Previously on Maxton Hall...

Excuse me...

What happened?

And who is Ruby Bell?

-We won't go higher than 10,000. -You're a bigger asshole than I thought.

You want a war, Ruby Bell?

You got it.

Your inheritance, your little pranks. It just shows how empty you are.

I'm sorry.

You're not invisible anymore.

Not to me.

You're much too special to hide yourself from anyone.

Ruby Jemima Bell.

This girl will never be more than a gold digger

who would rather sleep her way to the top than achieve something.

Did your father flip out?

You will never speak to this girl again.

It only takes one call from me and she loses her scholarship.

-If you need something... -I haven't had a period in two months.

You have access to one of the world's best universities.

What if I hate university.

James Beaufort?

What then?

You don't understand how lucky you are.

James Beaufort?

Your mother had a stroke.

Cordelia is dead.

James, don't!

The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams.

I've often wondered why some call Oxford the city of dreaming spires.

I think I understand now.

I want to spend the rest of my life here.

In Oxford?

With you.

Some dreams are so beautiful that you want to stop time.

So that they never end.

And sometimes one second is enough

to turn them into a nightmare.

MAXTON HALL THE WORLD BETWEEN US

BASED ON THE NOVEL "SAVE YOU" BY MONA KASTEN

You drive me crazy, Ruby Bell.

I can't wait to see you and pick up where we left off.

Until tomorrow at the gate.

I'll be right there. Can't wait to see you.

-Hi, Ruby! Hi. -Hi!

And?

I've taken such great pictures in Oxford.

I'll show you later.

Crazy, isn't it?

Just a few more weeks and then it's, "Goodbye, Maxton Hall."

Are you ready for the homestretch?

As long as I can take some things with me, absolutely.

Things? Yeah, right.

-I'll give James a quick call, okay? -Okay.

You've reached the voicemail of James Beaufort.

Leave a message.

Maybe he got into trouble because he blew off the interviews.

What has James Beaufort done to you?

The Ruby I know would say,

"All that matters is graduating. Never lose focus."

True. But who says I'm not allowed to broaden my focus?

-Hi! -Hello.

-And, everything okay? -Finals!

-Yes. How was Oxford? -Quite good. It was great.

We haven't won yet, bro.

What could stop us?

What if Eastview qualifies?

-We'll just defeat them like last year. -Yes.

Let's drink to that. My place tonight, okay?

Well, where's our party animal when you need him?

At home, cuddling.

Not without his girl.

You've got to get used to being the main topic for the next few days.

There's gossip everywhere.

The way you guys left campus,

everyone wants to know what's going on. Obviously.

A lady doesn't kiss and tell.

Miss Bell.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I heard that you had a good time in Oxford.

You could say that.

I would like to discuss something with you.

Do you have a moment?

Of course, sir.

Have you heard the name

Alice Campbell before?

Do you mean the Alice Campbell?

Author, human rights activist, and founder of the Campbell Foundation?

As you may know, the Campbell Foundation's gala dinner is held every year

to raise funds for children and young people with mental health problems.

For this year's anniversary, Mrs. Campbell has decided

to give young up-and-coming talents the opportunity to organize the dinner.

Since your Victorian party was so well received,

I've taken the liberty of telling Mrs. Campbell...

...that you'll apply to organize the event.

Me?

The most important business people of this country will attend.

A successful evening would be the perfect calling card for you

and free publicity for us.

Can you manage that?

Well, the scholarship exams are coming up,

the photo shoot for the yearbook and our prom must be organized.

My grades and my job at the deli--

-Miss Bell. -Yes?

Can you do this?

Great.

Then there's nothing to stop you from applying.

-What's the application deadline? -Should say it at the bottom.

That's the day after tomorrow.

9:00 a.m.!

And please remember the test tomorrow.

Every grade counts.

Hey.

Do you know where James is? I can't reach him.

I've had no word from him since Oxford.

Nor from Lydia.

I would like to go to their house,

but I'm worried their parents wouldn't like it.

Would you?

Just to make sure everything's okay.

I'll go to his place right after training.

As soon as I know what's up, I'll let you know, okay?

For the day after tomorrow?

Isn't it all a bit much, dear?

Mom, I can manage it. I just can't let myself get distracted.

