00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:03,037
Gossip Girl here. Your one and only
source. (Subs fixed by cookie monsta)

2
00:00:03,204 --> 00:00:05,205
Into the scandalous lives
of Manhattan's elite.

3
00:00:05,273 --> 00:00:07,174
I see you've met my daughter.

4
00:00:07,242 --> 00:00:08,475
Raina Thorpe.

5
00:00:08,543 --> 00:00:10,444
I have decided to set my sights.

6
00:00:10,512 --> 00:00:13,814
On a company that has just
come back up on the block.

7
00:00:13,882 --> 00:00:15,082
Bass Industries.

8
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:18,152
My car is just outside.
I'll wait five minutes.

9
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:19,787
Before taking off.

10
00:00:19,854 --> 00:00:21,121
What in the hell were you trying to do?

11
00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:23,090
Get Ben out of prison.

12
00:00:23,158 --> 00:00:24,958
What, by putting me in?
The information about Ben.

13
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:26,860
In the affidavit can never get out, ever.

14
00:00:26,928 --> 00:00:28,629
I'm here to see Ben Donovan.

15
00:00:28,697 --> 00:00:30,964
I'm sorry. You just missed
him. Mr. Donovan was released.

16
00:00:31,032 --> 00:00:32,633
Are you free for coffee?

17
00:00:32,701 --> 00:00:34,168
I'm free for anything.

18
00:00:34,235 --> 00:00:36,370
Have you come to recruit another
virgin to be your drug mule?

19
00:00:36,438 --> 00:00:38,272
I would say, why, are you available?

20
00:00:39,808 --> 00:00:42,476
And who am I?

21
00:00:42,544 --> 00:00:45,779
That's a secret I'll never tell.

22
00:00:45,847 --> 00:00:47,781
You know you love me.

23
00:00:47,849 --> 00:00:49,850
X.O.X.O., Gossip Girl.

24
00:00:53,488 --> 00:00:55,322
Brr, Upper East siders.

25
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:57,758
It's cold outside.

26
00:00:57,826 --> 00:01:00,094
And as February approaches,
we need to find ways.

27
00:01:00,161 --> 00:01:02,196
To fight frostbite.

28
00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:09,870
Some keep warm the old-fashioned way.

29
00:01:09,938 --> 00:01:11,872
Who knew what a turn-on it would be.

30
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:14,842
To sleep with a woman
trying to buy my company?

31
00:01:14,909 --> 00:01:18,078
As long as we play clean in
business, I'm happy to keep it...

32
00:01:18,146 --> 00:01:21,415
Dirty between the sheets.

33
00:01:28,356 --> 00:01:31,759
Some seek the comfort of loved ones.

35
00:01:36,264 --> 00:01:38,165
What are you doing up this early?

36
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:39,666
By painting things bright.

37
00:01:39,734 --> 00:01:41,769
Breakfast with Ben. And don't lecture.

38
00:01:41,836 --> 00:01:43,670
He's a nice person.
A nice, innocent person.

39
00:01:43,738 --> 00:01:46,640
Who deserves a friend after
what my mom did to him.

40
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:48,709
A lot of mascara for a friend,

41
00:01:48,777 --> 00:01:51,311
but you can have breakfast
with whomever you want.

42
00:01:51,379 --> 00:01:53,247
I don't judge. Well, today I don't,

43
00:01:53,314 --> 00:01:55,549
because today everything
is new and fresh and golden.

44
00:01:55,617 --> 00:01:58,185
Today my internship begins.

45
00:01:58,253 --> 00:02:00,888
You're finally going
to tell me where it is?

46
00:02:00,955 --> 00:02:03,090
It's too important. I can't jinx it.

47
00:02:03,158 --> 00:02:04,792
I'll tell you after my first day,

48
00:02:04,859 --> 00:02:06,326
but I must go.

49
00:02:06,394 --> 00:02:09,329
But you realize most offices
aren't even open this early.

50
00:02:09,397 --> 00:02:11,365
Unless you're interning
at a doughnut shop?

51
00:02:11,433 --> 00:02:14,234
I want to be early. What
is wrong with being early?

52
00:02:14,302 --> 00:02:15,836
Catch the worm!

53
00:02:15,904 --> 00:02:19,039
Okay, I'll see you at
the "W" party tonight.

54
00:02:19,107 --> 00:02:21,708
And good luck at your new
job at the mayor's office.

55
00:02:21,776 --> 00:02:25,078
Or the Whitney or CIA or... whatever.

56
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:27,381
This... this is like
living with Don Draper.

57
00:02:27,449 --> 00:02:31,552
Lily, again, thank you so much
for getting me this opportunity.

58
00:02:31,619 --> 00:02:34,054
Just so you know,
it may not be what...

59
00:02:34,122 --> 00:02:35,989
Don't worry. I realize
most internships are about.

60
00:02:36,057 --> 00:02:37,591
Exploitation and espresso runs.

61
00:02:37,659 --> 00:02:39,793
I'm just happy to get a chance
to be around writing again.

62
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:41,795
Well, then you're welcome, Daniel.

63
00:02:41,863 --> 00:02:43,397
How about a celebratory breakfast?

64
00:02:43,465 --> 00:02:45,432
Uh, you know, I-I can't. I'm super busy.

65
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,734
I gotta... I gotta limber
up for all this bootlicking

66
00:02:47,802 --> 00:02:49,203
I'm gonna be doing,

67
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:50,704
but thank you.

68
00:02:50,772 --> 00:02:52,706
Okay. Bye.

69
00:02:54,476 --> 00:02:56,543
Well, at least one of
our kids appreciates me.

70
00:02:56,611 --> 00:02:57,644
Lily.

71
00:02:57,712 --> 00:02:59,713
I get Ben out on parole,

72
00:02:59,781 --> 00:03:03,016
but Serena and Eric continue
to treat me like I'm toxic.

73
00:03:03,084 --> 00:03:05,018
I know you did what you could,

74
00:03:05,086 --> 00:03:06,854
but Ben's still gonna
have a criminal record.

75
00:03:06,921 --> 00:03:08,455
Give them time.

76
00:03:08,523 --> 00:03:10,357
Everything I do or have ever done.

77
00:03:10,425 --> 00:03:13,494
Is for my children.

78
00:03:13,561 --> 00:03:17,264
And someday they'll realize that.

79
00:03:17,332 --> 00:03:18,699
Right?

80
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:20,100
Hmm.

81
00:03:20,168 --> 00:03:21,335
Hmm.

