00:00:00You ready to party? I don't think we've pre-gamed enough gaming girls to wait for that.
00:00:15The game has begun. I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:00:19No, it's too late. You've done this yourself. And I quote,
00:00:23I don't want to spend my entire college career reading about other people's sex lives.
00:00:27This is the last party of our college career. And even if you don't get laid, just dance and have a good time.
00:00:37OK, OK, you're right. Let's go.
00:00:45So you're falling for me. I, uh, thanks.
00:00:56Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.
00:00:59That's exactly what it was. It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories. It felt just too real and too fast.
00:01:06Wait, wait, wait. Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on?
00:01:10It's not smut. OK, he writes about love and tragedies and everything in between.
00:01:15And I don't just read them. We talk about them, about ourselves, about what it means to be alive.
00:01:22Hon, you never even met this guy.
00:01:26I was going to Megan. We had set up a date and he ghosted me.
00:01:31I don't think I can forgive him, but I can't forget him. I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.
00:01:36Uh-huh, yeah. OK, so tonight we are undoing all that damage. You take this.
00:01:41And I need to dance, so see ya.
00:01:45Wait, he's leaving me?
00:01:49Megan!
00:01:51Are you enjoying me, girl?
00:01:53Oh, or go see if your lover boy wants to dip you again.
00:01:57There we go.
00:02:01Oh, God, no.
00:02:23Oh, God.
00:02:24Hey.
00:02:25I'm good, thank you.
00:02:27Keep it great.
00:02:30Did you really think that was going to work, creep?
00:02:33You want to raise a hand? Raise one of these.
00:02:36It's cool, dude, really, it's cool. I've been drinking a little bit.
00:02:39I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out.
00:02:44It's cool, it's cool.
00:02:54Are you OK?
00:02:56I don't go to many parties, this is all.
00:03:00Go back, he's gone.
00:03:03That's twice tonight, I save you. Do you like playing damsel in distress?
00:03:08No, you're my damsel, I'm your knight.
00:03:13Never mind.
00:03:15What?
00:03:16Goodbye.
00:03:21OK, OK.
00:03:25Hi, excuse me, sorry, so sorry.
00:03:28OK, bye.
00:03:31Oh, my God, what is going on? What happened?
00:03:34I don't know why I thought I could just go out for one night and expect everything to go perfectly.
00:03:38I'm an idiot. I had one guy almost hit me.
00:03:40Hit you? Wait, who? Where?
00:03:42He's gone, and the guy who caught me earlier saved me again, and I thought he was flirting with me, so I tried to throw it back.
00:03:48But I screwed that up.
00:03:50Hey, he's a guy, it's harder to screw up your chances than you think.
00:03:53He probably thinks I'm insane. I think I called him my knight.
00:03:57I don't know, I'm trying to block it all out already.
00:04:00You win some, you lose some.
00:04:02Let's just go home and binge some ice cream and go more girls.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:09Hey, damsel, wait up.
00:04:12Julie, be cool.
00:04:15She had run far.
00:04:17Trying to outrun her own heart.
00:04:20Wait, is that from Forgotten Garden?
00:04:23Yeah, and you played for Reader.
00:04:25And as a runner, where are you going?
00:04:27I just thought it was better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting.
00:04:31Maybe forever.
00:04:34Was that what all that falling down and getting into fights was?
00:04:38Us flirting?
00:04:40Or even trying to save me back there?
00:04:43I'll be your damsel if you play my knight that rescues me.
00:04:48I'm actually really glad you can say that.
00:04:51Well, how about the truth?
00:04:53My friend dragged me to this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life.
00:04:57And I think you're super hot, but I'm way too much of a wuss to do anything about that.
00:05:07How's that for fun?
00:05:13Hi.
00:05:26What?
00:05:28I want to hear you say it.
00:05:30Say what?
00:05:36That you want me now.
00:05:39I want you now.
00:06:44Oh.
00:06:46So you're leaving.
00:06:48Well, you know I've got to take my shirt, too.
00:06:50Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.
00:06:54We did.
00:06:56You said you wanted to have some fun, and we got it.
00:06:59Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now.
00:07:01Look, I'm just really not looking for anything beyond one night.
00:07:04The shirt, the staying over.
00:07:08I can only break so many of my own rules.
00:07:10Here.
00:07:12I'd hate for you to break some of your made-up rules.
00:07:28Oh, my God.
00:07:30That does not look like the kind of thing you're supposed to be doing.
00:07:34Oh, my God.
00:07:36That does not look like the face of one who's just had the best night of her life.
00:07:40It's not.
00:07:42Oh, honey.
00:07:44What happened?
00:07:46It's like there was something about this guy.
00:07:48He and I were getting along so well.
00:07:51He was passionate, but smart, too.
00:07:54He quoted my favorite book, The Forgotten Garden.
00:07:57Yeah, never heard of that.
00:07:59But he sounds like your exact type.
00:08:01That's all that matters.
00:08:03But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hype.
