00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through
00:00:10metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong
00:00:18almost there you excited for your first day? she calls this a fresh start I call it terrifying
00:00:30I've got this just for yourself that's kind of the problem
00:00:48okay morning class and you're not seated because I don't have a seat ah a new transfer
00:01:16Alice Keaton right let's see there's a spot next to Charles seriously a charity
00:01:28case sitting next to Charles quiet Charles I've always had words for everything but
00:01:40in that moment I forgot them all
00:01:45Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what sleeping from everything
00:02:03if anything Charles miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you she was top of
00:02:07her class at a previous school with all due respect sir her previous school was
00:02:13American I highly doubt that that's enough she can sit here it's fine back to Goldie thank
00:02:26you got it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's talking
00:02:34about their experience of the time
00:02:40wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it don't take it
00:02:46personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants what he's
00:02:52hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking I don't find bullies
00:03:02attractive hey be careful you're talking about the king of Ashford the what his family basically own
00:03:09the school and the town maybe even the country yeah everyone's tried to get close no one can get past
00:03:16ego you're not the first to get nice okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision
00:03:23and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just
00:03:31seems isolated like he's making out honestly I just think he's lonely and kind of what no go on
00:03:46you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic next time read the room before opening your mouth American
00:04:01we're not in Kansas anymore Alice
00:04:06hey how's your first day uh good anything exciting happen not really super uneventful
00:04:29really how's your new job yeah all right get this they said we can stay in the servant's wing
00:04:36seriously apparently the young master won't mind the company the young master
00:04:43this is your boss's house yeah that's incredible I mean I wouldn't call it a house it's a museum
00:04:54with better landscaping wait here I'll talk to the butler wow rich people you've topped yourselves again
00:05:11Stephen King first edition breaking and entering now how American of you
00:05:31you can get up now I I'm trying wait are you serious well you think I'm going to be a
00:06:01you said you were trying what is wrong with you funny I was about to ask you the same thing
00:06:08what are you doing in my house you wait your house my house my library and now apparently my
00:06:20unwanted guest ah master Charles must be miss Alice and daughter she said you'd be moving in today
00:06:28she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see I'm not actually moving in
00:06:34is that so yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame your mother seemed quite pleased with
00:06:41the arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well if you're sure then absolutely not
00:06:47Alice come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate I'm dead like mentally socially and
00:07:05actually dead just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails get it together Alice Keaton
00:07:19you've been I was sure I'd never find someone I'll make my head spin around actually no
00:07:25be the thing I need they all just let this is how baby you say good morning
00:07:32so is that Miss Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late
00:07:54hey how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school okay if I sprint
00:08:09maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:14what are you doing here didn't you already leave wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my
00:08:33textbook don't flatter yourself wait since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person in
00:08:44give me a ride no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who
00:08:58forced me to live in his house unbelievable
00:09:14Ashford Institute please thank you
00:09:20who needs an entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why not just give Miss Keaton a lift
00:09:32why not just give Miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's already
00:09:38talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:09:50asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:00Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:15I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak wait wait do I see bed it quiet
00:10:26that's an interesting take explain he had the setup for something brutal something honest in the end he
00:10:38backed out he could have left the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of
00:10:42vulnerability let them choose survival or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a
00:10:50happily ever after on a book about savagery it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised
00:11:00Charles didn't think you had such strong literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not
00:11:06get ahead of ourselves so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:14I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:33it's not mercy it's irony how so
00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and
00:11:43forget you're a monster Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending
00:11:48they could be saved that's an interesting tape mosquito you still think it's a harsh critique in some
00:11:54ways but not harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize
00:12:02with them and the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah I don't
00:12:09think Golding pushed far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:13thank you miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic
00:12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:31good literature will always divide opinion
00:12:36what's happening to me
00:12:37okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me well you're new and apparently had a thing with
00:12:50Charles oh what now you two are in the middle of this epic feud as your teen in years we're not even
00:12:57fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected begged to sit next to
00:13:03him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:09and stormed out in tears you were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:13:22wow is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty honestly
00:13:30both but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:34okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester

00:16:15Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:17Are you happy with how we end?