82
00:03:21,402 --> 00:03:24,071
No, please, let me.

83
00:03:24,138 --> 00:03:26,206
I asked. You got last time.

84
00:03:26,274 --> 00:03:28,175
I'm sorry I had to leave so abruptly.

85
00:03:28,243 --> 00:03:30,677
My, uh, friend Edward was waiting for me.

86
00:03:30,745 --> 00:03:32,312
How's life on his sofa?

87
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:34,414
Pullout couch beats a prison cot.

88
00:03:34,482 --> 00:03:37,217
Serena... the reason I asked you here.

89
00:03:37,285 --> 00:03:39,386
Is 'cause I heard from
an old college friend.

90
00:03:39,454 --> 00:03:41,822
He's starting an organic farm in Ithaca,

91
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:44,191
wants me to move up there.

92
00:03:44,259 --> 00:03:46,193
Wow.

93
00:03:46,261 --> 00:03:49,630
Ithaca... it's supposed
to be beautiful.

94
00:03:49,697 --> 00:03:52,399
But are you sure?

95
00:03:52,467 --> 00:03:55,402
Being outside all day,
working with my hands...

96
00:03:55,470 --> 00:03:57,304
After being cooped up for so long,

97
00:03:57,372 --> 00:03:58,805
it's kind of ideal.

98
00:03:58,873 --> 00:04:01,041
Yeah. Well, I hope we get.

99
00:04:01,109 --> 00:04:03,477
To spend some time together before you go.

100
00:04:03,545 --> 00:04:05,078
I'm leaving tomorrow.

101
00:04:05,146 --> 00:04:07,614
I wanna start my new
life as soon as possible.

102
00:04:07,682 --> 00:04:09,683
I hope you understand.

103
00:04:09,751 --> 00:04:12,119
Yeah. Yeah, of course.

104
00:04:12,186 --> 00:04:14,054
I'm sure we can,

105
00:04:14,122 --> 00:04:17,190
you know, write or e-mail
or call or...

106
00:04:17,258 --> 00:04:19,426
I'm really happy for you.

107
00:04:19,494 --> 00:04:23,063
Take care, Serena.

108
00:04:47,088 --> 00:04:49,089
Rufus, hey, you used to have.

109
00:04:49,157 --> 00:04:51,191
A plot in a community garden, right?

110
00:04:51,259 --> 00:04:53,493
You gotta be kidding me.

111
00:04:53,561 --> 00:04:54,962
"Scorpio Rising" was a great film.

112
00:04:55,029 --> 00:04:56,964
That dreck puts the "ick" in "esoteric."

113
00:04:57,031 --> 00:04:58,966
All right, fine. We can go see.

114
00:04:59,033 --> 00:05:01,501
The Merchant Ivory
Retrospective. You can ensure.

115
00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:04,071
That your delicate
sensibilities aren't disturbed,

116
00:05:04,138 --> 00:05:06,039
and I can catch up on my sleep.

117
00:05:06,107 --> 00:05:08,442
Going to movies is a
one or... 4-time thing.

118
00:05:08,509 --> 00:05:10,844
It's not like we're friends.

119
00:05:10,912 --> 00:05:13,747
I never suggested we
were, but I am going to see.

120
00:05:13,815 --> 00:05:16,016
The Joseph Beuys exhibit in Chelsea.

121
00:05:16,084 --> 00:05:18,785
Oh, you are such a boy.
How could you go to that.

122
00:05:18,853 --> 00:05:21,855
When the Degas is about
to close at the Morgan?

123
00:05:21,923 --> 00:05:25,292
You are such a girl. I'm gonna
take a pass on the ballerinas.

124
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,261
Frilly dresses and tutus
are not my idea of art.

125
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:30,631
Fashion is the most powerful art there is.

126
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:34,134
It's movement, design, and
architecture all in one.

127
00:05:34,202 --> 00:05:37,137
It shows the world who we are
and who we'd like to be, just.

128
00:05:37,205 --> 00:05:40,007
Like your scarf suggests that
you'd like to sell used cars.

129
00:05:40,074 --> 00:05:41,575
Vanessa gave me this scarf.

130
00:05:41,643 --> 00:05:44,444
Look, I-I have to go.
Stop wasting my time.

131
00:05:44,512 --> 00:05:46,747
You know today is a big day for me.

132
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:48,882
So you're gonna finally tell
me what internship you got?

133
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:50,884
No, all right. Well, then I won't say.

134
00:05:50,952 --> 00:05:53,854
Which one I got either. I will
see you Sunday at the Morgan.

135
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:56,256
I will wear my most fashionable toe shoes.

136
00:05:56,324 --> 00:05:58,358
Don't get your hopes up.

137
00:06:03,398 --> 00:06:06,299
Serena. Hey, it's great
to see you. I heard about.

138
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:08,268
The Ostroff Center, and
Juliet giving you the...

139
00:06:08,336 --> 00:06:10,003
The drugs that you sold her?

140
00:06:10,071 --> 00:06:11,938
I had no idea what her plans were.

141
00:06:12,006 --> 00:06:14,007
I wanna make sure that you're okay.

142
00:06:14,075 --> 00:06:16,209
Look, I couldn't care less
about clearing your conscience.

143
00:06:16,277 --> 00:06:18,612
When are you gonna realize
your occupation hurts people?

144
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,714
I don't give anyone anything.

145
00:06:20,782 --> 00:06:22,249
That they don't come looking for.

146
00:06:22,316 --> 00:06:24,618
Okay, well, then I guess
you're only half responsible.

147
00:06:24,686 --> 00:06:26,953
That I almost died.

149
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:42,636
"W" stands for "way better"
than I even imagined.

150
00:06:42,704 --> 00:06:45,005
I'm already planning outfits in my head.

151
00:06:45,073 --> 00:06:47,107
If you mean outfits for Lara Stone to wear.

152
00:06:47,175 --> 00:06:49,710
In our Meisel shoot on
Friday, I would love to hear.

153
00:06:49,777 --> 00:06:51,645
Your thoughts, but if you're dreaming.

154
00:06:51,713 --> 00:06:54,014
About what you're gonna wear to
the party tonight, think again.

155
00:06:54,082 --> 00:06:55,782
I saw that movie, too,
but this is real life,

156
00:06:55,850 --> 00:06:58,285
not some Hollywood chick flick
where a girl with a scrunchie.

157
00:06:58,352 --> 00:07:00,320
Gets a makeover and triumphs in the end.

158
00:07:00,388 --> 00:07:02,322
I have never owned a scrunchie.

