00:00:02I've always described the world in words, people, moments, places, all through metaphors and margins.
00:00:12You okay?
00:00:13Like my mom, self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:00:18Almost there. You excited for your first day?
00:00:20She calls this a fresh start. I call it terrifying.
00:00:30You've got this. Just be yourself.
00:00:33That's kind of the problem.
00:00:43I'm stuck in space. Start a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:00I want to take you down.
00:01:03Okay.
00:01:05Morning, class.
00:01:08And you're not seated because?
00:01:11I don't have a seat.
00:01:14Ah, a new transfer. Alice Keaton, right?
00:01:18Let's see.
00:01:22There's a spot. Next to Charles.
00:01:24Charles case, sorry.
00:01:26Seriously? A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:01:29Oh, God. Why is she?
00:01:31Quiet.
00:01:33Charles.
00:01:36I've always had words for everything.
00:01:39But in that moment,
00:01:42I forgot them all.
00:01:53Charles, move your things.
00:01:56I'd rather not.
00:01:57She'll be a distraction.
00:01:59From what?
00:02:00Sleeping.
00:02:01From everything.
00:02:02If anything, Charles,
00:02:04Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:02:06She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:02:09With all due respect, sir,
00:02:11her previous school was American.
00:02:14I highly doubt that.
00:02:17That's enough.
00:02:19She can sit here.
00:02:21It's fine.
00:02:24Back to Golding.
00:02:26You got it.
00:02:27I'm Sherry Vaughn.
00:02:28Alice Keaton.
00:02:29It's very important that we look at the author's intentions.
00:02:32What he's talking about,
00:02:34their experience of the time.
00:02:38Wait.
00:02:40You sat next to Charles?
00:02:41She didn't.
00:02:42You totally shut her down.
00:02:43Oh, knew it.
00:02:44Don't take it past me.
00:02:45He's impossible.
00:02:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants?
00:02:50What?
00:02:51He's hot.
00:02:52Everyone kind of is.
00:02:55I...
00:02:56I've seen...
00:02:57Connor.
00:02:57He's not my type.
00:02:59You're joking.
00:03:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:03:02Hey!
00:03:02Be careful.
00:03:03We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:03:06The what?
00:03:07His family basically owned the school.
00:03:09And the town.
00:03:10Maybe even the country.
00:03:11Yeah.
00:03:12Everyone's tried to get close.
00:03:14No one can get past his ego.
00:03:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:03:17Okay.
00:03:18First of all, I wasn't iced.
00:03:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:03:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:03:27But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's fake meal.
00:03:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:03:39What?
00:03:40No, go on.
00:03:47You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:03:54Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:04:02We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:04:20Hey, how was your first day?
00:04:22Uh, good.
00:04:24Nothing exciting happened?
00:04:25Not really.
00:04:26Super uneventful.
00:04:29Really?
00:04:30How's your new job?
00:04:31Yeah, all right.
00:04:33Get this?
00:04:33They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:04:35Seriously?
00:04:36Hmm.
00:04:37Apparently, the young master won't mind the company.
00:04:39The young master.
00:04:43This is your boss's house.
00:04:45Yeah?
00:04:46Isn't it credible?
00:04:47I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:04:49It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:04:57Wait here.
00:04:59I'll talk to the butler.
00:05:05Wow.
00:05:06Rich people.
00:05:07You've topped yourselves again.
00:05:12Stephen King.
00:05:14First edition!
00:05:25Breaking and entering now.
00:05:27How American of you.
00:05:39You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:05:43Time to fight it hard.
00:05:50You can get up now.
00:05:52I...
00:05:52I'm trying.
00:05:54Wait!
00:05:56Are you serious?
00:05:58Well, you said you were trying.
00:06:01What is wrong with you?
00:06:03Funny.
00:06:04I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:06:06What are you doing in my house?
00:06:09You...
00:06:10Wait.
00:06:11Your house?
00:06:13My house.
00:06:14My library.
00:06:15And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:06:20Ah, Master Charles.
00:06:22You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:06:24She said you'd be moving in today.
00:06:26She what?
00:06:27There...
00:06:27There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:06:30You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:06:32Is that so?
00:06:34Yeah.
00:06:34I'm not staying here.
00:06:36Like, at all.
00:06:36That's a shame.
00:06:37You must seem quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:06:39Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:06:42Well, if you're sure, then...
00:06:44Absolutely not.
00:06:46Come on, Alice.
00:06:49You must stay.
00:06:51I'm feeling...
00:06:53It'll be...