00:16:24What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:32No.
00:16:41You're welcome.
00:16:43I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:47Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:52You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:56You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:00I wouldn't recommend it.
00:17:01You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:13No.
00:17:14But I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:18What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:21Don't worry.
00:17:22I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:26I'm...
00:17:27I'm sorry.
00:17:28I'm sorry.
00:17:34I'm sorry.
00:17:40Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:44Alice?
00:17:48Alice?
00:17:49Over here.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:56Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58I just...
00:17:58I took a weird shower.
00:18:00Top exploded.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:04Let's get your head.
00:18:04I just cheated, right?
00:18:17I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:34I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:49I'll look into it.
00:18:51Charles, good on you. How many here would speak up?
00:18:57I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane.
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust facts.
00:19:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:27Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:45Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:51But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:11The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:16So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:21What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:42Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:44It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house.
00:20:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:55Just don't look, go away.
00:20:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:02Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:05You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what? I don't get it.
00:21:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:21Where would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:25Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:31Or Titian, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Paris.
00:21:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:53And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:00That's word for word.
00:22:03I told you.
00:22:04I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:14Twice.
00:22:15Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:17Aren't they all five star hotels?
00:22:19Standard rooms in five star hotels.
00:22:22No thank you.
00:22:24Wow.
00:22:25Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That's unfortunate.
00:22:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice?
00:22:31Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud.
00:22:37You're annoying.
00:22:38You're in my kitchen.
00:22:39You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:52After Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:55Staff won't make it tonight.
00:22:56Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:22:57I've got it sorted.
00:22:58I've got it sorted.
00:23:05Jesus!
00:23:06What are you doing?
00:23:07Relax.
00:23:08I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:09What deal?
00:23:10You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:11You'll survive.
00:23:12I'm not selling my body.

00:26:54You were crying, loudly, kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right, sorry for the noise.
00:27:04Wait, no snarky comeback?
00:27:07Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:08If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:17A hurricane hit New York.
00:27:19Power went down, traffic froze.
00:27:22Dad had a stroke, but he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful, but he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:44So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:50After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:54What are you doing?
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:05Wait, I thought the power was out.
00:28:24It is.
00:28:25We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow, rich people houses, huh?
00:28:29Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:34Allow what?
00:28:35You can call this place your house, so enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition, Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters, Jane Austen's notes, all yours.
00:28:44This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:28:58Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay, then.
00:29:05I have one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:12Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:22Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:27And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:41It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait.
00:29:46Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:57Happy.
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:30:02You know, that's suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:08Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won mean past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:15Oh my...
00:30:16No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18No, no, no, oh my god.
00:30:20You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:24Glad to pull you in close.
00:30:26Besides, we're locked on your phone.
00:30:28All yourself work, cause I'm moving on.
00:30:32Oh yeah.
00:30:33Showing up at my door.
00:30:37Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:43Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:04Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:06When did you get back?
00:31:07Last night, from Zurich, you didn't answer my messages.
00:31:12I missed you.
00:31:14Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:17Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:19Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:21They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:23I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:25They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:28You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:32Engagement.
00:31:33Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:37He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff.
00:31:39Very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:42You didn't have to.
00:31:43It's never up to us.
00:31:46Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:49I can hear you, you know.
00:31:50Oh, an American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:32:00Wait.
00:32:03Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:23Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the tempest.
00:32:28Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Teasing the help?
00:32:32That's her.
00:32:39That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:42Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:43Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:02They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:04Oh, and Serena.
00:33:05What about her?
00:33:07Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:11Of course she did.
00:33:24Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:27Come to the music room.
00:33:43I just remembered I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah, okay.
00:33:55Hello?
00:33:55Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously?
00:33:59This is getting old.
00:34:00Wait.
00:34:12Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:17Is anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:21Sir?
00:34:22Sir?
00:34:23Sir, it's raining.
00:34:25Come on, Alice.
00:34:26You're fine.
00:34:27You're not that girl again.