159
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:04,324
I think I read that on your resume.

160
00:07:04,392 --> 00:07:06,293
Down there is the main production area,

161
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,295
conference room, and
through those doors...

162
00:07:08,362 --> 00:07:09,863
Editor in chief, Stefano Tonchi.

163
00:07:09,931 --> 00:07:11,565
And how soon can I get
a sit-down with him?

164
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:13,066
I have some exciting new ideas.

165
00:07:13,134 --> 00:07:15,102
That I've organized in a
Powerpoint presentation.

166
00:07:15,169 --> 00:07:17,070
I've been Stefano's
assistant since he took over.

167
00:07:17,138 --> 00:07:19,072
I've barely had five
minutes alone with him.

168
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:21,274
But my research says he
has an open door policy,

169
00:07:21,342 --> 00:07:22,843
that he's collaborative.

170
00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:24,344
Doesn't mean he isn't crazy busy.

171
00:07:24,412 --> 00:07:26,513
Then it sounds like he
needs my help immediately.

172
00:07:26,581 --> 00:07:27,948
Ah, you're all so young, so adorable.

173
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:29,116
All who?

174
00:07:29,183 --> 00:07:30,784
All of you interns.

175
00:07:34,722 --> 00:07:37,157
But I...

176
00:07:37,225 --> 00:07:38,625
Thought it was just me.

177
00:07:38,693 --> 00:07:40,227
Thousands of applications.

178
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:41,995
These are the best of the best.

179
00:07:42,063 --> 00:07:44,698
I'm the best of the
best. I'm Blair Waldorf.

180
00:07:44,766 --> 00:07:47,000
Assuming that's your way of saying.

181
00:07:47,068 --> 00:07:49,503
You're the most distinguished,
ambitious student.

182
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:51,972
At your school, then
they're all Blair Waldorfs...

183
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:54,241
From Princeton, Yale, Penn, and Parsons.

184
00:07:56,377 --> 00:07:57,978
Here you are.

185
00:08:00,681 --> 00:08:02,749
This must be our sixth and final intern.

186
00:08:02,817 --> 00:08:04,017
Oh, I think there must be some mistake.

187
00:08:04,085 --> 00:08:05,619
Daniel Humphrey, N.Y.U.?

188
00:08:05,686 --> 00:08:09,189
I'm Epperly Lawrence, your
supervisor. Welcome to "W"

189
00:08:09,257 --> 00:08:13,994
Nothing says January
like a brand new cold war.

190
00:08:16,998 --> 00:08:17,064
Designed to get you in,
and out, and back to life.

191
00:08:21,503 --> 00:08:24,505
Hey. Um, Mrs. Humphrey?

192
00:08:24,572 --> 00:08:26,140
Oh, Jonathan, hello.

193
00:08:26,207 --> 00:08:28,575
Eric left this in class the other day.

194
00:08:28,643 --> 00:08:30,677
I thought he might need it.

195
00:08:30,745 --> 00:08:33,480
Oh, that is so considerate.
Jonathan, how are you?

196
00:08:33,548 --> 00:08:35,716
I haven't seen you since you...

197
00:08:35,784 --> 00:08:37,384
Eric and I broke up, probably.

198
00:08:37,452 --> 00:08:40,387
Well, not that I see my
son much these days either.

199
00:08:40,455 --> 00:08:43,590
He's been with Elliot nonstop
since they got back from Gstaad.

200
00:08:43,658 --> 00:08:45,726
What?

201
00:08:45,794 --> 00:08:47,728
Elliot broke up with
Eric over the holidays.

202
00:08:47,796 --> 00:08:49,696
It's... all anyone was talking about.

203
00:08:49,764 --> 00:08:51,131
The first day back at school.

204
00:08:51,199 --> 00:08:53,667
But Eric slept at his place last night.

205
00:08:53,735 --> 00:08:58,372
Hey. Brought you some coffee.

206
00:09:17,091 --> 00:09:19,560
She looks a little lost.

207
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:24,565
Can I... help you, Miss?

208
00:09:24,632 --> 00:09:26,166
Um, no, thank you.

209
00:09:26,234 --> 00:09:28,669
I'm just here to bring
something to a friend,

210
00:09:28,736 --> 00:09:30,671
but I think I have the wrong address.

211
00:09:30,738 --> 00:09:32,940
Is your friend an ex-con?

212
00:09:33,007 --> 00:09:34,975
Then you're in the right place.

213
00:09:35,043 --> 00:09:36,643
This is a halfway house.

214
00:09:44,352 --> 00:09:47,754
Focus on your work
ethic, not your wardrobe.

215
00:09:47,822 --> 00:09:50,090
"W" is about more than
just fashion and beauty.

216
00:09:50,158 --> 00:09:51,925
We do probing interviews, an art issue.

217
00:09:51,993 --> 00:09:53,794
We're looking for visionaries.

218
00:09:53,862 --> 00:09:56,330
Get out of here, Humphrey. This
is my world.

219
00:09:56,397 --> 00:09:58,665
I can't just quit. When Lily
said cond� nast, I figured.

220
00:09:58,733 --> 00:10:00,033
She meant "Vanity Fair"
or "The New Yorker,

221
00:10:00,101 --> 00:10:02,636
but that doesn't mean she
didn't pull every string.

222
00:10:02,704 --> 00:10:04,872
She had on my behalf. Turns out
it's easier to get a guy paroled.

223
00:10:04,939 --> 00:10:06,440
Than it is to get a magazine
internship in this town.

224
00:10:06,507 --> 00:10:09,042
You don't know the difference
between Rodarte and road kill.

225
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:10,577
You'll be guillotined.

226
00:10:10,645 --> 00:10:11,979
We're interns.

227
00:10:12,046 --> 00:10:14,414
I may not know Couture,
but I know how to collate.

228
00:10:14,482 --> 00:10:17,050
And I know how to staple,
so stay out of my way,

229
00:10:17,118 --> 00:10:19,019
or I'll use one to attach your
tongue to your shoulder blade.

230
00:10:19,087 --> 00:10:21,321
Blair?

231
00:10:21,389 --> 00:10:23,724
I'm sorry. Dan here was just
telling me how much he'd love

232
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:25,659
to work for "The New Yorker."

233
00:10:25,727 --> 00:10:27,694
Oh, that's right. You're the writer.

234
00:10:27,762 --> 00:10:29,696
Maybe you could do something
special for our new blog.

