01:09This is James Beaufort's voicemail.
01:11Leave me a message.
01:12James, I totally messed up. Dad's going to lose it.
01:16Are you still at Cyril's? I don't know what to do.
01:19I'm on my way right now.
01:21♪ Beaufort ♪
01:26Oh, yeah, there he is.
01:29The gentleman of the evening.
01:32The greatest. The gorgeous.
01:35And every woman's dream boyfriend.
01:37James...
01:41Beaufort!
01:43Beaufort!
01:45Hoo, hoo, hoo!
01:47So, was she as good as she looked, then?
01:49Hey, fuck the both of you.
01:50That's my sister you're talking about, man.
01:52Ooh.
01:54Fucking chill out, Alistair.
01:55Yeah, I need to cool off.
01:56Oh, shit!
01:57Oh!
02:00Come on!
02:01Come on!
02:03Ha, ha, ha!
02:14Hey, Lydia.
02:15We missed you last night.
02:17Hey, James, your sister's here,
02:19and she's bringing bad vibes to the party.
02:21Lydia!
02:25Lyd, what's wrong?
02:28Tell me. Come on. Breathe.
02:33Really? Read the fucking room, dude.
02:35Hey, what happened to you?
02:38She was standing in front of us.
02:40She just barged in.
02:42Yeah? Who?
02:43Ruby. Ruby Bell.
02:45She saw us.
02:46The British press will destroy me.
02:48Dad will kill me.
02:49He won't forgive me for another scandal.
02:52Just breathe with me.
02:53And now, calmly, from the beginning,
02:55what's happened here?
02:56Hoo, hoo, hoo.
02:58And who is this Ruby Bell?
03:16Would you like to sit here?
03:18Oh, yeah. Thank you.
03:32That's what she said to me.
03:34Hello, Mr. Sutton.
03:35Ruby.
03:36The intruder.
03:38The intruder.
03:40The intruder.
03:42The intruder.
03:44Enjoy the summer, then.
03:46I bought the books on the Oxford reading list
03:48and read every book twice.
03:50So, yeah.
03:52Some reading for you.
03:55This is enough material for a biography.
03:58I think a little reference should be a problem.
04:06Everyone deserves a world full of opportunities.
04:09And if there's one place where those opportunities begin,
04:12it's at Oxford University.
04:14The world welcomes those who have studied there.
04:17And if everything goes as planned during this term,
04:20then in less than 365 days, I will be there.
04:24Maxton Hall College is my entry ticket.
04:30It's not just a school.
04:32It's one of the schools.
04:42Damn it.
04:52Damn it.
05:02I worked diligently in my room for months to be awarded a scholarship.
05:06Of course, that makes me the exception here.
05:12For generations, families like the Beauforts
05:14have had more money and power than some royal families.
05:17For them, every door swings open.
05:25British nobility, the son of the Manchester United coach,
05:29the cousin of the Emir of Dubai.
05:31They're all here.
05:33They go to the same parties, get the same jobs,
05:35and marry the same people.
05:37A microcosm of millionaires.
05:39And I almost forgot.
05:41Besides money and influence,
05:43my fellow students have another thing in common.
05:45I am invisible to them.
05:47I immediately realised this was my superpower.
05:50If I want to get to Oxford in less than a year,
05:52I can't afford to make any mistakes,
05:54especially in front of this crowd.
05:56The less they notice me, the better.
06:00Well, did you hand it in?
06:02Just gave it to him.
06:03Oh, I wish I'd asked Mr Sutton for a reference too.
06:06He's so cool.
06:07Mrs Campbell is just as good.
06:09So he is valedictorian at Oxford?
06:11Yeah, in 1890.
06:13Lynn was one of them too,
06:15until a year ago when her parents divorced
06:17and their business collapsed.
06:20How did she manage to get through it?
06:22No idea.
06:26At least that's what my internet research has revealed.