00:34:29Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:54Bishops move diagonally
00:34:57And knights
00:34:58The knight's the weird one
00:35:00Rooks
00:35:06Straight lines
00:35:08Bishops
00:35:09Diagonally
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:24The text
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:36I'm okay
00:35:37I saw the text and I thought
00:35:40I didn't see the message
00:35:41Serena took my phone
00:35:43I didn't know
00:35:44I'm sorry
00:35:45I'm okay
00:35:46You're gonna catch a cold
00:35:49You're freezing
00:35:50You didn't have to come
00:35:51Don't tell me
00:35:55What I have to do
00:35:57That wasn't a mistake
00:36:20If that's what you're about to say
00:36:22I
00:36:23Wasn't going to
00:36:26Really bad at this, you know
00:36:39What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:42Hiding feelings
00:36:43All right
00:36:44Dump those Ewok pyjamas
00:37:07Oh, you wish
00:37:09Seriously
00:37:11It's a cock block
00:37:12You kissed me
00:37:15That's basically
00:37:17Consent to everything
00:37:20Dangerous words, Keaton
00:37:25I might hold you to that
00:37:27You'll be working in pairs
00:37:38On your comparative essays
00:37:39The list is on the board
00:37:41One, two, three, four
00:37:45Are you okay?
00:37:49Fly me to outer space
00:37:53That's where I'll see your face
00:37:58And have you with me
00:38:01It may seem dark
00:38:07But you always like my spark
00:38:12You're welcome
00:38:19They're either enemies
00:38:24Or secretly married
00:38:26Honestly
00:38:27Right?
00:38:29I was sure I'd never find someone
00:38:33To make my head spin around
00:38:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:38:37They all just let me down
00:38:39But baby
00:38:40You saved me
00:38:42Time been new
00:38:45Everything's so different now
00:38:48So the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:55Because it's weird
00:38:56And I like weird
00:38:59Check
00:39:07You're cheating
00:39:13I'm winning
00:39:15There's a difference
00:39:16You are very distracting
00:39:18And you like it
00:39:20Charles
00:39:31We need to talk
00:39:33I expected poor judgment
00:39:42But this in my house
00:39:45It isn't what it looks like
00:39:46No
00:39:47Kissing a servant's daughter
00:39:49In the family library
00:39:51Enlighten me then, Charles
00:39:53We came back tonight
00:39:54After speaking with Serena
00:39:55Imagine our surprise
00:39:57Walking in on
00:39:58This
00:39:59She isn't just
00:40:00You have no right
00:40:02To barge in
00:40:03On my property
00:40:04I care about her
00:40:09I'm not ashamed
00:40:10That's enough
00:40:11Why do you care?
00:40:15We're protecting our son's future
00:40:17And our name
00:40:20You think this protects me?
00:40:22We think
00:40:22She does not belong in your world
00:40:25Then maybe I don't either
00:40:30You're ready to give up everything
00:40:33For a girl you barely know
00:40:35Yes
00:40:39Then
00:40:40Are you sure
00:40:41She's ready?
00:40:49I'm asking you
00:40:50Do you think she's ready
00:40:52To lose everything
00:40:53Regardless of how little
00:40:54That is
00:40:55Just to be with you?
00:40:57What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son
00:41:00You shouldn't disobey your father
00:41:02Pelton
00:41:05It's Frederick Kenwood
00:41:07Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student
00:41:12Were to violate our behavioural code
00:41:14In a public setting
00:41:16With photographic evidence
00:41:17Would that warrant a review?
00:41:20Yes, sir
00:41:21So
00:41:24Answer me again
00:41:26Do you think she's ready
00:41:28To lose everything
00:41:29Just to be with you?
00:41:32Charles
00:41:42What happened?
00:41:43Did your parents say something?
00:41:44Are they mad?
00:41:44Is everything okay?
00:41:47Pack your things
00:41:47You can't stay here anymore
00:41:50What?
00:41:53My parents fired your mother
00:41:55She's leaving
00:41:56So are you
00:41:57Wait, what?
00:41:58Why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:01We can fix this
00:42:01I'll get a job
00:42:02Stop, stop it
00:42:03You don't get it
00:42:04If I don't walk away from this
00:42:06They'll cut me off
00:42:08Okay?