235
00:10:29,764 --> 00:10:31,865
We're announcing tonight
at the party... books, movies,

236
00:10:31,933 --> 00:10:34,368
"Fashion on Film." This
month we'll be in celebration.

237
00:10:34,435 --> 00:10:35,969
Of contemporary authors,
and Lynn Hirschberg's.

238
00:10:36,037 --> 00:10:38,505
Writing the intro. I'll
be sure to introduce you.

239
00:10:38,573 --> 00:10:41,575
Wow. Thank you.

240
00:10:44,812 --> 00:10:46,546
Jonathan? What are you doing here?

241
00:10:46,614 --> 00:10:49,182
Where were you last night?
And don't say Elliot's.

242
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:51,385
I called over there
and spoke to his mother.

243
00:10:51,452 --> 00:10:54,121
Well, I was with a friend.

244
00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:56,056
Why didn't you tell me
that you two broke up?

245
00:10:56,124 --> 00:10:58,525
I didn't wanna share a
huge fact from my life.

246
00:10:58,593 --> 00:11:00,761
I wonder where I got that gene from.

247
00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:02,429
Now you
listen to me...

248
00:11:02,497 --> 00:11:06,333
Lily, can I maybe talk to Eric alone?

249
00:11:10,204 --> 00:11:11,905
Fine.

250
00:11:16,878 --> 00:11:18,478
Are you okay?

251
00:11:18,546 --> 00:11:20,981
What's going on with you and your mother?

252
00:11:21,049 --> 00:11:24,818
Oh. Now you care. 'Cause you
didn't when you dumped me.

253
00:11:24,886 --> 00:11:28,956
I was angry, and rightly so, but...

254
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:31,325
I've always cared, and you know that.

255
00:11:34,329 --> 00:11:38,131
It's my family, and... and Elliot,

256
00:11:38,199 --> 00:11:42,636
and it's just been...
A rough few weeks for me.

257
00:11:44,939 --> 00:11:47,474
But I missed having you in my life.

258
00:11:47,542 --> 00:11:50,277
Well, I'm here now.

259
00:11:50,345 --> 00:11:52,279
Uh, your mother said you guys.

260
00:11:52,347 --> 00:11:55,048
Were going to some party tonight.

261
00:11:55,116 --> 00:11:57,517
Is there any chance you'd
wanna bring someone along.

262
00:11:57,585 --> 00:12:00,420
To be there for you, help keep the peace?

263
00:12:00,488 --> 00:12:02,990
Make fun of everyone we see?

264
00:12:03,057 --> 00:12:06,360
Yeah, that sounds perfect.

265
00:12:09,831 --> 00:12:10,998
No, I don't know.

266
00:12:11,065 --> 00:12:13,033
There.

267
00:12:13,101 --> 00:12:14,468
Okay, I'll let her know.

268
00:12:14,535 --> 00:12:16,903
What'd he say?

269
00:12:23,011 --> 00:12:24,978
These strappy zanottis would look great.

270
00:12:25,046 --> 00:12:26,747
With your sweaty gym socks.

271
00:12:26,814 --> 00:12:28,548
Epperly asked me to pull
the lemon Louboutins.

272
00:12:28,616 --> 00:12:30,584
Oh. You poor lost lamb.

273
00:12:32,153 --> 00:12:33,720
Let me help you.

274
00:12:36,858 --> 00:12:39,760
I didn't date Serena Van Der Woodsen.

275
00:12:39,827 --> 00:12:42,262
For two years and not come away knowing.

276
00:12:42,330 --> 00:12:44,698
That those are Marc
Jacobs, and they're mustard.

277
00:12:51,606 --> 00:12:55,575
Ugh! Why does this
taste like Chanel No.5?

278
00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:02,382
Hey, I was, uh, just
getting myself a cappuccino.

279
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:04,117
I thought you might like one, too.

280
00:13:04,185 --> 00:13:06,119
The nutmeg foam...
That's a Humphrey touch.

281
00:13:06,187 --> 00:13:08,088
My dad used to own a coffee bar.

282
00:13:08,156 --> 00:13:09,756
Thank you, Daniel. That's very thoughtful.

283
00:13:09,824 --> 00:13:11,358
Who's got a stapler?

284
00:13:11,426 --> 00:13:13,393
Give it up, Blair. I'm
actually good at this,

285
00:13:13,461 --> 00:13:15,362
and unlike the other interns, I know you.

286
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:17,330
Your stupid tricks won't work.

287
00:13:17,398 --> 00:13:18,732
Oh, look, it's Georgina's baby.

288
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,667
Ow.

289
00:13:24,939 --> 00:13:26,873
Where have you been?
I've been calling you.

290
00:13:26,941 --> 00:13:28,975
Your parole officer told me.

291
00:13:29,043 --> 00:13:30,977
You missed another job interview.

292
00:13:31,045 --> 00:13:33,380
I didn't wanna tell ya
until everything was settled.

293
00:13:33,448 --> 00:13:35,615
I have incredible news.

294
00:13:35,683 --> 00:13:38,685
I got a job.

295
00:13:38,753 --> 00:13:40,420
A real job,

296
00:13:40,488 --> 00:13:43,223
as a financial advisor
in a top tier company.

297
00:13:43,291 --> 00:13:45,592
Are you serious? Dad, that's great.

298
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:47,561
I never thought it
would happen again...

299
00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:50,063
The suits, the business
lunches, the ability to pay.

300
00:13:50,131 --> 00:13:52,132
My own hotel bills. I
can't stop pinching myself.

301
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,533
What's the firm?

302
00:13:53,601 --> 00:13:54,868
Thorpe Enterprises.

303
00:13:54,936 --> 00:13:56,636
I'll be working with
Russell Thorpe himself.

304
00:13:56,704 --> 00:13:58,672
See you later, pal.

305
00:14:01,242 --> 00:14:03,743
Hey, Chuck.

306
00:14:03,811 --> 00:14:07,914
Did I just walk past
your dad in a $2,000 suit?

307
00:14:07,982 --> 00:14:10,417
Seems The Captain, who
could barely get an interview.

308
00:14:10,485 --> 00:14:13,186
For a custodial position,
got a big executive job.

309
00:14:13,254 --> 00:14:15,489
With the guy trying to buy your company.

310
00:14:23,431 --> 00:14:26,066
So... how are you enjoying your first day?

311
00:14:26,134 --> 00:14:28,068
Well, what should have been perfection.

312
00:14:28,136 --> 00:14:30,070
Has now been tainted by a run-in.