00:08:08Oh, he's one of those?
00:08:10He basically kicked me out of the house.
00:08:12What?
00:08:14I'm telling you, he's two different people, and one of them wants nothing to do with me.
00:08:18Damn.
00:08:20Well, the beauty of one-night stands is that you'll never have to see his face again.
00:08:25But what if he's in my class?
00:08:27No, no way.
00:08:29He probably doesn't even go here.
00:08:31He's probably one of those locals that likes to hang around college kids.
00:08:35Yeah, gross.
00:08:37I'm going to shower.
00:08:39Yeah, get washed up.
00:08:59Good morning, class.
00:09:26And welcome to the start of a new year.
00:09:28I know you all must be thrilled to see me after I announced my retirement last year.
00:09:33But I'm sorry to say your joy will be short-lived.
00:09:37Or is it short-lived?
00:09:39Anyway, for the first two weeks of this semester, I will be showing your new creative writing professor the ropes he's running behind.
00:09:46Oh my God, if it's Professor McSteamy I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.
00:09:51Ah, here he is now.
00:09:52Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:57Oh my God, that's him.
00:09:59This is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor, but he was one of my best students not too long ago.
00:10:07I assure you, you are in capable hands.
00:10:12Anything you'd like to say?
00:10:16Yeah, it's great to be here.
00:10:19It's a good day.
00:10:21Looking forward to it.
00:10:25I promise you, he's much better on the page.
00:10:32All right, folks, that's it. Thanks. See you tomorrow. At least he will.
00:10:47Hey, I'm sorry.
00:10:50Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:52It's Jace, right? It's Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:55I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior that morning, and I hope that we can keep what happened in our personal lives out of the class.
00:11:02Oh, don't worry. You already made it crystal clear that you want me nowhere near your personal life.
00:11:07Look, this is just as a surprise to me as it is to you. It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like...
00:11:13Like I was trash on garbage day?
00:11:15Julie, that's not it. Do you want me to be honest?
00:11:19Yes, Mr. Mitchell.
00:11:21Honestly, I didn't know I was going to be a professor that night.
00:11:26I just finished grad school. No clue where to go from there.
00:11:30And if I had known, I probably wouldn't have even followed you outside and all the rest.
00:11:36You're not the only one who regrets what we did, but don't worry. It'll never happen again.
00:11:52Hmm.
00:11:59Hey, Julie!
00:12:01You good? What's got you all worked up?
00:12:04Do you remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?
00:12:07Yeah. Wait, he's in one of your classes, isn't he?
00:12:11Sort of. He's teaching it.
00:12:14Shut up. I know this is horrible.
00:12:17Oh my god. I mean, why though? It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.
00:12:20Miss, you forgot something.
00:12:22You left it in the hallway. I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without it.
00:12:26Well, thank you. That was very nice.
00:12:28Well, it was pretty selfish.
00:12:30I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found, I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful face light up when I return it.
00:12:39This is Tuli.
00:12:40Oh, I know. I'm in her creative writing class.
00:12:43I'm Armand. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:12:47Okay, quite the charmer.
00:12:49In France, we never hold back when we see something we like.
00:12:57I'm telling you, that French guy is so into you.
00:13:01He seems like the type that'd be into anybody.
00:13:03What? No, he was treating me like I wasn't even there.
00:13:08Which is absolutely crazy.
00:13:11Oh my god.
00:13:12What?
00:13:13He put his name in my phone.
00:13:15Oh, girl, he likes you.
00:13:19I know, but the crazy thing is, is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.
00:13:26Oh, please. It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.
00:13:31Forget him. Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover. Okay?
00:13:38Good guys are hard to come by nowadays. You better hop on that before somebody else does.
00:13:45Trash. Garbage, too.
00:14:15Hey, Tooey.
00:14:39Hey, Tooey.
00:14:40Chase. Mr. Mitchell. I didn't know you wrote.
00:14:45Well, why would I teach others how to write if I wasn't doing it myself?
00:14:49More professors should have that attitude. What's the quote? Those who can't do, teach?
00:14:54Teachers do plenty. Knowledge is a thing that gives a person power.
00:14:59Who is that, Lockhart?
00:15:01I'm glad I got one student who reads. Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:15:06You sound like Professor Connor.
00:15:08That's fine, as long as you don't think I look like him.
00:15:13What are those?
00:15:14From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.
00:15:17You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?
00:15:19I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.
00:15:21That wasn't a no.
00:15:23I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate. Isn't that what you want?
00:15:27What I want doesn't matter. What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:15:33Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.
00:15:38I can manage if you can.
00:15:40Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.
00:15:43Thank you for dropping off the papers, but next time only visit when you really need me.
00:15:48You won't be seeing much of me then.
00:15:50Julie.
00:16:02Armand.
00:16:03I was waiting for you to call.
00:16:05Sorry, I've just been distracted.
00:16:08What is it? A face as beautiful does not deserve a frown.
00:16:11I just... It's nothing. One of my teachers is an ass.