06:29But the collection of works on the theory of justice
06:32that you recommended to us best reflects the contents
06:35of the foundation of the metaphysics of morals
06:37and the critique of practical reason.
06:39Thank you. Yes, exactly.
06:41And that's why I always say this here...
06:46..this here is Google for the old folks.
06:50But back to Kant. Mr Smith, what do you think?
06:53Kant saying that we should all just do unto others
06:56as you would have them do unto you.
06:58That's the Bible, not Kant.
07:02What, though, if Kant's meaning of categorical imperative
07:06is his way of telling us we should ignore
07:08the consequences of what we're doing,
07:10if what we're doing feels right?
07:14Miss Bell?
07:16Reasoning was placed at the core of Kant's philosophy,
07:18not how we feel.
07:20Then maybe Kant is less relevant than we think, then.
07:24Humans are able to reason,
07:26but they usually make decisions on how they feel, though.
07:33That's what makes it so interesting,
07:35the fact that we can decide differently if we could do
07:37becomes the moral strength in us.
07:39Yeah, eloquently put.
07:41OK, let's turn to the next chapter.
07:51I can't believe the welcome party is already the day after tomorrow.
07:54I feel like I've spent half the summer
07:56talking to electricians and caterers
07:58that don't really know what they're doing.
08:00And don't forget the great selection of stone DJs.
08:02We really have to book the sober one today.
08:04Oh, a resume and all that it involves.
08:06Damn it.
08:07What?
08:08I forgot something.
08:09I have to go and see Mr Sutton.
08:11I'll see you later.
08:13OK.
08:35Excuse me, sir.
08:43Ruby, I...
08:47I can explain this.
08:52You see, all this, I can explain it.
08:54It's really not what it looks like.
08:57Ruby!
09:04RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:06RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:08RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:12RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:14RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:16RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:38You can wait here, Percy.
09:40It won't take that long.
09:46RUBY BREATHES HEAVILY
09:50Ruby, is everything OK?
09:55Ruby?
09:57OK, the first meeting of the event committee of the new term is hereby opened.
10:01Um, how are things looking for the welcome party, everyone?
10:04Uh, the posters are up.
10:06Perfect.
10:07I finally got hold of the security company and talked to the technical experts.
10:10They'll take care of the screen and projector for the promo video.
10:14Kieran?
10:15Yeah, all done.
10:16I added some drone shots in there from above.
10:18OK.
10:20Oh.
10:24Uh, Lexington wants us to include the lacrosse team in the video
10:27because of the chance of three back-to-back titles,
10:29so I will take care of the photos for that.
10:32The promo will finally be worth watching this year.
10:34James Bowfall sweaty and up close.
10:46What?
10:47James Bowfall is looking at you.
10:54Definitely not.
10:55But, look, definitely coming towards you, Ruby.
11:00James Bowfall embodies everything that is wrong in the world of the rich.
11:04Immeasurable privilege, arrogance and ignorance.
11:08Hey.
11:09Until now, I've been able to keep at least a room full of people between me and him.
11:13Do you mind if I have a minute with your friend?
11:16Sure.
11:26OK.
11:43Robin, isn't it?
11:45Ruby.
11:47Yeah, I knew it was something with an R.
11:49Right, you know me.
11:51I know your name, if that's what you mean.
11:53I'm Lydia's brother.
11:55She's in your philosophy class, yeah?
11:59I want you to take this from me.
12:03And remember, what you saw in Sun's office never happened.
12:1410,000 should do it.
12:16If you keep quiet till the end of the year, we'll double it.
12:19Wow.
12:23You're an even greater arsehole than I thought.
12:27Whoa, whoa.
12:28We're not finished.
12:30What about a Maserati and a Faberge egg as well?
12:33Oh, come on.
12:34I know that you can make use of the cash.
12:37You could buy a new backpack, if you like.
12:40At the moment, I have 17 pounds and 28 pence in my backpack.
12:43And I don't need any more.
12:46Do you need change for the cafeteria?
12:49Hmm?
12:50No?