00:06:54Fun.
00:06:55My dear...
00:06:57Classmate.
00:06:59I'm dead.
00:07:00Like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:07:10Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:07:14Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:07:17You've been through hell.
00:07:18I was sure I'd never found someone who made my head spin around.
00:07:21Actually, no.
00:07:23No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:07:24They all just let me go.
00:07:24This is hell.
00:07:26Baby, you saved me.
00:07:28Hi.
00:07:28Good morning.
00:07:36Wow.
00:07:44Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:47One thing doesn't know.
00:07:48That's often closed for months.
00:07:50She's going to be late.
00:07:56Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:07:59Maybe I'll just walk?
00:08:02Five miles to school.
00:08:05Okay, if I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:08:09Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:08:14Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:08:18What are you doing here?
00:08:20Didn't you already leave?
00:08:23Wait, did you come back for me?
00:08:28Relax.
00:08:30I forgot my textbook.
00:08:31Don't flatter yourself.
00:08:33Wait.
00:08:36Since you're already here,
00:08:38maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:44No.
00:08:46Seriously?
00:08:47Your car is huge.
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:51And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:08:53Says the guy who forced me to live in this house.
00:09:01Unbelievable.
00:09:10Ashford Institute, please.
00:09:17Who needs an entitled brat anyway?
00:09:20Sir, you called the cab.
00:09:21Why don't I just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:28Why don't I just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:30And have the whole school go crazy.
00:09:33She's new.
00:09:34Everybody's already talking.
00:09:36So you're worried about her?
00:09:37You're overthinking.
00:09:38And I just don't like drama.
00:09:47Asshole.
00:09:48Hey.
00:09:50Morning, Klaus.
00:09:52Back to Golding.
00:09:54Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:01Mr. Kenwood.
00:10:03Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:05Not particularly.
00:10:07Oh.
00:10:07I insist.
00:10:08You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:11I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:10:14On the contrary.
00:10:15I think his ending is...
00:10:18weak.
00:10:20Wait, wait.
00:10:21Do I actually read it?
00:10:22Quiet.
00:10:24That's an interesting take.
00:10:26Explain.
00:10:29He had the set up for something brutal.
00:10:31Something honest.
00:10:33But in the end, he backed out.
00:10:35He could have left the boys on the island.
00:10:37Forced them to confront the collapse of all morality.
00:10:40Let them choose survival.
00:10:41Or death.
00:10:43But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:10:46Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:10:52It's a waste.
00:10:54Don't you think?
00:10:55I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:10:57Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:11:00I'm always a model student, sir.
00:11:02Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:11:05So.
00:11:06A critique of Golding's mercy.
00:11:09Anyone disagree?
00:11:25I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:11:29It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:11:31How so?
00:11:35The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:11:37You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:11:41Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:45That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:11:47You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:49In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:11:53Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:11:59And the civilized world?
00:12:01Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:12:04So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:12Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:12:14Well said.
00:12:16Anyone else?
00:12:19Both opinions are valid.
00:12:21Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:12:23And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:26Good literature will always divide opinion.
00:12:32What's happening to me?
00:12:39Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:42Well, you're new.
00:12:44And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:12:46A what now?
00:12:47You two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's teen in years.
00:12:51We're not even fighting.
00:12:53Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected.
00:12:57Begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:13:01And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:13:08You were there, Sherry. That is not what happened.
00:13:12Doesn't matter.
00:13:14People believe what they want to believe.
00:13:16And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:13:19Wow.
00:13:20Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:24Honestly, both.
00:13:26But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Noted.
00:13:40Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:13:57Hello?
00:14:00Hello?
00:14:01Is somebody out there?
00:14:05Oh, come on!
00:14:18Fine.
00:14:34What the hell?
00:14:37Oh, shit.
00:14:43What the hell?
00:14:45Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:14:48She hasn't come home.
00:14:49Her phone is off.
00:14:50Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:54Yikes.
00:14:55Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:04Shit.
00:15:09Alice?
00:15:10Alice?
00:15:11Mr Pelton.
00:15:12Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:13I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:16She hasn't come home.
00:15:17I'll have it sent over.
00:15:20Check the common room in the library.
00:15:21I'll take the rest.
00:15:25Alice!
00:15:39Come on, Alice.
00:15:41Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:43It's fine.
00:15:45You're fine.
00:16:09Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:16:14Are you happy with how we end?
00:16:19What are you doing here?
00:16:23Can you get off me first?
00:16:25Oh, so certain.
00:16:27Did I ask her to mind?
00:16:32Is it my fault?
