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, too late. You've only missed 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.
00:00:30And 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.
00:00:57Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.
00:01:00That's exactly what it was. It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories.
00:01:04It felt just too real and too fast. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:07Adam, 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.
00:01:34I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.
00:01:36Oh, 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, come on.
00:01:51Enjoy 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, no.
00:02:23Oh, hey.
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'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out.
00:02:44It's cool.
00:02:54Are you OK?
00:02:57I don't go to many parties. This is my one.
00:03:00Go back. He's gone.
00:03:03That's twice and I save you.
00:03:05Do you like my damsel in distress?
00:03:08No, you're my damsel. I'm your knight.
00:03:13Never mind.
00:03:15What?
00:03:17Goodbye.
00:03:21Oh, 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.
00:03:45And 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?
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23So how'd you pay 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 did 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?
00:05:21What?
00:05:22I want to hear you say it.
00:05:24Say what?
00:05:30That you want me now.
00:05:33I want you now.
00:05:51I want you now.
00:06:21I want you now.
00:06:51Oh, so you're leaving.
00:06:54Well, you know I've got to take my shirt, too.
00:06:56Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.
00:07:00We did.
00:07:01You said you wanted to have some fun, and you got it.
00:07:04Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now.
00:07:06Look, I'm just really not looking for anything beyond one night.
00:07:10The shirt, staying over.
00:07:13I can only break so many of my own rules.
00:07:16Here.
00:07:17I'd hate for you to break some of your made-up rules.
00:07:36Oh, my God.
00:07:37That does not look like the face of someone who just had the best night of her life.
00:07:42It's not.
00:07:43Oh, honey.
00:07:45What happened?
00:07:46It's like there was something about this guy.
00:07:49He 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.
00:08:02But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hyde.
00:08:07Oh, he's one of those?
00:08:10He basically kicked me out of the house.
00:08:12What?
00:08:13I'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.
00:08:38I'm gonna shower.
00:08:39Yeah, get washed up.
00:08:43Okay.
00:09:13Okay.
00:09:14Give me a pencil.
00:09:17Oh, my God.
00:09:20Good morning, class, and welcome to the start of a new year.
00:09:27Now, I 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.
00:09:36Or is it short-lived?
00:09:38Well, anyway, for the first two weeks of this semester,
00:09:41I will be showing your new creative writing professor the ropes he's running all behind.
00:09:46Oh, my God, if it's Professor McSteamy I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.
00:09:50Ah, here he is now.
00:09:52Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:56Oh, my God, that's him.
00:09:58Now, this is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor, but he was one of my best students not too long ago.
00:10:06I assure you, you are in capable hands.
00:10:11Anything you'd like to say?
00:10:15Yeah, it's great to be here.
00:10:18It's a good day.
00:10:20Looking forward to it.
00:10:22Teaching.
00:10:26I promise you, he's much better on the page.
00:10:33All right, folks, that's it.
00:10:34Thanks.
00:10:35See you tomorrow.
00:10:36At least he will.
00:10:45Nice to meet you.
00:10:48Hey, I'm sorry, who are we?
00:10:51Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:52It's Chase, right?
00:10:54It's Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:55I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior that morning,
00:10:58and I hope that we can keep what happened in our personal lives out of the class.
00:11:03Oh, don't worry.
00:11:04You 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.
00:11:10It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like—
00:11:13Like I was trash on garbage day?
00:11:15Thule, that's not it.
00:11:17Do 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.
00:11:25I'd just finished grad school, no clue where to go from there.
00:11:30If 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.
00:11:40It'll never happen again.
00:11:59Hey, Thule!
00:12:01You good?
00:12:02What's got you all worked up?
00:12:04Do you remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?
00:12:07Yeah.
00:12:08Wait, he's in one of your classes, isn't he?
00:12:11Sort of.
00:12:13He's teaching it.
00:12:14Shut up!
00:12:15I know, this is horrible.
00:12:17Oh, my God.
00:12:18I mean, why though?