00:16:16Sounds like you need a break from school.
00:16:19Let me cheer you up. Whatever you want.
00:16:22How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon, we watch a French movie, and we have a little tour of France?
00:16:28How does that sound?
00:16:30That might get me out of it.
00:16:32Yeah? How about dancing?
00:16:34Would you like that?
00:16:47Let's go.
00:16:53So what do you think? Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:16:58Nothing ever does. But it was good.
00:17:01Well, good for you then, because I have another one for you.
00:17:04There is a screening of L'Avignon Rose this Friday. One of my favorites. Would you come with me?
00:17:11Friday is actually my birthday.
00:17:13That sounds nice. I don't have anything planned.
00:17:16Because I'm cool with that.
00:17:18Your birthday? I mean, truly, a movie won't do it.
00:17:22Like, you deserve a party.
00:17:24Let me host a, what do you say, a big bash?
00:17:28We barely know each other. You don't have to do it.
00:17:32Please, Tully, I insist. Let me do that for you.
00:17:35Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year. The year of Tully.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:55Tully? What are you doing?
00:17:58I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.
00:18:01What? I thought everything with Armand was going so good.
00:18:05It did.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Adam's just been on my mind lately, and I can't figure out why.
00:18:10Okay, you have to show me something of his. There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:18:14Okay.
00:18:17Here. The blue blossom fields matched her eyes, and the spirit within them.
00:18:21That life, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.
00:18:27I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.
00:18:33My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:18:38Damn. That is good.
00:18:41Too bad he's not real.
00:18:43He was real, Megan.
00:18:45Uh-huh.
00:18:46But he just... vanished.
00:18:50I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:18:53Honey, Armand is a real-life human with real-life humans, I'm gonna tell you.
00:19:00And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:19:03He won't ghost you like Adam. I won't let him.
00:19:09That's enough of that, okay?
00:19:12Get ready for your party.
00:19:16Okay.
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:37Tuli.
00:19:38Hey.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:42Come in.
00:19:43Everyone, say hi to Tuli, it's her birthday.
00:19:45Happy birthday!
00:19:48Armand, come on, let's go to the club, it'll be fun.
00:19:52No, Lucia.
00:20:01Come dance with me.
00:20:03Sorry, I'm gonna fail.
00:20:05Okay, but before the end of the night we're dancing, right?
00:20:11Here.
00:20:12Take this.
00:20:15Tuli, look, look at this party.
00:20:17Look at what Armand is doing for you, okay?
00:20:20Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get with your wife.
00:20:24It's real life.
00:20:26Okay, alright!
00:20:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:37Tuli, look at you.
00:20:39You should go to ballroom dancing sometimes.
00:20:41You love dancing, don't you?
00:20:44No.
00:20:45There's something else that I love more, though.
00:20:47Armand, I've had too much to drink.
00:20:49Tuli, look what I've done for you.
00:20:51Let's have a good time.
00:20:52I was having fun.
00:20:54Come to my room, I'll show you your birthday gift.
00:20:56Armand, don't do this.
00:20:58Tuli, you're making a scene right now.
00:21:00I'm gonna make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:21:02Leave it.
00:21:14Tuli?
00:21:16Oh, it's you.
00:21:18Are you okay?
00:21:20No, I'm walking home.
00:21:22How far away is your place?
00:21:24I'm almost there.
00:21:26Just three, four more miles.
00:21:31Okay, come on.
00:21:33I'm gonna take you home after your glass of wine.
00:21:35No, I'm not going.
00:21:37I'm not going.
00:21:39Three more miles.
00:21:40Okay, come on.
00:21:42I'm gonna take you home after your glass of water.
00:21:44What do you care?
00:21:46Tuli, I'm trying to help you.
00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep it professional-based, Mr. Mitchell.
00:21:58I am not your professor right now.
00:22:00I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.
00:22:05Come on.
00:22:10You really care, don't you?
00:22:13Like more than just someone wanting me to get home safe.
00:22:17You care about me.
00:22:20I'm trying so hard not to.
00:22:23You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.
00:22:27It wouldn't be right either.
00:22:30That's the thing.
00:22:33I may seem wrong, but it's just what I'm told.
00:22:39What was that?
00:22:48My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:23:04I love you.
00:23:06I love you.
00:23:32I had to go run an errand.
00:23:34Coffee in the kitchen, Advil on the counter.
00:23:37Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:23:49Jeez, Tuli!
00:23:51Why weren't you off with the call to cops?
00:23:53I'm sorry.
00:23:54Honey.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:58I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.
00:24:02My phone died and I ended up staying with Chase.
00:24:06Oh my God.
00:24:08Please tell me you didn't sleep with your professor again.
00:24:10I didn't.
00:24:11He just took care of me.
00:24:13That doesn't sound any better.
00:24:15No, it's...
00:24:17We didn't do anything.
00:24:18I made an idiot of myself and passed out.
00:24:21That's it.