00:16:33I thought we would lose.
00:16:35You're welcome.
00:16:37I didn't say thank you.
00:16:39I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:41Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:44Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:46You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:48Wow.
00:16:50You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:54I wouldn't recommend it.
00:16:55You're heavier than you look.
00:16:58I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:05Are you okay?
00:17:07No.
00:17:08But I will be.
00:17:10Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:12What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:15Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:16You shouldn't have to.
00:17:20I'm...
00:17:21Sorry.
00:17:28Sorry.
00:17:33Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:36Don't get used to it.
00:17:37I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:41Alice?
00:17:42Over here.
00:17:44Oh my god.
00:17:46You okay?
00:17:49Why are you drenched?
00:17:50Yeah, I just...
00:17:52Took a weird shower.
00:17:54Top exploded.
00:17:57Come on.
00:17:57Stay home.
00:18:08Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:11I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:37I know how this place works.
00:18:38If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:43I'll look into it.
00:18:46Charles?
00:18:48Good on you.
00:18:50How many here would speak up?
00:18:55I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:18:58That's insane.
00:18:59Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:01Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:04Well, for what it's worth,
00:19:06I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:10Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:29Being a scholarship student has its perks,
00:19:32like saving a fortune on tuition
00:19:34and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:39Hey!
00:19:40We miss you in Paris!
00:19:42Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:45But sometimes,
00:19:46being here means staying behind.
00:19:48And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:19:52you can never afford.
00:19:55Have fun.
00:19:57Bring me something overpriced
00:20:00and unnecessary.
00:20:04The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:20:06which translates to
00:20:07mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:09So, yeah,
00:20:11I didn't go.
00:20:33Uh, what are you doing here?
00:20:34Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:36Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:38It's comfortable.
00:20:39You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:41This,
00:20:42this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:43And this is not even your house.
00:20:45And yet,
00:20:45you're here,
00:20:46dressed like this.
00:20:48Just don't look,
00:20:49go away.
00:20:50Hard not to,
00:20:51when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:20:53What do you guys call it?
00:20:55Um,
00:20:56buzzkill?
00:20:57Cockblock.
00:20:59You're insufferable.
00:21:00You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:02You know what?
00:21:03I don't get it.
00:21:04Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:05I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:07Why do you think?
00:21:13Why would I go?
00:21:15I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:19Florence,
00:21:20walk in the great footsteps of Dante,
00:21:22Michelangelo,
00:21:23da Vinci,
00:21:24and Titian,
00:21:25or Titiano,
00:21:26if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:29Then Venice,
00:21:30because everybody loves a good canal,
00:21:31and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:34Next stop,
00:21:35Napoli,
00:21:36marvel at Pompeii,
00:21:38pretend you're shocked,
00:21:39ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:41The final stop,
00:21:42Harry,
00:21:44the ultimate city of romance.
00:21:46And, naturally,
00:21:48Woody Allen's favourite city,
00:21:50outside of New York.
00:21:54That's word for word.
00:21:56I told you,
00:21:57I've done this tour so many times,
00:21:59I could run it.
00:22:00Okay, but still,
00:22:01it's Europe.
00:22:02Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:03Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:06Twice.
00:22:08Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:10Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:12Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:15No, thank you.
00:22:17Wow.
00:22:18Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:20Well, that's unfortunate.
00:22:20It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:23One word of advice?
00:22:24Shut up.
00:22:24Two words.
00:22:27You're weird.
00:22:28You're loud.
00:22:29You're annoying.
00:22:30You're in my kitchen.
00:22:31You have three other kitchens.
00:22:32And I prefer this one.
00:22:34Just for today.
00:22:35Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:37Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:38You don't have to come.
00:22:39Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:49Master Charles,
00:22:50roads are flooded.
00:22:51Staff won't make it tonight.
00:22:52Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:22:57I've got it sorted.
00:23:10Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:12Relax.
00:23:15I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:16What deal?
00:23:17You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:22You'll survive.
00:23:24I'm not selling my body.
00:23:30I'm not selling my body.
00:23:35Wow.
00:23:37I am deeply offended.
00:23:40That thought disgusts me.
00:23:42Then what are you doing?
00:23:43The staff's off tonight.
00:23:44I'm buying dinner.
00:23:48Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:23:51No, I...
00:23:52Jesus.
00:23:54Wait.
00:23:55You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:23:59I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:02You know what?
00:24:03Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:06Are you sure about that?
00:24:10I present to you.
00:24:11Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:15You're welcome.
00:24:16Interesting combo.
00:24:18Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:22It's...
00:24:23good.