00:42:09No card
00:42:10No trust
00:42:11No support
00:42:11No support
00:42:12Nothing
00:42:13Then
00:42:14Then we'll figure it out
00:42:16We don't need all that
00:42:18We can
00:42:18Do you really think
00:42:20I'm going to live like that?
00:42:21So that's what this was
00:42:26Just fun
00:42:28Until it got inconvenient
00:42:29What did they promise you?
00:42:35Nothing
00:42:35They just reminded me
00:42:39Of what's real
00:42:41Charles, I'm not stupid
00:42:45You don't just turn into a cold stranger
00:42:48Because of one conversation
00:42:49What did they threaten you with?
00:42:56What did they threaten you with?
00:42:58This is the difference between me and you
00:43:00What?
00:43:01You think you know me
00:43:03Or what I have
00:43:04You don't, Alice
00:43:06You're still lying
00:43:08I'm not
00:43:09Alice
00:43:09Look around you
00:43:11This mansion
00:43:12You thought was a museum
00:43:14It's my house
00:43:16My world
00:43:18I was bored into this
00:43:20I am not choosing
00:43:21Between this
00:43:22And something I picked up
00:43:26For a moment
00:43:27Of fun
00:43:28Don't do this, Charles
00:43:32You don't mean it
00:43:33It was fun
00:43:34But you
00:43:36You don't compare to what I own
00:43:39I'll survive the loss
00:43:42Right
00:43:45I should have known
00:43:48Guys like you
00:43:51Don't end up with girls like me
00:43:53You play with them
00:43:56Then you throw them away
00:43:57Go to sleep, Alice
00:44:00This fall is a little more
00:44:14Than I expected
00:44:15In so deep
00:44:19I can barely see myself
00:44:21Yeah, around me
00:44:26Feels so heavy
00:44:27But the pleated
00:44:28But I find
00:44:31This place
00:44:32To test
00:44:33Myself
00:44:35Oops
00:44:43Oh, sorry
00:45:01Didn't see that
00:45:03Then again
00:45:04Nobody does
00:45:05Move, please
00:45:06Hmm
00:45:07Try begging
00:45:09You know what
00:45:15Keep it
00:45:16Poor thing
00:45:22So dramatic
00:45:23Don't
00:45:25Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:28Walk away, Serena
00:45:30Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:54But one pair surprised me
00:45:56In a good way
00:45:57Charles Kenwood
00:45:59And Alice Keaton
00:46:00Would you mind giving us her short summary
00:46:03She loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:05Better have it
00:46:06I couldn't stay
00:46:07I couldn't wait
00:46:09I thought that you should know that I would have
00:46:13Can hang around
00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:19Like logic and chaos
00:46:21Or silence and noise
00:46:23Different worlds
00:46:25Different rules
00:46:26At first glance
00:46:29They clash
00:46:30But what makes the story interesting
00:46:33Is what happens next
00:46:34Confusion
00:46:35Curiosity
00:46:36But in the end
00:46:38Some stories aren't about staying
00:46:39And yes
00:46:41There is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:43And yes
00:46:53There is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:55Is she still talking about the essay
00:46:58Miss Keaton
00:47:02Dramatic as always
00:47:05Alright
00:47:06Thank you Alice
00:47:07That was
00:47:08Laid
00:47:09Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder
00:47:12That good literature
00:47:14Always stirs something
00:47:17Hello?
00:47:20Hi
00:47:20Here's Alice Keaton
00:47:21This is Whitmore Press
00:47:22We've been following your work
00:47:24We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract
00:47:26Name your price
00:47:27We'll make it work
00:47:28Sorry, what?
00:47:33That's
00:47:34Kind of
00:47:35Insane
00:47:36Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:47:39Can
00:47:40Can I meet them?
00:47:44I want to
00:47:45Please
00:47:46Or at least
00:47:47Tell me a name
00:47:48Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:47:53So they're only interested in work
00:47:55Not the person
00:47:55I'd really like to meet them
00:47:57I'm sorry, Miss Keaton
00:47:58They were very good
00:47:59I think the most generous offer we've ever given a disability
00:48:01I see
00:48:04Congratulations again
00:48:05You got the interview?