00:12:19It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.
00:12:20Miss, you forgot something.
00:12:23You left it in the hallway.
00:12:25I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without it.
00:12:27Thank you, that was very nice.
00:12:29Well, it was pretty selfish.
00:12:31I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found,
00:12:33I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful face light up when I return it.
00:12:39This is Thule.
00:12:41Oh, I know.
00:12:42I'm in her creative writing class.
00:12:43I'm Armand.
00:12:44It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:12:47Okay, quite the charmer.
00:12:50Sometimes we never hold back when we see something we like.
00:12:58I'm telling you, that French guy is so into you.
00:13:01He seems like the type that'd be into anybody.
00:13:04What?
00:13:05No, 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,
00:13:21is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.
00:13:26Oh, please.
00:13:28It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.
00:13:31Forget him.
00:13:32Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover, okay?
00:13:38Good guys are hard to come by nowadays.
00:13:40You better hop on that before somebody else does.
00:13:50Trash.
00:13:51I'm garbage, Danny.
00:14:19Hello, Tui.
00:14:20Chase, Mr. Mitchell, I didn't know you wrote.
00:14:38Well, why would I teach others how to write if I wasn't doing it myself?
00:14:48More professors should have that attitude.
00:14:51What's the quote?
00:14:52Those who can't do, teach.
00:14:54Teachers do plenty.
00:14:56Knowledge 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.
00:15:03Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:15:05You sound like Professor Connor.
00:15:08Well, that'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.
00:15:26Isn't that what you want?
00:15:28What I want doesn't matter.
00:15:30What 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.
00:16:01Julie.
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...
00:16:13It'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.
00:16:20Whatever 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?
00:16:29That might get me out of it.
00:16:31Yeah? How about dancing?
00:16:33Would you like that?
00:16:42So, what do you think? Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:16:46Nothing ever does. But it was good.
00:16:49Well, good for you then, because I have another one for you.
00:16:52There is a screening of L'Avignon Rose this Friday. One of my favorites.
00:16:56Would you come with me?
00:16:58No.
00:16:59No?
00:17:00No.
00:17:01No?
00:17:02No.
00:17:03No.
00:17:04No.
00:17:05No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:07No.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No.
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?
00:17:19I mean, Tully, a movie won't do it. Like, 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 that.
00:17:31Please, Tully, I insist. Let me do that for you.
00:17:34Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year.
00:17:37The 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.
00:18:11Okay, you have to show me something of his. There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:17Here.
00:18:18The blue blossom fields matched her eyes and the spirit within them.
00:18:22That life, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.
00:18:28I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.
00:18:34My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:18:39Damn.
00:18:40That is good.
00:18:42Too bad he's not real.
00:18:44He was real, Megan.
00:18:46Uh-huh.
00:18:47But he just vanished.
00:18:51I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:18:54Honey, Armand is a real-life human with real-life humans, I'm gonna tell you.
00:19:02And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:19:05He won't ghost you like Adam.
00:19:08I won't let him.
00:19:10That's enough of that, okay?
00:19:14Get ready for your party.
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:37Julie, bienvenue.
00:19:39Hey.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:42Come in.
00:19:43Everyone, say hi to Julie, it's her birthday.
00:19:46Happy birthday!
00:19:49Armand, come on, let's go to the club, it'll be fun.
00:19:52No, Lucien.
00:20:02Do you wanna dance with me?
00:20:04Sorry, not now.
00:20:06Okay, but before the end of the night, we're dancing, right?
00:20:11Here, take this.
00:20:15Julie, look, look at this party.
00:20:18Look at what Armand is doing for you, okay?
00:20:20Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get into your life.
00:20:25It's your real life.
00:20:26Okay, all right.
00:20:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:31Woo!
00:20:37Julie, look at you.
00:20:39You should go to the ballroom dancing sometimes.
00:20:41I love dancing, don't you?
00:20:44No.
00:20:45There's something else I love more, though.
00:20:47Armand, I've had too much to drink.