00:24:22The important thing is you're safe.
00:24:24I'm just glad you're home, honey.
00:24:26I know.
00:24:33Tuli.
00:24:35Chase.
00:24:37Are you feeling better?
00:24:39I am, thanks.
00:24:41I wanted to apologize.
00:24:43I wasn't...
00:24:45I wasn't in a good place.
00:24:48Thank you for taking care of me.
00:24:50Of course.
00:24:52I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for the best.
00:24:57Not exactly the Friday night you wanted.
00:24:59For the best.
00:25:00Not exactly the Friday night you wanted to deal with, I'm sure.
00:25:03I didn't mind the company.
00:25:06Well, I could have been better.
00:25:09You want to keep things professional and that certainly didn't help.
00:25:14I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.
00:25:18Do you?
00:25:21Thanks.
00:25:27This is a bad idea.
00:25:29I could lose my job.
00:25:31I could get kicked out of school.
00:25:33The risk is too high.
00:25:34We've got to keep this completely academic.
00:25:36I'm glad we agreed.
00:25:51The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:25:57Anything else is just too messy.
00:26:00And you can do that.
00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.
00:26:06Oh, God, I hate the sound of that.
00:26:09Then we don't have to close anything.
00:26:11Just our dirty little secret.
00:26:20Not here.
00:26:51Safe.
00:26:59Love is divine only and difficult always.
00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?
00:27:07Toni Morrison.
00:27:08Great job, Tuli.
00:27:10Great job, Tuli.
00:27:12But she hears that every night.
00:27:14She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:27:16I'm going to visit his office later today and maybe I'll get some extra credit, too.
00:27:20You wouldn't need the extra credit if you'd actually pay attention instead of talking about me.
00:27:23I'm not the only one talking about you.
00:27:25Ladies, please.
00:27:27So, we're talking about cognitive dissonance and how it can be more than a useful tool.
00:27:33How sometimes it's everything that it means to be human.
00:27:38Now, last night I read some of your papers.
00:27:43I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.
00:27:47Or I should say Toni's talking about.
00:27:58You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you and they're starting to bring me into it now, too.
00:28:04You have no reason to be jealous. Trust me.
00:28:07I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:28:10Uh-huh.
00:28:17Dinner is ready.
00:28:20Tuli, that's my novel. It's not...
00:28:22I love it.
00:28:24I'm only a few pages in, but I absolutely love it.
00:28:27I do have a few notes, though.
00:28:30Oh, you have some notes, do you?
00:28:32Yeah. It's a diamond in the rough.
00:28:35I'll show you the rough.
00:28:41Which character grew up in Hades?
00:28:45Uh, John T...
00:28:49Oh, I'll get it.
00:28:56Hi. Could I talk to Tuli?
00:28:59I'll check.
00:29:01It's Armand.
00:29:10I'll be in the other room if you need me.
00:29:16Hi. I'm sorry for how I acted.
00:29:22Not just for trying to kiss you, but I shouldn't have let you go without making sure you had a safe way home.
00:29:29I made it home safe. Bumped into an old friend.
00:29:32Please tell me I didn't ruin anything between us.
00:29:35I'm trying to keep up with you and I'd like to make it up to you.
00:29:39And I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:29:44Hey, why don't we go on a date together? I mean, a real one.
00:29:48Just you and I. No French film. No party. Just us.
00:29:53What do you think about that?
00:29:55Not right now.
00:30:04So, are you gonna go out with him?
00:30:07I don't know. I told him not right now.
00:30:10Is it because of the party? I totally get that.
00:30:13Well, um, I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:30:19Ooh, spicy!
00:30:21Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.
00:30:26Tuli?
00:30:28No, Tuli!
00:30:31Well, it better be hot.
00:30:33Oh, it's hot.
00:30:34You're gonna get in trouble, girl!
00:30:36I am the trouble!
00:30:38Come here!
00:30:41Just be careful, okay?
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:49What does your piece have to say?
00:30:51Behind everything written on the page,
00:30:53what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?
00:30:56For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tuli's Mockingbird.
00:31:03To kill a Mockingbird. Excuse me.
00:31:08What was I saying?
00:31:15You're gonna get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:31:18I'm the one who's gonna get into trouble.
00:31:20And you've loved it, I can tell.
00:31:22I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:31:27That's not to love.
00:31:29Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.
00:31:31No, shut up.
00:31:32Or Catch-22 it.
00:31:33I am shutting you up, Ben.
00:31:52Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester, my mom's totally gonna cut off my meal card.
00:31:57Yeah, I know, who does that?
00:31:59Like, totally psychotic.
00:32:01I'm already suffering enough.
00:32:10Hello, Mr. Mitchell.
00:32:12Hey, Sandra.
00:32:13I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.
00:32:15Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:17Is everything okay?
00:32:19Yeah, it's all part of the grading process.
00:32:24Interesting.
00:32:26Thanks, we'll see you next week.
00:32:30Bye.
00:32:36That was too close.
