16:51No?
00:16:51No?
00:16:56No?
00:17:14Hey, Mr. nonchalant.
00:17:19Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:32Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we would pray
00:17:40You're welcome
00:17:42I didn't say thank you
00:17:43I figured saving your life might turn 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
00:17:57Into 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, I can handle it
00:18:21You shouldn't have to
00:18:25I'm
00:18:27Sorry
00:18:34Sorry
00:18:39Did you just
00:18:41Apologize 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?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah, I just
00:18:58Took a weird shower
00:18:59Top exploded
00:19:02Come on
00:19:03Let's go you home
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:19:43I know how this place works
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it
00:19:47It's only going to get worse
00:19:49I'll look into it
00:19:52Charles
00:19:54Good on you
00:19:56How many of you 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?
00:20:07Busy 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
00:20:41And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:45Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:51But sometimes, being here means standing behind
00:20:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford
00:21:01Have fun
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:21:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:21:12Which translates to
00:21:14Mom's salary for half a year
00:21:16So, yeah
00:21:17I 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, this 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
00:21:55Just don't, look
00:21:56Go away
00:21:57Part not to
00:21:58When you're walking around dressed like that
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:02Um, buzzkill?
00:22:05Cockblock
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?
00:22:21How would I go?
00:22:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:22:26Florence
00:22:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian
00:22:32Or Tiziana
00:22:33If you want to sound extra pretentious
00:22:36Then Venice
00:22:37Because everybody loves a good canal
00:22:39And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:22:42Next stop
00:22:43Napoli
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing
00:22:48The final stop
00:22:49Paris
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance
00:22:54And naturally
00:22:55Woody Allen's favourite city
00:22:58Outside of New York
00:23:01That's word for word
00:23:03I told you
00:23:04I've done this tour so many times
00:23:06I could run it
00:23:07Okay, but still
00:23:08It's Europe
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:23:13Twice
00:23:16Also, I hate the accommodations
00:23:17Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels
00:23:22No, thank you
00:23:25Wow
00:23:25Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:23:27That'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
00:23:44Come back with normal clothes on
00:23:46You don't have to come
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do
00:23:58Master Charles
00:23:58Roads are flooded
00:23:59Staff won't make it tonight
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:06I've got it sorted
00:24:19Jesus, 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
00:24:44Wow
00:24:45I am deeply offended
00:24:48That 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
00:24:59I'd spend a hundred pounds on
00:25:00No, I'm
00:25:03Wait
00:25:04You think I'm not worth
00:25:06One hundred pounds?
00:25:08I'm not spending
00:25:09One hundred pounds
00:25:10To snort you back up
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you
00:25:20Meatball spaghetti
00:25:22Stir fried veggies
00:25:23And french fries
00:25:24You're welcome
00:25:25Interesting combo
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy
00:25:28Or France
00:25:29But this will do
00:25:30It's
00:25:32Good
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:40Although
00:25:42I am obliged to inform you
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti
00:25:45Isn't Italian
00:25:46It's American
00:25:47And french fries
00:25:48Likely 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
00:25:57Every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair
00:26:00You make it very easy
00:26:02It's only easy
00:26:03Because it costs you
00:26:04A hundred pounds
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more
00:26:07I probably would have given it to you
00:26:08I'll make sure
00:26:08I'll make sure
00:26:23Hey Alice
00:26:24It's fine
00:26:25You're fine
00:26:349-1-1 what's for your emergency
00:26:409-1-1 what's for your emergency
00:26:429-1-1 what's for 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 stands
00:26:46Traffic shut down
00:26:48Get to you as soon as we can
00:26:49Don't praise
00:26:50He's not well
00:26:50I understand
00:26:51Can you confirm your address?
00:26:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57I, my daughter.
00:27:01Please stay with me, Dad, please.
00:27:08No, please wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please, please don't leave me.
00:27:25Dad, please, don't leave me.
00:27:58Dad, please, don't leave me.
00:28:00It's kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right. Sorry for the night.
00:28:05Wait, no snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:24Dad 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, peaceful, like 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.
00:29:22Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:27Wow, rich 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,
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters,
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes,
00:29:45all yours.
00:29:49This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:58Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:02Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay, then.
00:30:06I have one request.