12:51OK, then this belongs back in your trust fund, I would say.
12:55Are you serious?
13:10OK.
13:41He was trying to buy me.
13:43But I don't need his money.
13:45I earn my own.
13:48As sisters, we complement each other well.
13:50You're rich and I'm pretty.
13:51Shouldn't you be in maths for another 15 minutes?
13:53Ms. Wembley had a nervous breakdown because Victor set up a Tinder date for her.
13:56During school.
13:57So we finished early.
13:58I know hearing stuff like that makes you miss your old school.
14:01But it's not a bad thing.
14:03It's not a bad thing.
14:04It's not a bad thing.
14:05It's not a bad thing.
14:06It's not a bad thing.
14:07It's not a bad thing.
14:08Hearing stuff like that makes you miss your old school.
14:19You should have been there.
14:20It was hilarious.
14:21Ah!
14:22My two little elves.
14:23Hi.
14:24Give me two minutes.
14:25I'm going to quickly get changed.
14:26Come back, though.
14:27We're making dinner.
14:39Hey!
14:40Hey!
14:41Hey!
14:42Hey!
14:43Hey!
14:44Hey!
14:45Hey!
14:46Hey!
14:47Hey!
14:48Hey!
14:49Hey!
14:50Hey!
14:51Hey!
14:52Hey!
14:53Hey!
14:54Hey!
14:55Hey!
14:56Hey!
14:57Hey!
14:58Hey!
14:59Hey!
15:00Hey!
15:01Hey!
15:02Hey!
15:03Hey!
15:04Hey!
15:05Hey!
15:06Hey!
15:07Hey!
15:08Hey!
15:09Hey!
15:10Hey!
15:11Hey!
15:12Hey!
15:13Hey!
15:14Hey!
15:15Hey!
15:20And?
15:23I loved it.
15:24Hmm.
15:25Traumatic, but great.
15:26When I read it at your age, it turned my world upside down.
15:30You liking Death Note?
15:34You're only in the middle.
15:36All right. It took me about a month to realize I had to read it from the back.
15:39So, considering that, I'm pretty far in.
15:41After James Joyce, you should be happy that it was under 1,000 pages.
15:44Heh-heh.
15:46Ta-da!
15:48Wow.
15:49Ember, you look so gorgeous.
15:50Yeah, how I was born, you know.
15:52But what about what I'm wearing?
15:53Beautiful.
15:54I'm not quite done yet, but I think it will turn out nice.
15:57Maybe with some lace or a bow or...
15:59That's actually my blouse, though.
16:00You've had it for 15 years. I think it's only fair that I should inherit it now.
16:07Okay.
16:09A toast to our thieving and multi-talented daughters.
16:14Who knows how it turned out so well?
16:28Dad hasn't been upstairs in years.
16:31The stairlift provided by the health insurance company
16:33broke down just a few months after the accident.
16:36It must drive him insane, but he never so much as mentions it.
16:40That's why I haven't told him that I'm saving up for a new one.
17:34KNOCK AT DOOR
17:44Can I have everything for my letter of recommendation, sir?
17:48Yeah, naturally.
17:54I've already written the letter of recommendation.
18:04I just need the documents.
18:14Listen, Ruwik, there's absolutely nothing in this I don't believe.
18:20The choices you make are no business of mine.
18:23But if someone finds out about this,
18:26the recommendation is pointless to me.
18:34I'll find someone else.
18:45Why don't you go back to Sutton and ask him?
18:47I told you, I gave him the wrong documents and he doesn't have enough time anymore.
18:50That's so useless.
18:51It was my mistake.
18:52Ever since that thing with Beaufort, you've been so weird.
18:55What happened anyway?
18:56Nothing.
18:57Absolutely nothing.
18:58I don't know.
18:59I don't know.
19:00I don't know.
19:02Absolutely nothing.
19:04I bet their headmaster Lexington hasn't given a recommendation before.
19:08Nobody would dare ask.