00:24:29Was that a compliment?
00:24:31Although...
00:24:32I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:34Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:36It's American.
00:24:38And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:41You should read more.
00:24:43Put it down.
00:24:45I paid for it.
00:24:46You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:49To be fair,
00:24:50you make it very easy.
00:24:53It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:24:56You know, if you'd asked for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:24:58Make sure the next time.
00:25:14Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:17You're fine.
00:25:24911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:30911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:32It's my dad.
00:25:33He needs help.
00:25:34He just had a stroke.
00:25:35Okay, miss.
00:25:36Hurricane's caused by traffic shutdown.
00:25:37We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:39Please, he's not well.
00:25:40I understand.
00:25:41Can you confirm your address?
00:25:45Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:46All right.
00:25:49My daughter.
00:25:50Please stay with me, Dad.
00:25:52Please.
00:25:56No.
00:25:59Please wake up.
00:26:04Dad, please.
00:26:05Please don't leave me.
00:26:08Please.
00:26:14Please.
00:26:38You, what are you doing here?
00:26:44You were crying.
00:26:47Loudly.
00:26:49Kind of hard to ignore.
00:26:51Right.
00:26:52Sorry for the noise.
00:26:54Wait.
00:26:55No snarky comeback?
00:26:57Not tonight.
00:26:58I'm too tired.
00:26:59If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:03You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:07Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:09Power went down.
00:27:10Traffic froze.
00:27:13Dad had a stroke.
00:27:15We couldn't get help in time.
00:27:18I sat there with a candle while he laid there, peaceful, like he was asleep.
00:27:29But he wasn't.
00:27:34So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:37This used to be our hometown.
00:27:40After Dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:54Come on.
00:28:10Wait.
00:28:11I thought the power was out.
00:28:13It is.
00:28:14We have our own generator.
00:28:16Wow.
00:28:17Rich people houses her.
00:28:19Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:23Allow what?
00:28:24You can call this place your house.
00:28:26So enjoy it.
00:28:28Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:29Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:32Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:33All yours.
00:28:38This is your home.
00:28:41Alice Keaton.
00:28:47Alice Keaton.
00:28:49Almost sounded sweet.
00:28:51Don't push it.
00:28:52Okay, then.
00:28:55C'est just for kiss.
00:28:56I have...
00:28:56I have...one request.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:08Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:10Wait. Give me a second. I'm thinking.
00:29:13You had one wish. Anything in the world.
00:29:17And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:29:24Yeah. Got a problem?
00:29:25It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:30It's literally a board game.
00:29:32Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:34Wait. Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:38The tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:29:41One, two, then turn.
00:29:45There.
00:29:47Happy?
00:29:48Ecstatic.
00:29:51No. That's suicide.
00:29:53Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:29:55You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:29:57Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:29:58You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:00Golding disagrees.
00:30:02It's going to be a long night.
00:30:04Oh my, no.
00:30:05Why? What's wrong with that?
00:30:06You can't do that.
00:30:08Can I do that?
00:30:08Why can I not do that?
00:30:10Bye, Mary.
00:30:10You had your shot for tripping about it all wrong.
00:30:13Glad to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:17All your sound work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:21Well you're showing up at my door.
00:30:26Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:30Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:40Um, who are you?
00:30:46What are you doing here?
00:30:47Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:30:50Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:30:52Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:30:54When did you get back?
00:30:56Last night.
00:30:57From Zurich.
00:30:58You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:01I missed you.
00:31:03Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:05Apparently I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:08Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:10They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:11I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:14They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:17You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:21Engagement?
00:31:22Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:25He's promised.
00:31:27Old money stuff.
00:31:28Very retro.
00:31:29I didn't agree to that.
00:31:30You didn't have to.
00:31:31It's never up to us.
00:31:34Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:37Serena?
00:31:37I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:39Oh, an American.
00:31:42How refreshing.
00:31:47Goodbye.
00:31:48Wait.
00:32:04Where are you going?
00:32:05You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:07You only paid for dinner.
00:32:09I have homework.
00:32:11Goodbye.
00:32:14Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:16Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:18What?
00:32:19Teasing the hell?
00:32:26That's her.
00:32:27That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:30Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:47Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:32:50They're saying you live with Charles.
00:32:52Oh, and Serena.
00:32:54What about her?
00:32:55Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:32:59Of course she did.
00:33:12Careful, Alice.
00:33:13You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:26Can you help me about my accident?
00:33:28I know it's 1066.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30Come to the music room.
00:33:31Urgent.
00:33:32I just remembered, I need to check something.
00:33:35You guys go ahead.