ALISTAIR No news, unfortunately. Sorry.

It's not up to us to understand

why you chose the hardest path to success, right?

Em, I want to study and make the world a better place.

Just like Amal Clooney or Alice Campbell.

Yeah, I understand that.

I would just like you to put your feet up now and then,

and relax and think about world peace during a massage.

How about bagging the son of an influential, rich family?

Or have you already?

-I think that's a yes. -It's not a "yes."

Perhaps a "maybe."

Speak of the devil.

Lydia?

Hey...

Is James here?

What happened? I've been trying to reach him all day.

Just a second.

Hello?

Did you find him?

Thank God.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Lydia, what's going on?

I can't...

Then I'll come with you.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Hey, Lydia.

Lydia. Hi. It's great that you came.

-Where's James? -Doing yoga upstairs to find his center.

-The usual. -Enough with the nonsense.

Please, Cyril, I need to find him.

Hi...

Ruby, he was like that when he showed up.

No clue what's going on. I've never seen him like this before.

What the fuck?

Get out!

Yes.

James, please!

James!

James!

Who invited you?

I've been worried all day. What's going on?

You don't belong here.

Water isn't really your thing, is it?

Hey. Were you also at the party just now?

Everything okay?

Come. Get in.

Come on.

Okay.

Good morning!

The bus will be here in four minutes. You coming?

Not today.

So today I'll be the overachiever of the family.

Ruby? Sweetheart?

Is everything okay?

Sadly, I also have to go now.

But you can call me any time, okay?

And me. I'll be downstairs, in case you need me...

-Maybe something to eat. Or drink or-- -She heard you.

We can't leave her alone in her room...

LYDIA - 7 MISSED CALLS LIN - 2 MISSED CALLS

LYDIA NEW MESSAGES

Good morning!

How far did you get with the concept for the Campbell Gala?

Will you manage it?

I know you don't want help, but since the deadline is tomorrow, I thought...

How about we meet up today after the test? I'm here for you, okay?

The famous philosopher Epictetus once said,

"In life, it's not what happens to you that counts,

but how you react to it."

The philosophers of this world would be proud of me.

-He still needs time, Dad. -We don't have time.

Half of England's press is standing at the door.

As soon as the news breaks, all hell will break loose here.

What is he thinking?

I can ask them to wait for a few more minutes.

You do that.

Thanks, Julia.

If you don't get him out, I will.

It's an impertinence.

Disrespectful and immature.

Dad, please. He'll be out soon.

-James! -No!

The press is waiting!

-James! -I said, "No!"

So, I'm here. Where do you want me?

-You aren't even dressed. -What will the journalists think?

Let's just ask them.

Forget it. Just go back.

-Why? The press is waiting. -You won't show yourself like this.

We'll do it alone.

James.

I assure you

that despite our significant loss,

we will do our utmost

to continue the Beaufort brand in line with our family's values and tradition.

At the same time, I ask for your understanding

that my children and I

won't be making any further public statements in the near future.

My press officer Miss Julia Stevens will be your contact for the time being.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you can find my contact details...

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Leave me alone.

James, I've had it with you.

You're not the only one suffering here. I lost my mother too.

I need you, James.

Stop it, you're ruining everything.

It's all already ruined.

Not if we stick together, James.

-We've got each other and Dad. -Dad!

Dad loves us and he needs us now, okay?

Dad loves us...

as long as we do what he says.

He doesn't even know what love means.

But you do, right?

It's not normal.

The child hasn't eaten anything all day.

I'm not in favor of violence.

But whoever's causing her this grief, I'll wring their neck.

Who was that girl she went out with yesterday?

Lydia Beaufort. James Beaufort's sister.

Beaufort... Sounds familiar.

Dad, if you know Burberry, you know Beaufort.

-Burbey what? -You're joking, right?

As declared in a message delivered in person by the widower,

Mrs. Beaufort succumbed to a stroke last Monday.

Initial forecasts indicate that this tragic loss

could also have a significant impact on the company's share price.

We'll bake something for her.

-A few muffins to cheer her up. -The only thing Ruby needs is rest.

Ruby.

Ruby, open up.

I need rest.

You can't.

You've got a visitor.

-I don't want to see anyone. -Ruby!