19:09That's exactly why I'm doing it.
19:25Let's renegotiate.
19:27Is this a daily ritual now?
19:29Don't give me money. I'll just give it back.
19:31Okay, that's enough of the Mother Teresa performance.
19:34Just tell me what you want from my family, will you?
19:38I guess to start with, I'd be happy with a restraining order for you.
19:42And Mother Teresa would have taken the money and given it to those who deserved it.
19:45You should know.
19:47You think it's a joke?
19:50Everybody has a price.
19:54What's yours, then?
19:59What?
20:11Now, what's this?
20:13A little experience with the hottest single guy at school.
20:21Is this the first time you've prostituted yourself?
20:23Does it happen often?
20:24I wasn't going to take your money.
20:26As I happen to know, you're a little bit short right now.
20:29Go to hell, Beaufort.
20:32Is that you trying to have a go at dirty talk?
20:36Come one step closer towards me...
20:40and I'll kick you in the bollocks.
20:43You get to the point, Robin.
20:44My name is Ruby, for God's sake.
20:46I'm not wasting my whole day here talking to you.
20:53If this means you've changed your mind,
20:55sorry, but I don't know if I'm in the mood anymore.
21:00Okay, I'll tell you my price.
21:04I just want you away from me.
21:06Assume that anything less than two meters is too close.
21:11I never want you and me to be seen together again.
21:56Yeah, let's go. Come on. Come on, don't worry.
21:58Yeah, I'll score the next one. Two-eight-three.
22:00Boys, everyone, come on. Hurry up.
22:04So, next year, most of you will end up being Oxford and Cambridge opponents.
22:09This is your last chance to rewrite the maximum old history books.
22:12Yeah!
22:14I'm sorry.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:18I'm sorry.
22:19I'm sorry.
22:20I'm sorry.
22:21I'm sorry.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:24Beaufort's my winner here.
22:27As for the past two years, make sure that this team is one that doesn't lose heart.
22:32So go out there and crush some Eastview balls.
22:35Everybody understand that?
22:37Let's go, Maxton!
22:39Maxton!
22:41Maxton!
22:42Maxton!
22:43Maxton, Maxton, Maxton, Maxton!
22:45Maxton, Maxton, Maxton!
22:47Let's go! Let's go, boys!
22:50Don't even think of getting revenge on McCormack, okay?
22:54Get out there!
22:58Don't let it bother you.
23:08Welcome to the second leg of Maxton Hall versus Eastview College in this fight for match.
23:13After the last narrow victory for Eastview,
23:15the only question is, will it be sweet revenge for Maxton Hall here on their own turf?
23:20Both teams are looking to get targeted
23:21and are focused on winning this competition throughout the break in time.
23:30Come on, boys!
23:32We're almost past it!
23:47Maxton!
23:52Get up!
23:57Go! Go!
24:01After that two-point strike, that's one-nil to Maxton Hall.
24:22Go!
24:24Yes!
24:43Ever since the change in coaching staff two terms ago,
24:46this team has made a gigantic leap forward.
24:48Coach Freeman deserves to be extremely proud of his boys.
24:51Go! Go! Go!
24:54Alistair, no!
25:06McCormack, you princess.
25:13Oh, dear. What is going on here?
25:15Come on, then! What are you waiting for?
25:17Calm down! Calm down! What are you doing?
25:19That was clearly a blatant...
25:21What did I tell you? What did I tell you? Huh?
25:24What's all this shit, then?
25:26He almost broke Kesh's neck in the last game.
25:28It's only fair to get him back for that.
25:31Get your stupid bloody arse over here.
25:33Off the field!
25:36As McCormack receives medical attention,
25:38Ellington has quite rightly been sent off the field.
25:43The tension has dispersed and the mood seems to have calmed down again.
25:46So play well after the game.
25:51This change of destiny will set up at some part
25:54if it's better to have taken the chance.
25:57If you're looking for all the action, it's over there.
26:02Thanks.