00:33:36Yeah, okay.
00:33:42Help!
00:33:44Is someone there?
00:33:45Seriously!
00:33:46This is getting old!
00:33:59Wait.
00:34:01Music room?
00:34:02What?
00:34:04James?
00:34:05Was anybody in here in the room?
00:34:06I don't know.
00:34:07Just Miss Serena.
00:34:08Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:11Sir?
00:34:13Sir, it's raining!
00:34:24Come on, Alice.
00:34:26You're fine.
00:34:28Well, not that girl again.
00:34:35Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:39Okay.
00:34:40Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:42Yeah.
00:34:43Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:45And knights...
00:34:45The knight's the weird one.
00:34:52Rooks.
00:34:54Straight lines.
00:34:56Bishops.
00:34:58Diagonally.
00:34:59Hello?
00:35:14Feel my soul...
00:35:19The text...
00:35:20Are you okay?
00:35:22Are you hurt?
00:35:23I...
00:35:24I'm okay.
00:35:25I...
00:35:25I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:27I...
00:35:27I didn't see the message.
00:35:29Serena took my phone.
00:35:31I...
00:35:31I didn't know.
00:35:31I'm sorry.
00:35:33I'm...
00:35:33Okay.
00:35:35You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:37You're freezing.
00:35:37You didn't have to come.
00:35:41Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:43Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:35:50Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:35:53Ah...
00:35:55Ah...
00:35:59Ah...
00:36:00Ah...
00:36:02Ah...
00:36:03Ah...
00:36:04Ah...
00:36:04Ah...
00:36:06That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:07If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:09Yes.
00:36:10I...
00:36:11Wasn't going to.
00:36:13I...
00:36:13Wasn't going to.
00:36:24You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:27What?
00:36:28Kissing?
00:36:28Hiding feelings.
00:36:29Oh, I...
00:36:31I...
00:36:31Do you wanna dance to the rhythm of your heart and me?
00:36:34This is the beginning of flying in the unknown.
00:36:38Tell me what you said.
00:36:40Tell me what you wanted.
00:36:42You'd give me heavy.
00:36:51Dump those Ewok pajamas.
00:36:54Oh, you wish.
00:36:57Seriously.
00:36:58It's a cock block.
00:37:00You kissed me.
00:37:02That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:10Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:12I might hold you to that.
00:37:23You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:26The list is on the board.
00:37:30One...
00:37:30Two...
00:37:31Three...
00:37:32Paper planes
00:37:34Are you okay?
00:37:36Fly me to outer space
00:37:40That's where I'll see your face
00:37:44And have you with me
00:37:50It may seem dark
00:37:53But you always light my spark
00:37:59In my heart
00:38:04Since the start
00:38:09They're either enemies we secretly marry
00:38:13Honestly
00:38:14Both
00:38:17I was sure I'd never found someone
00:38:19Who made my head spin around
00:38:21No one's ever gonna be the thing we need
00:38:24They all just let me down
00:38:25But baby
00:38:27You saved me
00:38:29Until I'm brand new
00:38:32Everything's so different now
00:38:35So...
00:38:36The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:39Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:41Because it's weird
00:38:43And I like weird
00:38:58You're cheating
00:39:00I'm winning
00:39:01There's a difference
00:39:02You are very distracting
00:39:05And you like it
00:39:06I will be there for you all day
00:39:10I'll be the name of the darkest days
00:39:14I'll hold you in my arms
00:39:16Charles
00:39:18We need to talk
00:39:26I expected poor judgement
00:39:28But this in my house?
00:39:31It isn't what it looks like
00:39:32No?
00:39:33Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library
00:39:37Enlighten me then, Charles
00:39:38We came back tonight after speaking with Serena
00:39:41Imagine our surprise walking in on this
00:39:45This
00:39:45She isn't just...
00:39:46You have no right to barge in
00:39:49On my property
00:39:53I care about her
00:39:54I'm not ashamed of that
00:39:56That's enough
00:39:59Why do you care?
00:40:01We're protecting our son's future
00:40:03And our name
00:40:05You think this protects me?
00:40:07We think
00:40:08She does not belong in your world
00:40:13Then maybe I don't either
00:40:17You're ready to give up everything
00:40:19For a girl you barely know?
00:40:24Yes
00:40:24Then, are you sure
00:40:28She's ready?
00:40:34I'm asking you
00:40:35Do you think she's ready?
00:40:37To lose everything
00:40:38Regardless of how little that is
00:40:40Just to be with you?
00:40:42What are you talking about?