00:32:38No more of that here.
00:32:40I'll see you later tonight, then?
00:32:43No, wait a few seconds.
00:32:45It might still be out there.
00:32:46Oh, yeah?
00:32:47What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:32:49Anything what we were doing before.
00:33:00Damn.
00:33:01My notebook.
00:33:15That bastard.
00:33:16That's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:33:18I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:33:20I know.
00:33:21I know.
00:33:22I know.
00:33:23I know.
00:33:24I know.
00:33:25I know.
00:33:26I know.
00:33:27I know.
00:33:28I can't believe he let him lead me on like that.
00:33:30You think he could be married?
00:33:31I don't know.
00:33:32Should I call him, confront him?
00:33:33Mm-mm.
00:33:34Drop him.
00:33:35If he's going to treat you like you're nothing, you should do the same.
00:33:38I say call him on.
00:33:40He wants to take you out on a real date, right?
00:33:43Yeah, but Jace is—
00:33:45The Jace is your teacher, and you're his student.
00:33:49But what else is he hiding from you if he's, like, seeing this other woman?
00:33:52You're right.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:54Let's party.
00:33:59Armand?
00:34:00I think—
00:34:03I think I changed my mind about that date.
00:34:07Your date with Armand is going to be so cute.
00:34:10I bet that he knows all the best French restaurants around here.
00:34:14He says they're all awful.
00:34:16We're getting sushi.
00:34:17What?
00:34:23Oh, it's my dad.
00:34:26Hey, Dad.
00:34:28Hey.
00:34:33What?
00:34:34It's a regular move.
00:34:39And that's all, everyone.
00:34:41Come back Monday with those revisions, and have a great weekend.
00:34:56Hey, it's Julie.
00:34:57Just leave me a message.
00:35:08Hi. Is Julie here?
00:35:10Sorry, I'm alone. She's not here.
00:35:12Can you give her that?
00:35:13Thanks.
00:35:15Bye.
00:35:16Bye.
00:35:22Hello?
00:35:23There's a rain check on Armand, but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these.
00:35:27Tulips?
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:31They're so pretty.
00:35:43Come on. Tell me what's going on.
00:35:45Really, it's nothing.
00:35:48BS. I know when you've got girl problems.
00:35:53I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.
00:35:57That's enough to deal with.
00:36:02I can always tell.
00:36:04Face it, bro. Twin intuition is a real thing.
00:36:07That really only seems to go one way.
00:36:10Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.
00:36:13You're on the next great American novel.
00:36:15So you wish, anyway.
00:36:22Your phone's been going off all night, and you keep declining it.
00:36:25I don't want to get involved.
00:36:28I think she's seeing someone else, so I...
00:36:31So...
00:36:33You're ghosting her?
00:36:35Oh my god, I'm shocked.
00:36:38Jace Mitchell vanishing at the slightest bump in the road.
00:36:41Janelle, I tried to settle down, and marriage didn't work for me.
00:36:47Brooke didn't work for you.
00:36:50Don't blame the entire institution on one psychotic ex.
00:36:54You can bounce back.
00:36:56I can't get over everything so easy.
00:36:58And I tried.
00:37:00My heart wasn't in it.
00:37:02I'm better off just not starting down that path again.
00:37:06Jace.
00:37:08Jace.
00:37:10Come on, do you really believe that?
00:37:25Jace.
00:37:29Jace, I'm sorry I missed class.
00:37:32It's been a rough few days.
00:37:33Oh yeah, I bet.
00:37:34I saw Armand chilling up at your house with flowers.
00:37:36Are you guys dating?
00:37:39No.
00:37:41So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?
00:37:43What do you care if I'm dating someone?
00:37:44You're not exactly single yourself, are you?
00:37:49I can see you're busy.
00:37:50I'll leave you two alone.
00:37:51No, Tuli, come back.
00:37:52I want you to meet someone.
00:37:54Janelle, is this Tuli?
00:37:56Tuli is my sister, Janelle.
00:38:00So, you're the one that's got my brother all twisted up.
00:38:03The one that's got my brother all twisted up in knots.
00:38:05Janelle.
00:38:06I'm sorry, I don't know why I just showed up like this.
00:38:09Tuli, no need to apologize.
00:38:11You both started this off badly.
00:38:13Come inside.
00:38:22Jace, be a good host and get the bottle of wine.
00:38:25And another glass.
00:38:27Okay.
00:38:33Sorry for your loss.
00:38:35Was she a good woman?
00:38:37The best.
00:38:39She took care of us when my mom and dad broke up.
00:38:41She was the only thing that got me through it.
00:38:44Our parents broke up too.
00:38:45Did Jace tell you that?
00:38:47He doesn't really talk about himself, not really.
00:38:50I don't even know his middle name.
00:38:53Jace and I are just...
00:38:55We're just having a fling, no feelings.
00:38:59So he says.
00:39:01Why does he keep pushing me away then?
00:39:03Hiding himself when I know he wants to open up.