26:03But I preferred it when they were wrestling out there.
26:06McCormack was heading for even more of a battering,
26:08but the ref quickly got involved.
26:10If she was playing for Eastview, they'd have a greater chance.
26:13Yeah!
26:20Attack!
26:30Alistair.
26:43I can tell that you're actually a hard-core lacrosse fan.
26:47Oh, yeah.
26:48I've been pitch-side for all the games.
26:50Haven't you seen me?
26:51I'm normally a bit busy out there.
26:53Yeah.
26:54Beating up the opposition, I guess.
27:03Sir, shall we take a photo of you watching the match?
27:06This will look amazing.
27:07Careful!
27:08It was nice meeting you, Alistair.
27:11Sir, do you have a minute?
27:13You can see that I'm busy, Miss Bell.
27:15It'll only take two minutes, I promise.
27:17I wanted to ask if you could write me a letter of recommendation
27:20for my Oxford application.
27:22You've left it very late in the day for this to happen.
27:25You're the best person at this school
27:27to write a recommendation letter.
27:29I thought I'd at least see if you had a little time.
27:31We both have a lot of time.
27:33I'm sorry.
27:34I'm sorry.
27:35I'm sorry.
27:36I'm sorry.
27:37I'm sorry.
27:38I'm sorry.
27:39I'm sorry.
27:40We both know you're a very good student.
27:42Exemplar, in fact.
27:43But you're not doing enough to earn my recommendation at this time.
27:46Not for Oxford.
27:49Come to think of it,
27:50over these last two years,
27:51I've hardly even been aware of your presence at Maxwell Hall, Miss Bell.
27:55Do you know why that is?
27:57I'm chairing the event committee this year,
27:59among other things, with Lynn Wine.
28:01Oh, yes, right. Right.
28:03How's it going with the welcome party?
28:05The prep is nearly done.
28:07This event is the very first impression
28:10that our new students and their parents get of our school
28:13before thousands of pounds are handed over each year to be a student here.
28:16This year, we have a few very prominent new students,
28:19so it's important that it all goes without a hitch.
28:21I understand that, sir.
28:22If you show that you're a good team leader and everything goes as I wish,
28:26I see no reason why I couldn't produce this letter for you then.
28:34Miss Bell.
28:36Can you do me a favour?
28:40You look back. How's my picture?
28:45Go on! Go on! Go on!
28:52Yeah!
28:54Yes!
28:57Awesome!
29:00Yes!
29:01What were you doing with Alistair?
29:17Nothing.
29:18Why?
29:19I don't know what your idea is, Belle.
29:23And being honest, I don't really care.
29:26Someone like you can't touch people like us.
29:29Because you're nobody from some backwater hovel.
29:32No connections and even less money.
29:35So do what you want to do.
30:28Are you playing for the rugby team secretly?
30:39Eleven to five.
30:42Don't measure success based on wins, but on what improvement you're making.
30:47Plato.
30:49Tiger Woods.
30:58What do you know about Ruby Belle?
31:05Nothing.
31:08Other than that she's chairing the stupid event committee.
31:11The one the school parties are organised by?
31:13It suddenly kept quiet.
31:19Yep.
31:21It's like nothing ever happened, yeah?
31:24That's because it didn't.
32:25The elephant is one of the strongest animals in the world.
32:30And that's why the metaphor of the chained elephant has always fascinated me.
32:41An elephant could easily tear the stake out of the ground that it's chained to.
32:50But no matter how big and strong it is,
32:52it's conviction that it is powerless keeps it chained in place.
33:03People are no different.
33:05Our fears and prejudices keep us from realising our full potential.
33:10From following our dreams.
33:24I am lucky, since I know that there is only a small stake holding me.
33:28And I'm working on pulling it out, little by little, a bit more every year.
33:39I won't let myself be chained to a stake.
33:42And certainly not by someone like James Beaufort.
34:12Hey!
34:24Only this evening stands between me and my recommendation for Oxford.