313
00:14:30,138 --> 00:14:32,272
With Brookyln's Benedict Arnold.

314
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:34,241
How am I a traitor? The only reason.

315
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:36,643
You're still here is
'cause no one has ratted out.

316
00:14:36,711 --> 00:14:38,645
Your attempts at sabotage to Epperly.

317
00:14:38,713 --> 00:14:40,614
And the only reason you're still here.

318
00:14:40,681 --> 00:14:42,716
Is because no one's asked
you, "who's Givenchy?"

319
00:14:42,783 --> 00:14:45,218
Lynn Hirschberg's
flight from Dublin got canceled.

320
00:14:45,286 --> 00:14:47,621
I knew Stefano should've made
that Colin Farrell interview.

321
00:14:47,688 --> 00:14:49,656
A phoner instead.

322
00:14:49,724 --> 00:14:51,124
Hirschberg's out.

323
00:14:51,192 --> 00:14:52,659
Major disaster.

324
00:14:52,727 --> 00:14:55,795
Unless someone... shows
up with a new author.

325
00:14:55,863 --> 00:14:57,931
And saves the day.

326
00:14:57,999 --> 00:15:01,034
Yes.

327
00:15:01,102 --> 00:15:03,036
And when she does, she will shine.

328
00:15:03,104 --> 00:15:04,604
As the best intern.

329
00:15:04,672 --> 00:15:06,006
And her insipid competition will be fired.

330
00:15:06,073 --> 00:15:08,108
You do realize that I know

331
00:15:08,176 --> 00:15:09,976
Jeremiah Harris personally, right?

332
00:15:10,044 --> 00:15:12,312
And you do realize that I know
everyone personally, right?

333
00:15:12,380 --> 00:15:14,481
Okay, so then we'll both
show up with our authors.

334
00:15:14,549 --> 00:15:16,983
Tonight at the party, and
whoever Epperly decides.

335
00:15:17,051 --> 00:15:19,386
Is the best fit for "W"
wins. The other resigns.

336
00:15:19,453 --> 00:15:21,688
I can agree to that.

337
00:15:21,756 --> 00:15:23,423
It's gotta be a clean fight.

338
00:15:23,491 --> 00:15:25,892
Do you understand that
as a concept? No sabotage?

339
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,295
I can't wait to see you
bleeding on the rack.

340
00:15:28,362 --> 00:15:32,065
But yes, no sabotage.

341
00:15:37,638 --> 00:15:40,607
Hey, is Eric here? I'm
supposed to take him to lunch.

342
00:15:40,675 --> 00:15:43,043
Oh, he's brooding in his room.

343
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:44,644
Here. Vanya asked me to give this to you.

344
00:15:44,712 --> 00:15:46,079
What is it?

345
00:15:46,147 --> 00:15:47,514
Everything okay, Lily?

346
00:15:47,582 --> 00:15:49,316
Yes, it's nothing.
I'll deal with it later.

347
00:15:49,383 --> 00:15:50,850
Oh, come on, mom. We're all trying.

348
00:15:50,918 --> 00:15:52,485
To move forward here. No more secrets.

349
00:15:52,553 --> 00:15:54,688
Well, it's not a secret.
In fact, I have no idea.

350
00:15:54,755 --> 00:15:56,523
What it is or who it's from.

351
00:15:56,591 --> 00:16:00,026
Then what's the big deal about
opening it in front of us?

352
00:16:07,335 --> 00:16:09,936
This was for Ben.

353
00:16:10,004 --> 00:16:12,806
"Please use this money to start a new life.

354
00:16:12,873 --> 00:16:14,741
Far away from me and my family."

355
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,715
Charming, mom.

356
00:16:21,782 --> 00:16:25,151
Seems Serena's getting
frosty with her mother.

357
00:16:25,219 --> 00:16:28,255
Over an envelope of cold-hard cash.

358
00:16:28,322 --> 00:16:30,090
Looks like not everything or everyone's.

359
00:16:35,121 --> 00:16:36,922
Well, at least now I know why Ben lied.

360
00:16:36,989 --> 00:16:39,457
He doesn't wanna have
anything to do with me because

361
00:16:39,525 --> 00:16:41,459
I'm the daughter of the person that ruined.

362
00:16:41,527 --> 00:16:43,261
The last three years of his life.

363
00:16:43,329 --> 00:16:45,063
And is trying to ruin the rest of it.

364
00:16:45,131 --> 00:16:47,032
$30,000 would hardly ruin his life.

365
00:16:47,099 --> 00:16:49,234
You said you were gonna
help Ben find an apartment,

366
00:16:49,302 --> 00:16:51,202
not pay him to disappear.

367
00:16:51,270 --> 00:16:53,271
Mom paid someone off again.

368
00:16:53,339 --> 00:16:54,839
Well, we should make this a drinking game.

369
00:16:54,907 --> 00:16:57,175
Ben Donovan has information
that can ruin this family.

370
00:16:57,243 --> 00:16:59,010
What's wrong with not wanting him around?

371
00:16:59,078 --> 00:17:00,612
Because he's blameless.

372
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,614
Because he was a wonderful teacher.

373
00:17:02,682 --> 00:17:05,317
Who can't do what he loves thanks to you,

374
00:17:05,384 --> 00:17:07,452
and because he deserves more.

375
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,120
I'm going out.

376
00:17:09,188 --> 00:17:11,489
I'm right behind you.

377
00:17:11,557 --> 00:17:13,959
Yeah. Hold the elevator.

378
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:26,771
Well, I did a little
Humphrey smooth talking,

379
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,907
and Jeremiah Harris said
he'd be delighted to come,

380
00:17:28,975 --> 00:17:32,010
so I'm just gonna add his
name to the list real quick.

381
00:17:32,078 --> 00:17:34,746
Oh! Well, you can put him
under Lorrie Moore, my author.

382
00:17:34,814 --> 00:17:36,314
He'll be most comfortable there.

383
00:17:36,382 --> 00:17:39,017
I don't think so. Before
Jeremiah Harris was a novelist,

384
00:17:39,085 --> 00:17:41,019
he wrote film reviews for "Vanity Fair,"

385
00:17:41,087 --> 00:17:43,188
and he had a wine column in "Bon Appetit,"

386
00:17:43,255 --> 00:17:45,657
and Stefano also knows
him from "The Times."

387
00:17:45,725 --> 00:17:47,592
So? Lorrie Moore was a 2010 finalist.

388
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:49,060
For the P.E.N./Faulkner Award.