00:20:50Julie, 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 a birthday gift.
00:20:56Armand, don't do this.
00:20:58Julie, you're making a scene right now.
00:21:00I'm going to make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:21:02Leave it.
00:21:23Julie?
00:21:25Oh, it's you.
00:21:27Are you okay?
00:21:28No, I'm walking home.
00:21:31How far away is your place?
00:21:33Almost there.
00:21:34Just three, four more miles.
00:21:39Okay, come on.
00:21:41I'm going to take you home after a glass of water.
00:21:44What do you care?
00:21:46Julie, I'm trying to help you.
00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep it professional-based.
00:21:55Professional-based?
00:21:57Mr. 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.
00:22:06Come on.
00:22:11You really care, don't you?
00:22:14Like 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.
00:22:22You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.
00:22:27It wouldn't be right either.
00:22:29That's the thing.
00:22:32It may seem wrong, but it's just the right thing.
00:22:38What was that?
00:22:47My heart shattered because I knew.
00:22:49Because I knew.
00:22:51I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:23:20Ugh.
00:23:32Had to go run an errand.
00:23:33There's some coffee in the kitchen.
00:23:35Advil on the counter.
00:23:37Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:23:49Chase!
00:23:50Why were you off with the call to cops?
00:23:52I'm sorry.
00:23:53Honey.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:57I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.
00:24:01What?
00:24:02My phone died and I ended up staying with Chase.
00:24:06Oh my god.
00:24:07Please 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...
00:24:16We 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.
00:24:37Tuli.
00:24:39Chase.
00:24:40Are you feeling better?
00:24:42I am, thanks.
00:24:44I wanted to apologize.
00:24:46I wasn't...
00:24:49I wasn't in a good place.
00:24:51Thank you for taking care of me.
00:24:53Of course.
00:24:55I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for 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.
00:25:13I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.
00:25:16Do you?
00:25:25This is a bad idea.
00:25:27I could lose my job.
00:25:29I could get kicked out of school.
00:25:31The risk is too high.
00:25:32We've got to keep this completely academic.
00:25:34I'm glad we agreed.
00:25:44I love you.
00:25:52The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:25:58Anything else is just too messy.
00:26:01And you can do that.
00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.
00:26:07Oh, God. I hate the sound of that.
00:26:10Then we don't have to close anything.
00:26:12Just our dirty little secret.
00:26:23Not here.
00:26:43Probably.
00:26:59Love is divine only and difficult.
00:27:03Always.
00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?
00:27:07Tony Morrison.
00:27:08Great job, too.
00:27:10Great job, Tony.
00:27:12I bet 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 were 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.
00:27:42I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.
00:27:47Or I should say Tony'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.
00:28:03You have no reason to be jealous. Trust me.
00:28:06I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:28:09Ha, ha.
00:28:16Dinner is ready.
00:28:18Julie, that's my novel. It's not...
00:28:21I love it.
00:28:23I'm only a few pages in, but I absolutely love it.
00:28:26I 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.
00:28:43Which character grew up in Hades?
00:28:46John T...
00:28:51Oh, I'll get it.
00:28:57Hi. Could I talk to Julie?
00:29:00I'll check.
00:29:03It's Armand.
00:29:11I'll be in the other room if you need me.
00:29:17Hi. 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.
00:30:00So, are you going to go out with him?
00:30:05I don't know. I told him not right now.
00:30:08Is it because of the party? I totally get that.
00:30:11Well, um, I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:30:17Ooh, spicy.
00:30:19Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.
00:30:22Tully?
00:30:24No, Tully!
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Well, it better be hot.
00:30:28Oh, it's hot.
00:30:30You're going to get in trouble, girl.
00:30:32I am the trouble.
00:30:33Oh, my God. Come here. Oh, my God.
00:30:37Just be careful, okay?
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:40All right.
00:30:45What does your piece have to say?
00:30:48What does your piece have to say?
00:30:50Behind everything written on the page,
00:30:52what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?