00:30:12What 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,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It'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.
00:30:48Does the night go diagonally?
00:30:50The 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.
00:31:03No.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:10You literally haven't won me in 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 that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Had to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29All yourself weapons and nothing on.
00:31:33Oh, you're showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um, who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:06Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:08When 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, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:23They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
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 didn't hear you, you know.
00:32:51Oh, an American.
00:32:54How 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.
00:33:24Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena, can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she like the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:14Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:40Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:57Hello.
00:34:58Is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously.
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:19James?
00:35:20Is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:39Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:51Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's a weird one.
00:36:08Rooks move in straight lines.
00:36:11Do ships.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:16Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:41I...
00:36:41I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:43I...
00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I...
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 what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:25I see the smile.
00:37:31I see the smile.
00:37:41You're really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46What?
00:37:47Do you want to dance to the rhythm of your hope?
00:37:50This is not forgiving.
00:37:53I'm flying in the eye of the...
00:37:54Tell me what you said.
00:37:56Tell me where you wanna go.
00:37:58Get me out of the way.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:19That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:57That's where I'll see your...
00:39:00I'll see your face and have you with me.
00:39:07It may seem dark, but you always like my spark.
00:39:21You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies and we're secretly married.
00:39:29Honestly?
00:39:31Right?
00:39:34I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:45Till I'm brand new.
00:39:48Everything's so different now.
00:39:51So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:56Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:39:59Weird.
00:39:59And I like weird.
00:40:03And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:15You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:21And you like it.
00:40:23I will be there for you, babe.
00:40:26Hmm?
00:40:27I'll be there in the dark and stress.
00:40:30Hmm?
00:40:31Hold you in my arms.
00:40:33Charles!
00:40:34We need to talk.
00:40:44I expected poor judgement, but this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51Kissing the servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:07On my property.
00:41:10I care about her.
00:41:12I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:14That's enough!
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything?
00:41:37For a girl you barely know?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:43Then...
00:41:43Are you sure...
00:41:45She's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you.
00:41:54Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:10Yes, sir.
00:42:21Yes, sir.
00:42:26Yes, sir.
00:42:28Yes, sir.
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.
00:42:59She's leaving.
00:43:00So are you.
00:43:01Wait.
00:43:01What?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job, anything...
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:06You don't get it.
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:12No card.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:16Nothing.
00:43:18Then...
00:43:19Then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:21We can...
00:43:22Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:49You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me.
00:44:07Or what I have.
00:44:08You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this...
00:44:28...and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37Well, it was fine.
00:44:39But with you...
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:44I'll survive the loss.
00:44:48Right.
00:44:49I just...
00:44:51I should have known.
00:44:54Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:59You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:15Hey!
00:45:16This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:45:21In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:28Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:45:34But I find that's the place to test myself
00:45:46Oops
00:46:03Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:46:06Then again, nobody does
00:46:09Move please
00:46:10Try begging
00:46:18You know what, keep it
00:46:25Poor thing, so dramatic
00:46:29Don't
00:46:30Excuse me
00:46:31I warned you
00:46:33Walk away, Serena
00:46:54Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:58But one pair surprised me, in a good way
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:10Better have it
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos, or silence and noise
00:47:27Different worlds, different rules
00:47:32At first glance, they clash
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:47:39Confusion
00:47:39Curiosity
00:47:41But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:56And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton
00:48:08Dramatic as always
00:48:09Alright, thank you Alice
00:48:11That was
00:48:13Laid
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:23Hello?
00:48:25Hi, this is Alice Keaton
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press
00:48:27We've been following your work
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract
00:48:30Name your price
00:48:31We'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's
00:48:44Kind of
00:48:45Insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:50Can
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to
00:48:56Please
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
00:49:08I'm sorry for to meet them
00:49:09They were very good
00:49:10I think it's the most generous offer we've ever given in this year
00:49:13I see
00:49:15Congratulations again
00:49:21You 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
00:49:40I'm so excited
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:49:58Good
00:49:59It's a generous deal
00:50:00You 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 will be fine
00:50:12I'll be there in your darkest days
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to
00:50:27Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:50:32And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:50:38It's all coming together
00:50:40Beautifully
00:50:43I've lost my appetite
00:50:48I'll go check on him
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00This engagement
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
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:51:41Charles
00:51:42You're the sponsor. You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:50So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:57You loved her.