389
00:17:49,128 --> 00:17:51,096
True. Maybe she is a better get.

390
00:17:51,163 --> 00:17:53,031
Oh, but did I mention that Jeremiah.

391
00:17:53,099 --> 00:17:55,066
Is on the board of admissions at Williams,

392
00:17:55,134 --> 00:17:57,469
where Stefano's niece
is applying to college?

393
00:18:02,842 --> 00:18:06,444
So glad you called.
Afternooners are my favorite.

394
00:18:06,512 --> 00:18:09,147
I thought you said you
were totally aboveboard.

395
00:18:09,215 --> 00:18:10,915
When it comes to business.

396
00:18:10,983 --> 00:18:13,051
I did, and I am.

397
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,953
So why did you hire
my best friend's father.

398
00:18:15,021 --> 00:18:16,921
To work for your company?

399
00:18:16,989 --> 00:18:18,423
The Captain?

400
00:18:18,491 --> 00:18:21,026
He and my dad are old friends.

401
00:18:21,093 --> 00:18:23,194
My father believes in second chances,

402
00:18:23,262 --> 00:18:25,964
and we need someone who
knows the lay of the land.

403
00:18:26,032 --> 00:18:28,366
His son's my roommate.
It's an obvious conflict.

404
00:18:28,434 --> 00:18:31,403
Chuck, we just met. I had
no idea who you live with.

405
00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:34,372
I know that you're sensitive to this,

406
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,808
I assure you, Thorpe
Enterprises has no interest.

407
00:18:36,876 --> 00:18:39,411
In corporate espionage.

408
00:18:39,478 --> 00:18:43,782
Even so, I spoke to Nate.
The Captain's a loose Cannon.

409
00:18:43,849 --> 00:18:45,750
I'd consider it a personal favor.

410
00:18:45,818 --> 00:18:47,852
If you'd have him fired.

411
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,423
Now... what were you
saying about afternooners?

412
00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:54,092
Actually... I just
remembered I have a meeting.

413
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,027
Sorry, Chuck.

414
00:19:03,335 --> 00:19:05,837
Your mother might
be up to her old tricks,

415
00:19:05,905 --> 00:19:08,807
but maybe it's best for Ben to
get a fresh start without you.

416
00:19:08,874 --> 00:19:10,408
Maybe. I don't know.

417
00:19:10,476 --> 00:19:12,911
I just don't want to
go down without a fight.

418
00:19:12,978 --> 00:19:15,346
Speaking of fights, I'm at
full-on war with Humphrey.

419
00:19:15,414 --> 00:19:17,082
B., I know you like to turn.

420
00:19:17,149 --> 00:19:18,917
Everything into a contest, but surely Dan.

421
00:19:18,984 --> 00:19:20,785
Isn't your biggest competition at "W"

422
00:19:20,853 --> 00:19:23,254
All the other girls are
variations on a theme,

423
00:19:23,322 --> 00:19:26,758
and that theme... slightly
lesser versions of me.

424
00:19:26,826 --> 00:19:30,261
But... Dan is a writer.

425
00:19:30,329 --> 00:19:33,431
He makes delicious coffee.

426
00:19:33,499 --> 00:19:35,533
Never mind the fact that.

427
00:19:35,601 --> 00:19:37,435
He's not a completely
horrible-looking straight guy.

428
00:19:37,503 --> 00:19:39,471
Working at a fashion magazine.

429
00:19:39,538 --> 00:19:41,172
He's got the whole office buzzing.

430
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,842
Sounds like someone's
feeling a little threatened.

431
00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:46,845
Well, not for long. My
author will make his look like.

432
00:19:46,912 --> 00:19:49,681
A monkey with a typewriter... or maybe.

433
00:19:49,749 --> 00:19:51,649
An invisible monkey with a typewriter.

434
00:19:51,717 --> 00:19:53,051
B., I hear scheming in your voice.

435
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,586
You cannot sabotage him.

436
00:19:54,653 --> 00:19:56,588
Why not? I'm not gonna
treat him any better.

437
00:19:56,655 --> 00:19:58,456
Than all my other enemies just because.

438
00:19:58,524 --> 00:19:59,891
You sporadically love him.

439
00:19:59,959 --> 00:20:01,593
He's not your enemy.

440
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:03,394
Earn the spotlight on your own merits.

441
00:20:03,462 --> 00:20:05,530
You'll feel better.

442
00:20:05,598 --> 00:20:08,399
Well, I'll call you later. Let Ben go?

443
00:20:08,467 --> 00:20:10,435
Let Dan be.

444
00:20:12,571 --> 00:20:15,406
Oh, picking up a late lunch for Epperly?

445
00:20:15,474 --> 00:20:17,776
No. Actually, it's for you.

446
00:20:17,843 --> 00:20:19,744
Don't worry. It's not poisoned.

447
00:20:19,812 --> 00:20:21,413
I wouldn't wanna win due
to my rival's starvation,

448
00:20:21,581 --> 00:20:23,549
and I figured you were
too much of a food snob.

449
00:20:23,617 --> 00:20:25,818
To deign to eat at the commissary.

450
00:20:25,886 --> 00:20:28,154
And Epperly needs me to
alphabetize. Duty calls.

451
00:21:06,692 --> 00:21:09,527
Fancy seeing you here, Mr. Donovan.

452
00:21:09,595 --> 00:21:11,029
Damien Dalgaard.

453
00:21:11,096 --> 00:21:13,998
I heard you went to the
pokey for poking a student.

454
00:21:14,066 --> 00:21:16,100
Congratulations on getting out.

455
00:21:16,168 --> 00:21:19,037
Sure you've been doing a
lot of celebrating, yeah?

456
00:21:19,104 --> 00:21:21,306
Wanna buy some party favors?

457
00:21:21,373 --> 00:21:24,309
So it's true.

458
00:21:24,376 --> 00:21:27,245
Straitlaced academic star became a dealer.

459
00:21:27,313 --> 00:21:29,214
Guilty.

460
00:21:29,281 --> 00:21:31,216
I remember that paper you wrote.

461
00:21:31,283 --> 00:21:33,484
Comparing "The Wire" to "The Iliad."

462
00:21:33,552 --> 00:21:35,520
Did not intend for English comp.

463
00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:37,989
To be an occupational training course.

464
00:21:38,057 --> 00:21:40,458
Well, you always said what
we learned in high school.

465
00:21:40,526 --> 00:21:42,594
Would inform our futures
in unexpected ways.

466
00:21:42,661 --> 00:21:44,562
Yeah, the
thing with "The Wire" is.