00:39:07He's a closed book.
00:39:08I know.
00:39:10We went through a really rough time growing up.
00:39:12And it's not my story to tell, but he has his reasons.
00:39:25I love you.
00:39:33I'll let you two talk.
00:39:45I'm sorry for lashing out.
00:39:48You're grieving.
00:39:50Believe me, I understand.
00:39:55Tell me about her.
00:40:00Grandma was always there for us.
00:40:02More than your normal, sweet old grandma.
00:40:06She was special.
00:40:08Patient, kind.
00:40:12Everything that my mom wasn't.
00:40:15And when my mom and dad broke up, she moved in to take care of us.
00:40:20My first romance novels were the ones that I would sneak out of her room.
00:40:24She said it was okay.
00:40:26I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.
00:40:32I just...
00:40:37If I had known that we were going to lose her so suddenly,
00:40:39I would have spent every second that I could have with her.
00:40:43All those great things.
00:40:44Let that be what she leaves behind in this world.
00:40:48Inside you and everyone who knew her.
00:40:53Carry her with you.
00:40:55You know what she would have told me about you?
00:40:58Stay awake.
00:41:02She would have told me to stop messing around and give you my heart.
00:41:09And I would have told you that I loved you.
00:41:11And give you my heart.
00:41:14And I want to.
00:41:18Jace, I know you have feelings, don't you?
00:41:22Not just the sex, not just the fun, real feelings.
00:41:27You're in an emotional place right now. We can talk about this later.
00:41:31I know you feel it too.
00:41:33You're horrible at hiding it.
00:41:35We can't be together, Thule.
00:41:38We've crossed too many lines.
00:41:39That's bullshit and you know it. Tell me the truth.
00:41:43Why are you pushing me away? What are you afraid of?
00:41:47You don't know me.
00:41:50You don't know what I've been through.
00:41:52That's exactly what I want to know.
00:41:54You never would have let me read your book if you didn't want more.
00:41:58I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into this.
00:42:02There's too much at stake.
00:42:04No more than when we kissed in your office.
00:42:06This isn't about you being my teacher anymore.
00:42:08It's about us being serious.
00:42:11I don't know if I can.
00:42:14I don't know if you'll stay.
00:42:16My mother had her secrets.
00:42:18She left us high and dry, having planned her exit for years.
00:42:22I need to know that the man that I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.
00:42:26That is me sharing myself with you, Jace.
00:42:29Why can't you do the same?
00:42:32Keep your secrets or keep me.
00:42:38Okay.
00:42:49Jace, don't let her slip away.
00:43:08Okay.
00:43:34Thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.
00:43:36Of course, girl.
00:43:38Yes.
00:43:40Oh, I'll get it.
00:43:44Is Tuli here?
00:43:46She has a lot going on right now. I don't think she has time for you.
00:43:50Megan knows.
00:43:52Tuli, what do you even know about him?
00:43:54If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.
00:44:08You want to know why I won't commit?
00:44:11Why I can't let you in the way you want?
00:44:16I was married.
00:44:18For two years.
00:44:20And it started off great.
00:44:24I was in love.
00:44:27I thought I was, at least.
00:44:31But we fell apart.
00:44:34She cheated.
00:44:36She threatened to ruin me when I tried to leave her.
00:44:43Still, I had to get out of it.
00:44:48I had lost so much.
00:44:52I had told myself that my book would come first.
00:44:58And I didn't have time to fall for someone.
00:45:05Until I met you.
00:45:08Jeez.
00:45:35Did you like it that day?
00:45:37Stay when you get mad at it.
00:45:42And who the fuck would love you like I do?
00:45:45Those years are smarter.
00:45:47Now you're working harder.
00:45:49It was easy to love me.
00:45:52But who the fuck would?
00:45:56Armand, I'm sorry.
00:45:58We can't be together.
00:46:00I wanted to feel the same sort of passion that you felt for me, but...
00:46:03This is because of Professor Mitchell.
00:46:05What?
00:46:07What are you talking about?
00:46:09I saw him at your house today.
00:46:11I wanted to tell you about it, but it's complicated with him.
00:46:14I was never really sure about anything.
00:46:17Was our date really going to happen?
00:46:19Armand, yes.
00:46:21But I told you that my grandmother...
00:46:23Yes, yes, I know, but...
00:46:25Your heart was never really in it, was it?
00:46:27I felt pressured to be with you, Armand.
00:46:29If you read the romance novels, you're the perfect guy.
00:46:32But I don't think perfect is for me anymore.
00:46:37It's got to be more than just gestures.
00:46:40It's got to be real.
00:46:42So you think what you got with him is real?
00:46:44It's becoming more real every day.
00:46:48I just hope he feels the same for you, too.
00:46:51Or he's going to hurt you.
00:47:00Hello.
00:47:02Tully.
00:47:04I knew he was hiding something.
00:47:15Well, it's over with Armand.
00:47:19Tully, I have to tell you something about Jace.