00:30:55For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tully's Mockingbird,
00:31:02or To Kill a Mockingbird.
00:31:04Excuse me.
00:31:06Um, what was I saying?
00:31:10You're going to get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:31:17I'm the one who's going to get into trouble.
00:31:19And you love it, I can tell.
00:31:21I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:27It's not to love.
00:31:28Wait until we talk about a Tully of two cities.
00:31:30No, shut up.
00:31:31All right, catch 22.
00:31:33I am shutting you up, then.
00:31:40Oh.
00:31:53Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester,
00:31:55my mom's totally going to cut off my meal card.
00:31:57Yeah, I know.
00:31:58Who does that?
00:31:59Like, totally psychotic.
00:32:00Like, I'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, uh, it's all part of the grading process.
00:32:24Interesting.
00:32:25Thanks.
00:32:36That was too close.
00:32:38No more of that here.
00:32:40I'll see you later tonight, then.
00:32:43Now, we wait a few seconds.
00:32:45He might still be out there.
00:32:46Oh, yeah?
00:32:47What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:32:49Anything but what we were doing before.
00:32:52What?
00:33:06Down.
00:33:07My notebook.
00:33:22That bastard.
00:33:24That's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:33:26I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:33:29You think he could be married?
00:33:30I don't know.
00:33:31Should 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,
00:33:36you should do the same.
00:33:38I say call him on.
00:33:40He wants to take you out on a real date, right?
00:33:42Yeah, but Jace is...
00:33:44The Jace is your teacher, and you're his student.
00:33:48But what else is he hiding from you
00:33:50if 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?
00:34:21Oh, it's my dad.
00:34:24Hey, Dad.
00:34:30What?
00:34:31It's a big room, though.
00:34:36And that's all, everyone.
00:34:39Come back Monday with those revisions,
00:34:41and have a great weekend.
00:34:51Hey, it's Tully.
00:34:53Just leave me a message.
00:35:02Hi.
00:35:03Is Tully here?
00:35:04Sorry, I'm alone.
00:35:05She's not here.
00:35:06Can you give her that?
00:35:08Thanks.
00:35:10Bye.
00:35:21Hello?
00:35:22There's a rain check on Armand,
00:35:24but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these.
00:35:27Tulips?
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:30They're so pretty.
00:35:42Come on.
00:35:43Tell me what's going on.
00:35:45Really, it's nothing.
00:35:48B.S.
00:35:49I know when you've got girl problems.
00:35:52I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.
00:35:57That's enough to deal with.
00:36:01I can always tell.
00:36:03Basic, bro.
00:36:04Twin intuition is a real thing.
00:36:06That really only seems to go one way.
00:36:10Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.
00:36:12Or on the next great American novel.
00:36:15So you wish, anyway.
00:36:20Your 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.
00:36:43Janelle,
00:36:44I tried to settle down,
00:36:46and marriage didn't work for me.
00:36:48Brooke 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.
00:36:59And I tried.
00:37:00My heart wasn't in it, and...
00:37:02I'm better off just not starting down that path again.
00:37:07Jace.
00:37:08Come on, do you really believe that?
00:37:25Jace.
00:37:26Totally.
00:37:29Jace, I'm sorry I missed class.
00:37:32It's been a rough few days.
00:37:33Yeah, I bet.
00:37:35I saw Armand chilling up at your house with flowers.
00:37:38Are you guys dating?
00:37:40No.
00:37:42So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?
00:37:44What do you care if I'm dating someone?
00:37:45You're not exactly single yourself, are you?
00:37:50I can see you're busy.
00:37:51I'll leave you two alone.
00:37:52No, Thule, come back.
00:37:54I want you to meet someone.
00:37:56Janelle, this is Thule.
00:37:58Thule is my sister, Janelle.
00:38:02So, you're the 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.
00:38:09Thule, 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.
00:38:32Sorry for your loss.
00:38:34Was she a good woman?
00:38:36The best.