00:40:44You left us no choice son
00:40:45You shouldn't disobey your father
00:40:50Pelton
00:40:51It's Frederick Kenwood
00:40:52Ah, Mr Kenwood, how can I help?
00:40:55If a scholarship student
00:40:57Were to violate our behavioural code
00:41:00In a public setting
00:41:01With photographic evidence
00:41:03Would that warrant a review?
00:41:05Yes, sir
00:41:10So, answer me again
00:41:12Do you think she's ready to lose everything
00:41:15Just to be with you?
00:41:26Charles
00:41:27What happened?
00:41:28Did your parents say something?
00:41:29Are they mad?
00:41:30Is everything okay?
00:41:32Pack your things
00:41:34You can't stay here anymore
00:41:36What?
00:41:38My parents fired your mother
00:41:40She's leaving
00:41:42So are you
00:41:42Wait, what, why?
00:41:44Is it because of us?
00:41:45We can fix this
00:41:46I'll get a job, anything
00:41:47Stop, stop it
00:41:48You don't get it
00:41:50If I don't walk away from this
00:41:51They'll cut me off
00:41:52Okay?
00:41:54No card
00:41:55No trust
00:41:56No support
00:41:58Nothing
00:41:58Then
00:42:00Then we'll figure it out
00:42:01We don't need all that
00:42:03We can
00:42:03Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:09So that's what this was
00:42:11Just fun until it got inconvenient
00:42:15What did they promise you?
00:42:19Nothing
00:42:23They just reminded me of what's real
00:42:28Charles, I'm not stupid
00:42:30You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation
00:42:34What did they threaten you with?
00:42:41What did they threaten you with?
00:42:43This is the difference between me and you
00:42:44What?
00:42:46You think you know me
00:42:47Or what I have
00:42:49You don't, Alice
00:42:51You're still lying
00:42:53You're still lying
00:42:53I'm not, Alice
00:42:54Look around you
00:42:56This mansion you thought was a museum
00:42:58It's my house
00:43:01My world
00:43:03I was bored into this
00:43:04I am not choosing between this
00:43:09And something I picked up for a moment of fun
00:43:15Don't do this Charles, you don't mean it
00:43:17No, it was fine
00:43:19But with you
00:43:22You don't compare to what I own
00:43:25I'll survive the loss
00:43:29Right
00:43:32I should have known
00:43:34Guys like you don't end up with girls like me
00:43:39You play with them
00:43:40You play with them then you throw them away
00:43:44Go to sleep, Alice
00:43:56This fall is a little more than I expected
00:44:02In so deep I can barely see myself
00:44:08Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:44:15But I find this the place to test myself
00:44:27Oops
00:44:43I'm sorry
00:44:45Didn't see you there
00:44:47Then again nobody does
00:44:49Move please
00:44:50Hmm
00:44:51Try begging
00:44:58You know what, keep it
00:45:04Poor thing
00:45:06Poor thing
00:45:06So dramatic
00:45:08Don't
00:45:10Excuse me
00:45:11I warned you
00:45:12Walk away Serena
00:45:34Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:38Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:38But one pair surprised me in a good way
00:45:41Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:45:44Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:45:47She loves the sound of her own voice
00:45:49Let her have it
00:45:50I couldn't stay, I couldn't wait
00:45:53But I thought that you should know that I would have
00:45:57Can hang on
00:45:58Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:03Like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:46:07Different worlds, different rules
00:46:11At first glance they clash
00:46:14But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:18Confusion, curiosity
00:46:20But in the end some stories aren't about staying
00:46:23And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:35And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:40Is she still talking about the essay?
00:46:44Miss Keaton
00:46:47Dramatic as always
00:46:48Alright, thank you Alice
00:46:50Yes
00:46:50That was
00:46:52Layered
00:46:54Are you okay?
00:46:55A reminder
00:46:56That good literature
00:46:58Always stirs something
00:47:02Hello?
00:47:03Hi, this is Alice Keaton
00:47:04This is Whitmore Press
00:47:05We've been following your work
00:47:07We'd like to offer you a long term publishing contract
00:47:09Name your price, we'll make it work
00:47:11Sorry, what?
00:47:12What?
00:47:17That's...
00:47:17Kind of...
00:47:18Insane
00:47:19Who's behind this?
00:47:20Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:47:23Can...
00:47:24Can I meet them?