00:47:23What?
00:47:25He, um...
00:47:26Okay, um...
00:47:28Remember when I was like,
00:47:30what do we even really know about him?
00:47:33Well, that thought stuck with me, and...
00:47:36I know you guys have been, you know, making up.
00:47:39I know I'm nosy and an awful friend.
00:47:42But please, just hear me out.
00:47:44Megan, it's fine. What did you find out?
00:47:46Okay, well, I found his faculty page and his email,
00:47:50and I decided to search it up.
00:47:52I...
00:47:54Okay, and?
00:47:56You're going to want to sit down for this one.
00:48:06Jace's website was created using the same email
00:48:10as Adam's inkit account.
00:48:27I didn't hear you come in.
00:48:29Everything okay?
00:48:31No, Jace, it's not.
00:48:33Were you ever going to tell me?
00:48:35Tell you what?
00:48:37That you're Adam.
00:48:40No wonder I loved your writing.
00:48:42I'd been reading it for years.
00:48:44Who's Adam, huh?
00:48:46Just some alter ego that you made up?
00:48:48Adam is my middle name.
00:48:50The person you were talking to was a real me.
00:48:53How long have you known?
00:48:54Was it before that first night?
00:48:56Did you plan all this?
00:48:58No, I found out when I saw you in class
00:49:01months after that first night between us.
00:49:04You said the name to one of your chapter titles,
00:49:06and I realized who you were.
00:49:08I wanted to stay away, but I couldn't.
00:49:11Then why didn't you tell me
00:49:13even when we first started seeing each other?
00:49:16I was afraid you'd think I was manipulating you.
00:49:19What else am I supposed to call it
00:49:21when that's exactly what you're doing?
00:49:22Three years ago when we were supposed to meet,
00:49:24you were married, weren't you?
00:49:28The whole time we talked online,
00:49:30you were married.
00:49:33Yes.
00:49:35Unbelievable, Jace Adam.
00:49:37I don't know which version of you
00:49:39I'm more angry with.
00:49:41It's bad enough that he's my teacher,
00:49:43but this?
00:49:45I just think back on everything between us
00:49:47and wonder
00:49:49what he's been operating on behind the scenes.
00:49:52I knew something was wrong with him.
00:49:54That's why I had to look into it.
00:49:56Thank you for being nosy.
00:49:58You're right.
00:50:00And you're also a great friend.
00:50:02I'm sorry.
00:50:04I'm sorry.
00:50:06I'm sorry.
00:50:08I'm sorry.
00:50:10Hey.
00:50:12At least it all came out now
00:50:14and no real damage was done.
00:50:16You dodged a bullet.
00:50:18Should I drop out of the class?
00:50:20Girl, absolutely not.
00:50:22We are not letting him win this one.
00:50:24Okay?
00:50:41I am not sentimental.
00:50:43I am as romantic as you are.
00:50:45The idea that you know
00:50:47is that a sentimental person
00:50:49thinks things will last.
00:50:51A romantic person
00:50:53has a desperate confidence
00:50:55that they won't.
00:50:57What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:03I don't know.
00:51:05I don't know.
00:51:07I don't know.
00:51:08What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:51:10It sounds nice
00:51:12but I don't think it's honest.
00:51:14How so?
00:51:16Because some people are neither.
00:51:19Some people just use others
00:51:21thinking that they won't last
00:51:25and then they're glad to throw them away.
00:51:38I don't know.
00:52:09So, yes,
00:52:11they called me back in
00:52:13to finish off your class.
00:52:15I'm sorry to say
00:52:17that Mr. Mitchell has resigned.
00:52:20Some administrative matter,
00:52:22that's all I'm going to say.
00:52:24So,
00:52:26help me get caught up with
00:52:28where we are in the assignment.
00:52:30From what I understand,
00:52:32you're supposed to take
00:52:34one chapter out of the
00:52:35way living novels
00:52:37and write it in your own style.
00:52:45Chase.
00:52:47Cynthia.
00:52:49I'm just packing up.
00:52:51What happened?
00:52:53You tell me.
00:52:55Look, I know you're hurt
00:52:57but I don't think you'd do anything like this.
00:53:06Julie.
00:53:08Did you do it?
00:53:10Do what?
00:53:12Tell me the truth.
00:53:14Did you report Chase to the school?
00:53:16I did report him
00:53:18because it was the right thing to do.
00:53:20Right thing?
00:53:22You only did that because I chose him over you.
00:53:24Can it be both, Julie?
00:53:26There are rules that exist
00:53:28and you can't deny that you broke them.
00:53:30Even if he doesn't hurt you,
00:53:32what is he going to do?
00:53:33Even if he doesn't hurt you,
00:53:35what is he going to do with the other student?
00:53:37The next student?
00:53:39Arman, you cost him his job, maybe his whole career.
00:53:41I did that, huh?
00:53:43What about him? What about you?
00:53:45You think you're innocent in all of that?
00:53:58I know how the investigation is going to end.