00:38:38She took care of us when my mom and dad broke up.
00:38:41She was the only thing that got me through it.
00:38:43Our parents broke up too.
00:38:45Did Jace tell you that?
00:38:46He doesn't really talk about himself, not really.
00:38:49I don't even know his middle name.
00:38:52Jace 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.
00:39:06He'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.
00:39:32I'll let you two talk.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:45I'm sorry for lashing out.
00:39:48You're grieving.
00:39:50Believe me, I understand.
00:39:54Do you want to tell me about her?
00:40:00Grandma was always there for us.
00:40:03More than your normal, sweet old grandma.
00:40:07She was special.
00:40:09Patient, kind.
00:40:12Everything that my mom wasn't.
00:40:16And when my mom and dad broke up, she moved in to take care of us.
00:40:24My first romance novels were the ones that I would sneak out of her room.
00:40:28She said it was okay.
00:40:30I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.
00:40:35I just, um...
00:40:40If I had known that we were going to lose her so suddenly, I would have spent every second that I could have with her.
00:40:46All those great things.
00:40:49Let that be what she leaves behind in this world.
00:40:53Inside you and everyone who knew her.
00:40:58Carry her with you.
00:41:01You know what she would have told me about you?
00:41:03Stay awake.
00:41:07She would have told me to stop messing around and give you my heart.
00:41:13And 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. You're horrible at hiding it.
00:41:35We can't be together, too. We'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. You don't know what I've been through.
00:41:51That's exactly what I want to know.
00:41:54You never would have let me read your book if you didn't want more.
00:41:59I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into this. There's too much at stake.
00:42:04No more than when we kissed in your office.
00:42:07This isn't about you being my teacher anymore. It's about us being serious.
00:42:12I don't know if I can. I don't know if you'll stay.
00:42:17My mother had her secrets.
00:42:19She left us high and dry, having planned her exit for years.
00:42:23I need to know that the man that I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.
00:42:27This is me sharing myself with you, Jace. Why can't you do the same?
00:42:33Keep your secrets or keep me.
00:42:48Jace, don't let her slip away.
00:42:57I love you.
00:43:28Sure.
00:43:33Thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.
00:43:35Yeah, of course, girl. Your grandma was such a badass.
00:43:40Oh, I'll get it.
00:43:43Is Tuli here?
00:43:45She 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.
00:43:57Okay.
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.
00:44:30But we fell apart.
00:44:33She 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.
00:45:08James.
00:45:28Who the fuck would love you like I did?
00:45:31Know you're hard to want it.
00:45:33Did you like it that way?
00:45:35Stay when you get mad at it.
00:45:38Who the fuck would love you like I did?
00:45:41And who the fuck would love you like I did?
00:45:44Those years are smarter.
00:45:45Now you're working harder.
00:45:47It was easy to love me.
00:45:50But who the fuck would?
00:45:54Armand, I'm sorry.
00:45:56We can't be together.
00:45:58I wanted to feel the same sort of passion that you felt for me, but...
00:46:02This is because of Professor Mitchell.
00:46:04What?
00:46:05What are you talking about?
00:46:07I saw him at your house today.
00:46:09I wanted to tell you about it, but it's complicated with him.
00:46:13I was never really sure about anything.
00:46:15Was our date really going to happen?
00:46:17Armand, yes.
00:46:19But I told you that my grandmother...
00:46:21Yes, yes, I know, but...
00:46:23Your heart was never really in it, was it?
00:46:26I 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.
00:46:36It's got to be more than just gestures.
00:46:39It's got to be real.
00:46:41So you think what you got with him is real?
00:46:44It's becoming more real every day.
00:46:47I just hope he feels the same for you, Thuy.
00:46:49Or he's going to hurt you.
00:47:01Hello.
00:47:03Thuy.
00:47:05I know he was hiding something.
00:47:18Well, it's over with Armand.
00:47:21Thuy, I have to tell you something about Jace.
00:47:25What?
00:47:27Okay, um...