00:51:59Still do.
00:52:02Let it go, Serena.
00:52:05There's no point.
00:52:15I need a favour. Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:52:20And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:27Anything? No?
00:52:30She's not answering. The interview's almost over.
00:52:33Well, she won't just not show up. Something's wrong.
00:52:37Where's Alice? When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night, she said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:47James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay? We won't hurt you.
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview, that's it.
00:53:11Oh!
00:53:13Shit! Come back!
00:53:24Ah!
00:53:26Ah!
00:53:29Ah!
00:53:32Ah!
00:53:44I remember how I met
00:53:48Didn't need a second guess
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:57Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:07You're awake
00:54:09Where, where am I?
00:54:11A local clinic
00:54:12Passerby 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
00:54:29And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:54:34Wait, what, who?
00:54:36No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:41What did you say?
00:54:43Nothing
00:54:44I just
00:54:46Had a dream
00:54:58I got him!
00:54:59Oh, I knew it
00:55:05Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:07He's not here
00:55:10Oh, you didn't know
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:14He left
00:55:14A few days ago, yeah
00:55:16Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly, Asher's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:37Chaotic
00:55:37Unexpected
00:55:41And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:45It ended quietly
00:55:48Like summers always do
00:56:02And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice 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?
00:56:25No comment
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:29Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess
00:56:33A bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36All right, all right
00:56:37No matter what you say
00:56:39You write love
00:56:40Like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once
00:56:45I did
00:56:46With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:48And 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
00:57:13That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration
00:57:15Press
00:57:16Photos
00:57:17Maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually
00:57:19There's something I'd rather do
00:57:22I'd like to meet with the person who
00:57:24Believed in me first
00:57:27My sponsor
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:29Just once
00:57:31Tonight
00:57:327pm
00:57:43Good evening
00:57:49Good evening
00:57:52May I sit?
00:57:57Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:03Hi
00:58:04Hi
00:58:07You look well
00:58:11And 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
00:58:21Hoping
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
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:40You're rich enough not to do so
00:58:44Always
00:58:46Either way
00:58:47Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:50No
00:58:51You've
00:58:52You earned everything
00:58:56Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:59:00Every reader
00:59:02That's what I came to say
00:59:07It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:10Charles
00:59:12Can you just
00:59:14Wait a little longer
00:59:22I think I knew it was you
00:59:25There was one email
00:59:28You said something
00:59:30It felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that
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
01:00:01Maybe 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
01:00:25What 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
01:00:51Would you do anything differently
01:00:57No
01:01:02No
01:01:07I see
01:01:11I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power
01:01:14Back 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
01:01:29Without 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
01:02:51To come into your hotel
01:02:53At approximately 11pm
01:02:57You were right
01:02:58You never were that smart
01:03:01You don't have to come
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:03:05It's almost like you say
01:03:08Best things better go
01:03:18Stop 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
01:03:49Then shut up
01:03:51And 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
01:04:09It's more than a night to night
01:04:13Oh
01:04:15Oh
01:04:15Oh
01:04:15Oh
01:04:16Oh
01:04:16Oh
01:04:16Oh
01:04:16Oh
01:04:17Oh
01:04:20Let it be
01:04:31I vow to always tell you the truth
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:39Respectfully
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:44Loudly
01:04:46Quietly
01:04:47Always
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:53Is he actually good at this
01:04:55I mean
01:04:56You did beat her at song
01:04:57I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:03Especially over Shakespeare
01:05:06I vow to write you in your every story
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't
01:05:11You will always be a 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
01:05:18For the rest of life
01:05:23For the rest of life
01:05:36I 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
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:07No
01:06:08No
01:06:09No
01:06:09No
01:06:09No
01:06:10No
01:06:10That 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
01:06:33There is a promise
01:06:35I never have to do
01:06:35But in 둘
01:06:36And I was not parties
01:06:37I just thought of
01:06:42I need to let the righteous
01:06:43You are not doing what she is
01:06:45Who isanca
01:06:50I just thought of
01:06:58That is how she is
01:06:58But don't do
01:07:02It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:08Help us develop, learn and grow.