00:48:10It's just an interview
00:48:11I haven't gotten in yet
00:48:13Still
00:48:13Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:48:15That's iconic
00:48:17You okay?
00:48:27Yeah
00:48:27I'm so excited
00:48:30It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:48:44Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:48:45Good
00:48:47It's a generous deal
00:48:49You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:52No
00:48:52No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:56I will be fine
00:48:59I'll be there in your darkest days
00:49:05Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:11Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:24It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:28I've lost my appetite
00:49:32I'll go check on him
00:49:37What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:48Disengagement
00:49:48It's not happening
00:49:50It's not up to you
00:49:51You know that
00:49:52Serena, we're not doing this
00:49:53You've changed
00:49:56Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:02Tal's?
00:50:30You're the sponsor
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:50:34So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone
00:50:40Including her
00:50:41I protected her
00:50:43You loved her
00:50:46Still do
00:50:48Let it go, Serena
00:50:51There's no point
00:50:54I need a favour
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:51:06And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:51:10Anything?
00:51:14No?
00:51:17She's not answering
00:51:18The interview's almost over
00:51:19Well, she won't just not show up
00:51:21Something's wrong
00:51:23Where's Alice?
00:51:26When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:28Last night
00:51:29She said she was prepping all evening
00:51:30James, track someone for me
00:51:36Wait
00:51:38Where are you going?
00:51:47Chill, okay
00:51:48It won't hurt you
00:51:49Yeah
00:51:50We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:51:53That's it
00:51:53Shit
00:52:02Come back
00:52:03I remember how a man
00:52:33Didn't need a second guess
00:52:37Hey, hey, hey
00:52:42Alice, Alice
00:52:42Alice, stay with me
00:52:45Stay with me
00:52:45Stay with me, Alice
00:52:46Alice
00:52:47You're awake
00:52:54Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic
00:52:58Passer-by brought you in
00:53:00Passer-by
00:53:02He found you on the side of the road
00:53:04He had to leave
00:53:05He didn't leave a name
00:53:06Oh
00:53:08The interview, what time is it?
00:53:12Easy
00:53:12It's okay
00:53:14Someone already contacted the university
00:53:16And sent in your writing samples
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:20Wait, what?
00:53:21Who?
00:53:22No idea
00:53:23But it's all taken care of
00:53:24What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing
00:53:29I just
00:53:31Had a dream
00:53:33I got him!
00:53:45I got him!
00:53:45I knew it!
00:53:50Too bad Charles
00:53:52Isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:53He's not here
00:53:55Oh
00:53:56You
00:53:56Didn't
00:53:57Know
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left
00:54:00A few days ago
00:54:02Yeah, everyone
00:54:02Doesn't really know where he went
00:54:04Honestly
00:54:05Asher's been quieter
00:54:06Without him
00:54:07It's probably for the best
00:54:08Come on
00:54:08I couldn't stay
00:54:11I couldn't wait
00:54:13I thought that you should know
00:54:15I would have
00:54:16To hang around
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward
00:54:21Was loud
00:54:21Chaotic
00:54:23Unexpected
00:54:25And with his absence
00:54:29Come on
00:54:29It ended quietly
00:54:32Like summers always do
00:54:37And joining us today
00:54:50The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:54Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56No, your words moved millions
00:54:59They say your stories feel real
00:55:02Especially the ones about love
00:55:04Thank you
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:07How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:10No comment
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working
00:55:16Not even a single date
00:55:18Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:19She caught me
00:55:20Still no comment
00:55:21Alright, alright
00:55:23No matter what you say
00:55:24You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:28If you're so real
00:55:30Because once I did
00:55:31With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:34And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:42Congratulations Alice
00:55:53The numbers just came in
00:55:55You broke your own record
00:55:56That's incredible
00:56:00We're thinking celebration
00:56:01Press
00:56:02Photos
00:56:03Maybe tonight
00:56:03Actually
00:56:04There's something I'd rather do
00:56:06I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:56:11My sponsor
00:56:13You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah
00:56:15Just once
00:56:17Tonight
00:56:187pm
00:56:19Good evening
00:56:31Good evening
00:56:35May I sit
00:56:39Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:56:46Hi
00:56:49Hi
00:56:50You look well
00:56:54And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:58You always did
00:57:01You were expecting someone else
00:57:03I was
00:57:05Hoping
00:57:07But I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:13Or to reopen anything