00:54:01I figured
00:54:03my suspicion would be the confirmed disgrace
00:54:05that I am.
00:54:07Doesn't this mean you can see Tuli now
00:54:09with no secrets?
00:54:11That's the best part.
00:54:13Tuli's gone.
00:54:15We're...
00:54:17we're through.
00:54:19Chase, why?
00:54:22We didn't realize it but
00:54:24we used to talk
00:54:26on a site where I would write my stories.
00:54:28I was married to Brooke.
00:54:30Things were already falling apart at that point.
00:54:34When we set an actual date,
00:54:37I knew I had gone too far.
00:54:40I knew I had to break it off.
00:54:44And by the time
00:54:46Brooke and I had divorced,
00:54:48it was too late.
00:54:50She blocked me.
00:54:52So even when we started seeing each other as,
00:54:54well,
00:54:56us,
00:54:59I still couldn't tell her.
00:55:00I knew she wouldn't forgive me
00:55:02for ghosting her,
00:55:04for lying to her.
00:55:07And she didn't.
00:55:10She turned me in.
00:55:12And I deserve it.
00:55:16Well, what you don't deserve
00:55:18is to beat yourself up about this.
00:55:21You have to find a way to move on.
00:55:30You have to move on.
00:55:52Oh, my God.
00:55:54We did it.
00:55:56No school, no books, no grades,
00:55:58no teachers.
00:56:00Well, you know, finally it's done.
00:56:02Okay, so I'm proud of you.
00:56:04You've grown so much.
00:56:06What do you say
00:56:08we go out tonight?
00:56:10Now that's what I'm talking about.
00:56:18What is it?
00:56:31Jace's novel.
00:56:33Wow.
00:56:35He actually got it published.
00:56:37Is that the one you read?
00:56:39Yeah.
00:56:41Oh, looks like he got back on his feet.
00:56:43Oh, my God.
00:56:45He wrote something
00:56:47for my damn soul,
00:56:49Adam.
00:56:51Too little, too late, right?
00:56:53Right.
00:56:55Still want to go dancing today?
00:56:57Sure, let's do it.
00:56:58I've been dying to get you into
00:57:00your little red dress.
00:57:02Let's go.
00:57:29Oh, my God.
00:57:31Good.
00:57:32Did you see the guy?
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:35Now, that's how you cap off
00:57:36a college career.
00:57:37Yeah, it is.
00:57:39Night, Megan.
00:57:40Good night.
00:57:59They stood in the winter-withered garden,
00:58:02dead flowerbeds at their feet.
00:58:04John didn't notice.
00:58:06He gazed deeply into her eyes.
00:58:08I'm ready, Victoria,
00:58:10John whispered.
00:58:13Every universe we've met,
00:58:15every time we've met,
00:58:17every time we've met,
00:58:19every time we've met,
00:58:21every time we've met,
00:58:23every time we've met,
00:58:25every time we've met,
00:58:26every universe we've met,
00:58:28every timeline,
00:58:30every version of me,
00:58:32you are the constant.
00:58:34You're the one thing I can't change,
00:58:36and I'll never want to.
00:58:39He placed a flower in her hand.
00:58:41It was a tulip.
00:58:44Not dead, no.
00:58:46It was in full bloom.
00:58:56It was in full bloom.
00:59:20Oh, no.
00:59:27Oh, no.
00:59:35Your timing is astounding.
00:59:37Jace is moving?
00:59:39He got a publishing deal.
00:59:41And besides, I mean, nothing's keeping him here anyways, right?
00:59:45I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here.
00:59:54Looks like you followed for me.
00:59:56Again and again.
00:59:58You're leaving?
01:00:00What about the line in the book?
01:00:02You left it on my doorstep for a reason.
01:00:05I wanted to be honest with you one last time.
01:00:08And the only way I thought you'd be willing to listen,
01:00:11after everything I'd done.
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:15I gotta go.
01:00:17You're not getting off that easy.
01:00:19I need you to be open with me, Jace.
01:00:21Not through a book.
01:00:23I had always run from commitment.
01:00:26I thought I was done with that life.
01:00:28But when we started seeing each other,
01:00:30keeping our secret,
01:00:33I thought I'd keep my old life in the past.
01:00:37But I realized we only connected because of our past.
01:00:43Whether you knew it or not,
01:00:46I am so sorry
01:00:48I didn't let you know the moment I realized.
01:00:50No matter which version of you it is,
01:00:53I keep falling for you.
01:00:55And I'm done running.
01:00:58Don't listen to them.
01:01:12Where are we running off to then?
01:01:14How does New York City sound?
01:01:15All my love
01:01:17All my love
01:01:19I have only love for you
01:01:24More than enough
01:01:26More than enough
01:01:28The simple way we move
01:01:33Through this day, this life, this madness
01:01:38You're the constant and the constant
01:01:42You're the constant and the constant
01:01:47All my love
01:01:49All my love
01:01:51I have only love for you