00:47:29Remember when I was like,
00:47:31what do we even really know about him?
00:47:34Well, that thought stuck with me.
00:47:36And I know you guys have been, you know, making up.
00:47:39I know I'm nosy and an awful friend.
00:47:43But please, just hear me out.
00:47:45It's fine. What did you find out?
00:47:47Okay, well, I found his faculty page and his e-mail,
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 e-mail
00:48:10as Adam's inkit account.
00:48:16Oh.
00:48:29I didn't hear you come in. Everything okay?
00:48:32No, Jace, it's not.
00:48:34Were you ever going to tell me?
00:48:36Tell you what?
00:48:38That 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?
00:48:55Was it before that first night?
00:48:57Did you plan all this?
00:48:59No. I found out when I saw you in class
00:49:02months after that first night between us.
00:49:05You said the name to one of your chapter titles,
00:49:07and I realized who you were.
00:49:09I wanted to stay away, but I couldn't.
00:49:12Why didn't you tell me even when we first started
00:49:14seeing each other?
00:49:17I 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?
00:49:23Three years ago when we were supposed to meet,
00:49:25you were married, weren't you?
00:49:29The whole time we talked online,
00:49:31you were married.
00:49:35Yes.
00:49:36Unbelievable, Jace, Adam.
00:49:38I don't know which version of you I'm more angry with.
00:49:43It's bad enough that he's my teacher, but this?
00:49:46I just think back on everything between us
00:49:48and wonder what he's been operating on behind the scenes.
00:49:53I knew something was wrong with him.
00:49:55That's why I had to look into it.
00:49:57Thank you for being nosy.
00:49:59You're right.
00:50:01You're also a great friend.
00:50:03Hey, I've got a question for you.
00:50:06What is it?
00:50:08You're also a great friend.
00:50:10Hey, at least it all came out now
00:50:13and no real damage was done.
00:50:15You dodged a bullet.
00:50:17Should I drop out of the class?
00:50:19Girl, absolutely not.
00:50:21We are not letting him win this one, okay?
00:50:38I am not sentimental.
00:50:52I am as romantic as you are.
00:50:54The idea that you know
00:50:56is that a sentimental person
00:50:58thinks things will last.
00:51:00A romantic person
00:51:02has a desperate confidence
00:51:04that they won't.
00:51:06that they won't.
00:51:08What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:51:10It sounds nice, but I don't think it's honest.
00:51:15How so?
00:51:17Because some people are neither.
00:51:20Some people just use others,
00:51:21thinking that they won't last.
00:51:26And then they're glad to throw them away.
00:51:28♪♪♪
00:51:38♪♪♪
00:51:48♪♪♪
00:51:58♪♪♪
00:52:08♪♪♪
00:52:13So, yes, they called me back in to finish off your class.
00:52:17I'm sorry to say that Mr. Mitchell has resigned.
00:52:22Some administrative matter, that's all I'm going to say.
00:52:26So, help me get caught up with where we are in the assignment.
00:52:32From what I understand, you're supposed to take one chapter
00:52:35out of the way-living novels and write it in your own style.
00:52:39♪♪♪
00:52:46Chase.
00:52:48Cynthia.
00:52:49I'm just packing up.
00:52:51What happened?
00:52:52You tell me.
00:52:54Look, I know you're hurt,
00:52:56but I don't think you'd do anything like this.
00:52:58Come on.
00:53:05♪♪♪♪
00:53:15Julie.
00:53:16Did you do it?
00:53:17Do what?
00:53:18Tell me the truth.
00:53:19Did you report Chase to the school?
00:53:22I did report him because it was the right thing to do.
00:53:25Right thing?
00:53:26You only did that because I chose him over you.
00:53:28Can it be both, Julie?
00:53:30There are rules that exist and you can't deny that you broke them.
00:53:32Even if he doesn't hurt you,
00:53:34what is he going to do with the other student?
00:53:36The next student?
00:53:37Armand, you cost him his job, maybe his whole career.