34:28And I'll make sure everything, and I mean everything, goes smoothly.
34:34Keep the glasses full.
35:01Excuse me.
35:04Yeah, I'd do anything for a lane event.
35:06Shall we go up, gent?
35:08Yeah, let's go then.
35:10To all my fans! See ya!
35:28Can I, uh...
35:31Can I talk to you for a minute?
35:48Here we go.
36:03What you saw before was absolutely unacceptable.
36:12I knew you were secretly into brunettes.
36:17But it's really not what you think.
36:18Miss Beaufort and I...
36:20I mean, we didn't meet as teacher and student.
36:22We'd met each other elsewhere previously.
36:24Sir, it's nothing to do with me.
36:25What you saw will never happen again.
36:27But...
36:29I want you to know that I'm very sorry to have put you in such an uncomfortable situation.
36:40My compliments.
36:43You know, it's exactly how I would have done it.
36:49Thank you, sir.
37:03Thank you, sir.
37:27Thank you, sir.
37:55Thank you, sir.
38:00Thank you, sir.
38:01Thank you, sir.
38:02Thank you, sir.
38:03Thank you, sir.
38:05Hey!
38:29Ruby!
38:35Hang on.
38:36Thank you.
38:48Hey!
38:49Turn the music off!
38:50Music off!
38:53My party's ruined!
38:54Oh, shit!
38:58Let's go.
39:06Oh!
39:08Hi, Robin.
39:09Is everything okay?
39:10Do you even care that we've all worked our asses off for this special event?
39:13Well, you didn't want a striptease from me.
39:14I assume that one of these guys might be to your particular preference.
39:18If I can't make you keep quiet, Robin,
39:20then I'll do everything I can to make sure no one believes you if you do open your mouth.
39:30Hey.
39:32Lexington wants to talk to you.
39:35Both of you.
39:49You have both disappointed me immensely this evening.
39:53As I'm sure you know.
39:57That's more than enough smugness from you, Mr. Beaufort.
40:01Someone saw you with the DJ paying her off.
40:07Oops.
40:09So you've earned yourself a lacrosse team suspension.
40:13And, Miss Bell, your letter of recommendation.
40:15Out of the question.
40:19I would expect you to have an event like this under control as chair of the event committee.
40:24But thanks to Mr. Beaufort's clever little prank,
40:27I don't have anything positive to report about your organizational abilities.
40:32Unless, of course, there's something else about this situation I should be aware of?
40:38About you or Mr. Beaufort?
41:01No, sir.
41:11I should have done better, and I take your guidance very seriously.
41:14So rest assured I'll give the upcoming donor gala full attention to detail.
41:18And then you'll have a chance to form a better opinion about my organizational ability.
41:34Another catastrophe would simply be shut down immediately.
41:39I can assure you that that wouldn't go on.
41:45Not if I'm in charge of it.
41:50If that's true,
41:52then Mr. Beaufort can invest his newfound free time in the event committee alongside you, Miss Bell,
41:57to make up for his unwanted intervention.
42:01And both of you, attending to every last detail,
42:04will deliver a spectacular event to repair this school's reputation,
42:08which you've just sullied with your reckless behavior.
42:14Then we'll see about your recommendation, Miss Bell.
42:18It's impossible to use him on my committee, he's unreliable and arrogant!
42:21This is absolutely mad!
42:28I suppose you should be happy.
42:29Amused a little, yeah.
42:31As if I'm going to let someone like you give me instructions.
42:35Because you're a Beaufort man, yeah?
42:37Exactly, yeah.
42:39You can belittle me all you want, I'm not scared, don't worry.
42:44I do a really good job on this committee,
42:46and I'm not going to waste my opportunity to go to Oxford for anyone.
42:51So...
42:55Do what you want to do.
43:04You want a war, Ruby Bell?
43:10You've got one.
43:33Oh, I never asked to become famous
43:40But I guess, but I guess that's who I am
43:49The way the world turns
43:55The way the light burns