467
00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:46,497
The witnesses usually had evidence.

468
00:21:46,565 --> 00:21:48,099
Before they testified.

469
00:21:48,167 --> 00:21:50,501
I know you were the one who said you saw.

470
00:21:50,569 --> 00:21:53,738
Me and Serena at that BandB.

471
00:21:53,806 --> 00:21:55,840
I told the truth.

472
00:21:55,908 --> 00:21:59,143
Nothing happened between
me and Serena that night,

473
00:21:59,211 --> 00:22:01,145
but I went to prison anyway.

474
00:22:01,213 --> 00:22:03,081
You say "potato." Judge says "pedophile."

475
00:22:06,085 --> 00:22:07,886
Well, it's been great catching up, Mr. D.,

476
00:22:07,953 --> 00:22:10,221
but my friend just arrived.

477
00:22:10,289 --> 00:22:12,991
I'd introduce you, but
you may or may not have.

478
00:22:13,058 --> 00:22:15,593
Statutorily raped his sister.
Might be a tad awkward.

479
00:22:19,331 --> 00:22:22,200
Let's go. Get a table.

480
00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:39,183
Good job today. I think you could be.

481
00:22:39,251 --> 00:22:41,653
A great fit here, provided you survive.

482
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,322
I try and stay out of the intern drama,

483
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:46,024
but I couldn't help but notice.

484
00:22:46,091 --> 00:22:47,859
Your friend Blair's a little competitive.

485
00:22:47,927 --> 00:22:49,260
I don't know what you're talking about.

486
00:22:49,328 --> 00:22:50,995
I admire your loyalty.

487
00:22:51,063 --> 00:22:53,364
Maybe the striver thing is all an act,

488
00:22:53,432 --> 00:22:55,333
and maybe it's just a coincidence.

489
00:22:55,401 --> 00:22:57,335
That my coffee tasted like her perfume.

490
00:22:57,403 --> 00:23:00,004
I'm sure you know her better than I do.

491
00:23:00,072 --> 00:23:02,106
Yeah, I do know her.

492
00:23:02,174 --> 00:23:04,709
I know that her
kindergarten yearbook quote

493
00:23:04,777 --> 00:23:07,178
is "The best defense is a good offense."

494
00:23:27,466 --> 00:23:29,901
Hi. Uh, Ms. Moore, I'm
an assistant at "w,"

495
00:23:29,969 --> 00:23:33,137
and I'm afraid there has
been a terrible mix-up.

496
00:23:33,205 --> 00:23:35,707
Careful, D., it's flu season,

497
00:23:35,774 --> 00:23:39,110
but nothing's more
contagious than mistrust.

498
00:23:58,614 --> 00:24:01,449
I'll be right back. One second.

499
00:24:03,352 --> 00:24:05,820
Uh, where's mom?

500
00:24:05,888 --> 00:24:07,789
She's still licking her wounds.

501
00:24:07,856 --> 00:24:09,791
We were all pretty hard
on her this afternoon.

502
00:24:09,858 --> 00:24:12,360
I never would have come to a
party like this without her,

503
00:24:12,428 --> 00:24:14,529
but I needed some air.

504
00:24:14,596 --> 00:24:16,497
Oh, hey, I get it. Being in a room.

505
00:24:16,565 --> 00:24:19,734
With a selfish manipulator can
really suck the life out of you.

506
00:24:19,802 --> 00:24:22,236
She's worried. She's just
trying to protect her family.

507
00:24:22,304 --> 00:24:23,871
Hey.

508
00:24:23,939 --> 00:24:26,941
You two have a good
time. I'll see you later.

509
00:24:28,344 --> 00:24:29,677
Great party.

510
00:24:29,745 --> 00:24:32,146
Are you hungry? There's appetizers.

511
00:24:32,214 --> 00:24:36,517
Yes, yeah. I'm gonna...
I'll grab us some, yeah?

512
00:24:38,487 --> 00:24:43,791
Thakery, Imoon, enjoy your treats.

513
00:24:46,729 --> 00:24:48,963
Um, I need to talk to you.

514
00:24:49,031 --> 00:24:51,632
Hi.

515
00:24:57,172 --> 00:24:59,941
Chuck Bass... and no guest.

516
00:25:00,009 --> 00:25:01,509
You may enter.

517
00:25:01,577 --> 00:25:03,378
Blair Waldorf working the door?

518
00:25:03,445 --> 00:25:05,747
I got an internship at "W"

519
00:25:05,814 --> 00:25:08,816
Knowing you, you'll be editor
by may. Your plan's working.

520
00:25:08,884 --> 00:25:11,652
So it seems to be.

521
00:25:24,566 --> 00:25:26,934
Ben, you came.

522
00:25:27,002 --> 00:25:29,437
Thank you for meeting
me here. Can we talk?

523
00:25:29,505 --> 00:25:32,407
Serena, I'm actually here
because I saw your brother Eric.

524
00:25:32,474 --> 00:25:36,444
With Damien Dalgaard, who we
both know is a drug dealer.

525
00:25:36,512 --> 00:25:38,880
No. No, no. Eric hates Damien,

526
00:25:38,947 --> 00:25:40,948
and he doesn't do drugs,

527
00:25:41,016 --> 00:25:43,584
so there... there must be
some sort of explanation.

528
00:25:45,521 --> 00:25:48,956
Jonathan. Hey.

529
00:25:49,024 --> 00:25:50,825
By any chance, have you seen Eric?

530
00:25:50,893 --> 00:25:54,495
Eric? No. The guy should become
a magician. He disappeared.

531
00:25:54,563 --> 00:25:56,898
I thought we were here on a date.

532
00:25:56,965 --> 00:25:59,267
I guess I'm getting played once again.

533
00:25:59,334 --> 00:26:01,202
I'm sorry. A date? What about Elliot?

534
00:26:01,270 --> 00:26:02,703
Elliot dumped him.

535
00:26:02,771 --> 00:26:04,572
He didn't tell you?

536
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,141
He promised me he was over
his Jenny Humphrey phase.

537
00:26:07,209 --> 00:26:09,944
I guess he was wrong...

538
00:26:10,012 --> 00:26:12,146
Or maybe I was, for believing him.

539
00:26:14,583 --> 00:26:17,151
It'll be okay. Come on. Let's find him.

540
00:26:25,427 --> 00:26:27,428
Lorrie is a bit late,

541
00:26:27,496 --> 00:26:29,430
but she'll be here any minute.