00:47:27I want to
00:47:28Please
00:47:30Or at least tell me a name
00:47:34Sorry, they wish to stay anonymous
00:47:36So they're only interested in the word, not the person
00:47:38I'd really like to meet them
00:47:40I'm sorry Miss Keaton
00:47:41They weren't very interested
00:47:42And that's the most generous offer we've ever given in this process
00:47:46I see
00:47:46Congratulations again
00:47:52You got the interview!
00:47:54It's just an interview, I haven't gotten in yet
00:47:55Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:47:59That's iconic
00:48:02You got the interview?
00:48:04Oh, Sam
00:48:07Are you okay?
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:11I'm so excited
00:48:25It's done Mr Kenwood
00:48:26Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:48:29Good
00:48:31It's a generous deal
00:48:32You sure you don't want her to know?
00:48:35No
00:48:36No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:39I would be before you, babe
00:48:44I'd be there in your darkest days
00:48:48Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:48:51Go live the life you were always meant to
00:48:58Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:02And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:08It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:13I've lost my appetite
00:49:18I'll go check on him
00:49:24What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:30This engagement
00:49:32It's not happening
00:49:32It's not up to you, you know that
00:49:34Serena, we're not doing this
00:49:38You've changed
00:49:42Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:49:44It's not happening
00:50:11It's not happening
00:50:14You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:50:19So?
00:50:20You lied to everyone
00:50:22Including her
00:50:23I protected her
00:50:27You loved her
00:50:28Still do
00:50:31Let it go, Serena
00:50:34There's no point
00:50:44I need a favour
00:50:46Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:50:49And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:50:56Anything, Myra?
00:50:58She's not answering
00:50:59The interview's almost over
00:51:01Well, she won't just not show up
00:51:03Something's wrong
00:51:06Where's Alice?
00:51:08When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:09Last night, she said she was prepping all evening
00:51:16James
00:51:17Track someone for me
00:51:20Wait, where are you going?
00:51:28Chill, okay
00:51:29We won't hurt you
00:51:31Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:51:34That's it
00:51:43Sheets!
00:51:44Come back!
00:51:45Look!
00:52:13I remember how it meant
00:52:16Didn't need a second guess
00:52:22Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice?
00:52:25Alice, hey, hey, hey, stay with me
00:52:26Stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:52:27Alice!
00:52:34You're awake?
00:52:36Where...
00:52:37Where am I?
00:52:38Local clinic
00:52:40Pass-in-by brought you in
00:52:42Pass-in-by
00:52:43He found you on the side of the road
00:52:45He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:52:49Oh
00:52:51The interview, what time is it?
00:52:53Easy
00:52:54It's okay, someone already contacted the university
00:52:57And sent in your writing samples
00:52:59They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:01Wait, what, who?
00:53:03No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:08What did you say?
00:53:10Nothing
00:53:10Nothing
00:53:11I just...
00:53:13had a dream
00:53:21Yeah, I did
00:53:22Yeah, I did
00:53:25Did you...
00:53:25I got him!
00:53:29Oh, I knew it!
00:53:31Oh, too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:34He's not here
00:53:36Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:39Know what?
00:53:40He left
00:53:41A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:53:45Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him
00:53:47It's probably for the best
00:53:48Come on
00:53:55Alice?
00:53:59The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:03Chaotic
00:54:05Unexpected
00:54:08And with his absence
00:54:09Come on!
00:54:11It ended quietly
00:54:15Like summers always do
00:54:17Like something from a fantasy
00:54:19Did you feel it from across the room?
00:54:23Did you feel a little enchanted?
00:54:29And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Heaton
00:54:36Thank you for having me
00:54:37Now, your words moved millions
00:54:40They say your stories feel real
00:54:43Especially the ones about love
00:54:45Thank you
00:54:45Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:54:48How's your dating life like these days?
00:54:50No comment
00:54:51A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working
00:54:57Not even a single date
00:54:58Let me guess a bird named Shiri
00:54:59Still no comment
00:55:02Alright, alright
00:55:03No matter what you say
00:55:04You write love
00:55:06Like someone who's lived it
00:55:08If you're so real
00:55:11That's why today we're here sharing a story
00:55:14Behind Alice Keaton's new book
00:55:16And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:18And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:32Congratulations Alice, the numbers just came in
00:55:35You broke your own record
00:55:38That's... incredible
00:55:40We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight
00:55:44Actually, there's something I'd rather do
00:55:48I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:55:52My sponsor
00:55:53You're sure?
00:55:55Yeah, just once
00:55:57Tonight, 7pm
00:56:10Good evening
00:56:14Good evening
00:56:18May I sit?