00:53:40I did that, huh?
00:53:41What about him?
00:53:42What about you?
00:53:43You think you're innocent in all of that?
00:53:45♪♪♪♪♪
00:53:57I knew how the investigation was going to end.
00:54:00I figured I'd better leave under suspicion
00:54:03than be the confirmed disgrace that I am.
00:54:07Doesn't this mean you can see Tuli now with no secrets?
00:54:10That's the best part.
00:54:13Tuli's gone.
00:54:14We're...
00:54:16We're through.
00:54:18Jace, why?
00:54:21We didn't realize it, but we used to talk
00:54:24on 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.
00:54:34But when we set an actual date,
00:54:38I knew I had gone too far.
00:54:40I knew I had to break it off.
00:54:44And by the time Brooke and I had divorced,
00:54:49it was too late.
00:54:51She blocked me.
00:54:52So even when we started seeing each other as, well,
00:54:56us,
00:55:00I still couldn't tell her.
00:55:02I knew she wouldn't forgive me
00:55:05for ghosting her,
00:55:07for lying to her.
00:55:10And she didn't.
00:55:11She didn't.
00:55:13She turned me in.
00:55:16And I deserve it.
00:55:19Well, what you don't deserve
00:55:21is to beat yourself up about this.
00:55:24You have to find a way to move on.
00:55:42What?
00:55:44Oh, my God.
00:55:46So, we did it.
00:55:48No school, no books, no parades, no teachers.
00:55:52Sorry.
00:55:53Smart subject.
00:55:54No.
00:55:55You know, finally, it's set.
00:55:57Okay, so I'm proud of you.
00:55:59You've grown so much.
00:56:01What do you say we go out tonight?
00:56:04Now, that's what I'm talking about.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08Now, that's what I'm talking about.
00:56:15Bring it.
00:56:18That's it.
00:56:31Jace's novel.
00:56:33Wow.
00:56:34He actually got it published.
00:56:36Is that the one you read?
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:40Oh, looks like he got back on his feet.
00:56:43Oh, my God, you wrote something.
00:56:46For my damn soul, Adam.
00:56:49Too little, too late, right?
00:56:52Right.
00:56:54Still want to go dancing today?
00:56:56Sure, let's do it.
00:56:58I've been dying to get you into your little red dress.
00:57:01Let's go.
00:57:09I don't know the time.
00:57:11I'm letting go.
00:57:13I want to find someone to love.
00:57:17I feel alive.
00:57:19I think I know.
00:57:21We're getting down.
00:57:22We're getting low.
00:57:25Low, low, low, low, low.
00:57:29We're getting down.
00:57:31Oh, my gosh, girl.
00:57:32Did you see the guy who was dancing with you?
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:35Now, that's how you cap off a college career.
00:57:37Yeah, it is.
00:57:38I need a hydrate.
00:57:40Night, Megan.
00:57:41Good night.
00:58:08They stood in the winter-withered garden,
00:58:11dead flowerbeds at their feet.
00:58:13John didn't notice.
00:58:15He gazed deeply into her eyes.
00:58:18I'm ready, Victoria, John whispered.
00:58:23Every universe we've met,
00:58:25every timeline,
00:58:27every version of me,
00:58:29you are the constant.
00:58:31You're the one thing I can't change,
00:58:34and I'll never want to leave.
00:58:35He placed a flower in her hand.
00:58:38It was a tulip.
00:58:40Not dead, no.
00:58:42It was in full bloom.
00:59:06I love you.
00:59:20I know.
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?
01:00:01You 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.
01:00:25I had always run from commitment.
01:00:28I thought I was done with that life.
01:00:30But when we started seeing each other,
01:00:32keeping 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.
01:00:52No matter which version of you it is,
01:00:54I keep falling for you.
01:00:56And I'm done running.
01:00:59Then listen to me.
01:01:01Then listen to me.
01:01:14Where are we running off to then?
01:01:17At New York City, Sam.
01:01:30I love you.