00:57:15I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:19Oh
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:22Didn't know you're still reading
00:57:26You're rich enough not to do so
00:57:28Always
00:57:30Either way
00:57:32Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:35So
00:57:35No
00:57:36No
00:57:37You earned everything
00:57:38Every word
00:57:42Every page
00:57:44Every reader
00:57:46That's what I came to say
00:57:49It was good to see you again
00:57:54I hope
00:57:55Charles
00:57:56Can you just
00:57:58Wait a little longer
00:58:01I think I knew it was you
00:58:09There was one email
00:58:12You said something
00:58:15Felt familiar
00:58:16Really
00:58:17Kind of had that
00:58:18Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:20Very on brand
00:58:22I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:25Too late
00:58:25Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:28Still the only girl I know
00:58:30Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:31Still the only god I know
00:58:33Who uses wiles unironically
00:58:34You've changed
00:58:38But
00:58:40Not really
00:58:42You haven't changed
00:58:45But maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:49Anyway
00:58:51I wanted to say
00:58:54Thank you
00:58:55And
00:58:57Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:00You didn't have to come
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:04You didn't have to come
00:59:08Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:13If you could go back
00:59:33If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:35Would you do anything differently?
00:59:43No
00:59:44No
00:59:45No
00:59:48I see
00:59:53I know my answer now
00:59:58I didn't have the power back then
01:00:00Not enough to protect you
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:04Because of my name
01:00:06My family
01:00:08I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:12So you just disappeared
01:00:14Without a word
01:00:16If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:20Without me weighing you down
01:00:22If you still chose me after that
01:00:25You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:31But you made a choice for me
01:00:34Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:39I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:43I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:50You weren't
01:00:52But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:56This is me
01:01:06Right
01:01:07I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:15I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:20Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:29You're asking your ex, who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:36To come into your hotel
01:01:38At approximately 11pm
01:01:40You were right
01:01:42You never were that smart
01:01:44You don't have to come
01:01:46Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:48To tell me what I have to do
01:02:04Stop quoting yourself
01:02:04I recycle
01:02:05It saves energy
01:02:06This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:10You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:11You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:14I said that
01:02:15Yeah
01:02:16Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:18Still is
01:02:19You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:25That is cute to me
01:02:27Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:29I wasn't going to
01:02:30I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:32Then shut up
01:02:34And prove it
01:02:42I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:43I told you
01:02:44They're either worst enemies
01:02:45Or secretly married
01:02:46And I told you
01:02:47They're both
01:02:48They're both
01:03:04No
01:03:05Let it be
01:03:14I vow to always tell you the truth
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:03:20Then I lie
01:03:21Respectfully
01:03:22I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:23Loudly
01:03:24Quietly
01:03:25Always
01:03:26Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:27Is he actually good at this?
01:03:28I mean he did beat her at sarcasm
01:03:30I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:03:31Especially over Shakespeare
01:03:32I vow to write you into every story
01:03:36Even when I say I didn't
01:03:37You will always be part of my life
01:03:38If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:03:39I'm out
01:03:40No you're not
01:03:41You're gonna cry harder
01:03:42No you're gonna cry harder
01:03:43If you willλ‚΄
01:03:44Charlie is his in yourannah
01:03:58If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:04:00I'm out
01:04:01No you're not
01:04:02You're gonna cry harder
01:04:03Thats on her
01:04:10I can't believe you picked Paris. Such a clichΓ© honeymoon destination. Guard your phone.
01:04:33Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:39You are not wearing that on our honeymoon. Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do. No. No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation. Do not take off these clothes.
01:04:56I'm overroared. You look much better without them.
01:05:01To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:13Sometimes I want to be on my own, but I don't want to die alone.
01:05:21God.
01:05:23For your love, I'll be like gone by the morning.