00:56:23Hey, Mr. Noncelone
00:56:28Hi
00:56:30Hi
00:56:32You look well
00:56:36And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:39You always did
00:56:41You were expecting someone else
00:56:44I was...
00:56:46Hoping
00:56:48But I guess I always knew
00:56:50I didn't come here to confuse you
00:56:53Or to reopen anything
00:56:56I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:00Oh
00:57:01Thank you
00:57:04Didn't know you're still reading
00:57:06You're rich enough not to do so
00:57:09Always
00:57:10Either way
00:57:12Either way
00:57:12Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:15So...
00:57:15No...
00:57:16No, you've... you earned everything
00:57:21Every word
00:57:23Every page
00:57:25Every reader
00:57:27That's what I came to say
00:57:32It was good to see you again
00:57:34It was good to see you again
00:57:34I hope...
00:57:35Charles
00:57:37Can you just...
00:57:40Wait a little longer
00:57:47I think I knew it was you
00:57:49You...
00:57:50There was one email
00:57:53You said something
00:57:55Felt familiar
00:57:55Really?
00:57:57Kinda had that...
00:57:58Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:00Very on brand
00:58:02I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:04Too late
00:58:05Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:08Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation
00:58:11Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically
00:58:17You've changed
00:58:20But...
00:58:21Not really
00:58:23You haven't changed
00:58:25But...
00:58:26Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:30Anyway
00:58:32I wanted to say
00:58:34Thank you
00:58:36And...
00:58:37Thanks for being here tonight
00:58:40You didn't have to come
00:58:42Don't tell me what I have to do
00:58:43You didn't have to come
00:58:49Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:11If you could go back
00:59:12If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:14Would you do anything differently?
00:59:21No
00:59:26No
00:59:31I see
00:59:33I...
00:59:35I know my answer now
00:59:36I didn't have the power back then
00:59:39Not enough to protect you
00:59:41I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
00:59:44Because of my name
00:59:46My family
00:59:49I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
00:59:51So you just disappeared
00:59:53Without a word
00:59:57If you had the chance to see the woe
00:59:59Without me weighing you down
01:00:02If you still chose me after that
01:00:07You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:11But you made a choice for me
01:00:15Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:19I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:26I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:28Yes
01:00:29You weren't
01:00:32But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:43This is me
01:00:44Right
01:00:53I'm still mad at you, you know
01:00:57I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:07Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:10You're asking your ex
01:01:12Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:15To come into your hotel
01:01:17At approximately 11pm
01:01:20You were right
01:01:21You never were that smart
01:01:23You don't have to come
01:01:25Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:28It's almost like you say
01:01:31Where does things burn and let go
01:01:41Stop quoting yourself
01:01:42I recycle
01:01:43Saves energy
01:01:46This feels wildly irresponsible
01:01:48You sound like a disclaimer
01:01:49You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:01:52I said that?
01:01:53Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:01:56Still is
01:01:58You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:04That is cute to me
01:02:05Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:07I wasn't going to
01:02:08I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:11Then shut up
01:02:13And prove it
01:02:19I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:21I told you
01:02:22That you're the worst enemies
01:02:23Or secretly married
01:02:25And I told you
01:02:25That both
01:02:30It's more than enough to let glide in
01:02:34Lay on making the foolish divine
01:02:39It's enough to let it fall, let it be
01:02:48You're in my sight and my mind
01:02:53I vow to always tell you the truth
01:02:56Except for when you ask how your cooking work
01:02:59Then I lie
01:03:01Respectfully
01:03:03I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:06Loudly
01:03:07Quietly
01:03:09Always
01:03:11Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:35If she quotes Austin in this toast, I'm out
01:03:38No you're not, you're going to cry harder
01:03:41For the rest of life
01:03:46For the rest of my life
01:03:59Woke up to the smell of roses
01:04:03I can't believe you picked Paris
01:04:05Such a cliché honeymoon destination
01:04:09Guard your phone
01:04:10Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine
01:04:16You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:04:20Please, Alice, go change
01:04:22Don't tell me what I have to do
01:04:28No
01:04:29No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation
01:04:32Do not take off these clothes
01:04:33Overruled
01:04:34You look much better without them
01:04:41To the ones who loved in silence
01:04:44In chaos
01:04:45In chapters
01:04:47You will find your way home
01:04:53Sometimes I wanna be on my own
01:04:55But I don't wanna die alone
01:04:58God
01:04:58I want to go out for you
01:05:01Love, I'll be reconted by the morning
01:05:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
01:05:10Oopsie
01:05:12My kings
01:05:23it's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:05:29help us develop learn and grow