Ember, I know you're worried, but I--

Where have you been?

You missed the worst day of school ever. Why aren't you answering your cell phone?

I know, the test, the concept, I messed everything up.

You look like you've been hit by a truck.

I don't want to talk about it.

Then you already know.

How's James?

Never mention that name again.

Ember said you saw Lydia yesterday.

Didn't she tell you anything?

What was she supposed to tell me?

Cordelia Beaufort is dead.

What?

I'm so sorry, Lydia.

Thank you for coming.

If there's anything I can do...

Hey.

James.

Ruby.

Hey, you've got to breathe.

Hey.

What's happening to me?

Hey.

You're grieving.

I don't feel anything.

Everything is so numb.

You lost your mother. It's normal to feel this way.

I don't know.

I don't even know if I knew her at all.

Or if I even liked her.

I was so mean to her the last time I saw her.

Hey.

VIDEO FROM ELAINE

Ruby...

Don't leave.

I need to.

Love you! FROM ELAINE

She means nothing to me, that--

Ruby, I--

I just lost control.

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

Please.

You can't leave.

Ruby...

I need you.

You need help, James.

Then get lost.

What?

Get lost!

Go, get out!

Get lost!

James.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Take it easy.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, easy now.

Come on, my boy.

We'll get through this together.

We're your family, James.

Hey.

How are you? Did you sleep?

Well...

Okay. I've been thinking about James again, yeah?

-Lin-- -You don't talk about it, so I'm talking.

-Lin-- -Apart from my mother,

you're the strongest person I know.

And you've achieved so much and you have so many plans.

Focus on that now.

You had a life before James Beaufort and you'll have a life after him.

And if you need distraction, chocolate, or even help with the concept,

just let me know, okay?

I will, Lin.

Thanks.

The butterfly is a symbol of transformation.

Its journey is impressive

and many believe that it reflects the course of life and death.

After it spends the first part of its life as a caterpillar, it withdraws and pupates

to complete in solitude a transformation in its cocoon

that changes its entire being.

Its old self dies and remains behind in fragments of the old cocoon,

while the new one unfolds an incomprehensible beauty.

As delicate and fragile as its new appearance may seem,

its wings prove to be just as powerful.

They carry it everywhere.

We humans find ourselves on a similar journey.

We often go through painful changes and enter a new phase of life

that is full of new discoveries.

Letting go of what we've lost and trusting that life will be good to us

is the challenge that we have to face.

No matter how hurt we are or how fragile we feel.

Cordelia...

was the strongest, most intelligent, and most creative partner

I could have ever wished to have by my side.

My children and I now have the responsibility

to honor the memory and the legacy,

the life's work of Cordelia

and to continue her legacy.

And in the end, it's up to us if we trust ourselves to spread our wings.

To trust that the wings will carry us.

And that life goes on.

No matter how difficult it seems.

James, sincere condolences.

-My condolences. -My condolences, James.

Lydia, my heartfelt condolences.

Hey, you two.

Can you still remember me?

I'm Ophelia, Cordelia's sister.

That's what I thought.

Mom often talked about you.

I'm so sorry.

The sorrow you caused your sister during her lifetime isn't enough for you?

Now you have to harass her children on the day of her funeral too?

Mortimer, you haven't changed at all.

I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with us.

I wasn't allowed to see you.

Because you're a parasite

who only cares for money.

No wonder you show up now of all times.

You are shameless.

Says the man who sponged off her the entire time?

-You leave my children alone. -Dad.

Get out of here.

Hey, she's her sister.

-I'd love to tell you about your mother. -Okay, that's enough.

Hey, let her go.

It's okay.

We'll see each other again soon.

At the latest, at the reading of the will.

How dare you stab me in the back like that?

You lied to us. You said she didn't want to see us.

That woman is scum.

Do we have to do this here?

Family, as if.

Family doesn't mean shit to you.

Your mother was right.

You are nothing but a disappointment.

James!

Percy!

Percy, stop him!

-Hey, James! -Percy!

What are you doing?

James!

Pick up. Please pick up.

Ruby.

-Please pick up! -Hey!

Sometimes it's a single moment

which decides if you'll follow your head or your emotions.

The moment that has the power to throw you off course.

For good.