542
00:26:29,498 --> 00:26:31,566
I hope Jeremiah brought his "a" game.

543
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:33,034
Oh, he's not here yet either.

544
00:26:33,102 --> 00:26:34,435
Any reason you think he might be late?

545
00:26:34,503 --> 00:26:36,671
The guy is a famous recluse.

546
00:26:36,738 --> 00:26:38,906
He might not show up at all.
It's your fault for picking him.

547
00:26:38,974 --> 00:26:40,908
My fa... oh, you've
got to be kidding me.

548
00:26:40,976 --> 00:26:42,443
We said no sabotaging.

549
00:26:42,511 --> 00:26:44,212
What are you talking about?

550
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:46,614
Jeremiah. Hi.

551
00:26:48,117 --> 00:26:50,051
Mr. Humphrey, show me to the bar.

552
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,987
I warn you, if the krug
is warmer than 55 degrees,

553
00:26:53,055 --> 00:26:53,988
I'm leaving.

554
00:26:54,056 --> 00:26:55,456
Jeremiah Harris?

555
00:26:55,524 --> 00:26:56,924
Epperly Lawrence.

556
00:26:56,992 --> 00:26:58,693
Yes. How do you do?

557
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,395
Daniel told me you
were in a bit of a bind.

558
00:27:01,463 --> 00:27:04,198
Nice. Let's get you a glass of champagne.

559
00:27:04,266 --> 00:27:07,635
I'll tell you all about our plans.

560
00:27:07,703 --> 00:27:09,871
O.M.G.

561
00:27:09,938 --> 00:27:13,674
I was just poleaxed by a poor person.

562
00:27:17,913 --> 00:27:20,214
Fancy seeing you here.

563
00:27:20,282 --> 00:27:23,217
Chuck, this is Stuart Fuji.
He's in the film business.

564
00:27:23,285 --> 00:27:25,620
Stuart, can I borrow her for a moment?

565
00:27:28,524 --> 00:27:30,291
What are you doing with that bore?

566
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,693
Let's get out of here.

567
00:27:32,761 --> 00:27:34,662
Actually, I'm having a nice time.

568
00:27:34,730 --> 00:27:37,899
Stuart understands that when
I say I'm telling the truth,

569
00:27:37,966 --> 00:27:39,267
I am.

570
00:27:39,334 --> 00:27:41,202
Raina, you're trying to take my company.

571
00:27:41,270 --> 00:27:43,304
How can I just trust you?

572
00:27:43,372 --> 00:27:45,907
You'd think less of me if I did.

573
00:27:45,974 --> 00:27:48,643
I couldn't think less of
you than I do right now.

574
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:51,579
Sorry.

575
00:27:51,647 --> 00:27:55,116
I wouldn't be like this if
it wasn't my father's legacy.

576
00:27:55,184 --> 00:27:59,453
Stakes are too high to
take a chance on trust.

577
00:27:59,521 --> 00:28:01,856
Hey.

578
00:28:01,924 --> 00:28:03,624
It's just business.

579
00:28:03,692 --> 00:28:08,196
From now on, I don't even know
if we have that to discuss.

580
00:28:13,635 --> 00:28:15,169
Maybe Eric went home.

581
00:28:15,237 --> 00:28:18,072
He doesn't really like parties anyway.

582
00:28:20,776 --> 00:28:23,444
He can't be buying from Damien.

583
00:28:23,512 --> 00:28:25,213
Come on.

584
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,315
Your sister just clocked us.

585
00:28:29,284 --> 00:28:31,919
Okay, wh-what do we do?
Just go with me on this one.

586
00:28:31,987 --> 00:28:36,958
Well, I'm gonna go get a drink.
Would you like anything, babe?

587
00:28:37,025 --> 00:28:40,494
Uh...

588
00:28:43,265 --> 00:28:45,199
So you're Damien's "babe" now?

589
00:28:46,868 --> 00:28:51,405
You... Williamsburg weasel!

590
00:28:51,473 --> 00:28:54,108
I can't believe you
stabbed me in the back.

591
00:28:54,176 --> 00:28:57,078
I only did it because I
thought you did the same to me.

592
00:28:57,145 --> 00:28:58,980
Hillary Clinton is one of my role models.

593
00:28:59,047 --> 00:29:01,916
I do not break treaties, you
ass, but I do secure borders,

594
00:29:01,984 --> 00:29:03,851
so I'm gonna go tell Epperly
what you did right now.

595
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:07,188
No. Blair, wait. Look, we can...
We can figure something out.

596
00:29:07,256 --> 00:29:10,291
Let go of me, you classless cling-on.

597
00:29:10,359 --> 00:29:13,060
Blair, do not go to Epperly.
I need this job, all right?

598
00:29:13,128 --> 00:29:14,395
No!

599
00:29:14,463 --> 00:29:17,365
Uh... whoa.

600
00:29:17,432 --> 00:29:19,500
Aah!

601
00:29:21,737 --> 00:29:23,271
Oh, no.

602
00:29:25,307 --> 00:29:26,374
Oh, is that...

603
00:29:26,441 --> 00:29:29,677
Stefano Tonchi. I'm on the list.

604
00:29:29,745 --> 00:29:31,178
Stefano, this way, please.

605
00:29:33,582 --> 00:29:37,985
Spotted... dubious friends
in definite hot water.

606
00:29:38,053 --> 00:29:40,621
Obviously, you're both
fired. Go back to the office.

607
00:29:40,689 --> 00:29:42,923
And pack your things.

608
00:29:42,991 --> 00:29:44,659
Looks like "W" just left Dan and Blair.

609
00:29:55,620 --> 00:29:58,521
I just got an interesting
phone call from Raina Thorpe.

610
00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:02,092
Did you tell Chuck to have me fired?

611
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:05,228
Let me guess. Uh,
you thought I'd embarrass you.

612
00:30:05,296 --> 00:30:07,230
The Thorpe's were trying to
take over Bass Industries.

613
00:30:07,298 --> 00:30:09,566
We thought they might be using
you just to get information.

614
00:30:09,634 --> 00:30:11,167
I'm a grown man, Nate,

615
00:30:11,235 --> 00:30:14,170
and I'm actually good at
what I do. Chuck is family.

616
00:30:14,238 --> 00:30:17,807
I would never do anything
to jeopardize things for him.

617
00:30:17,875 --> 00:30:20,310
You do realize that's a
total contradiction, though,

618
00:30:20,378 --> 00:30:22,679
being Chuck's family and
then working for the Thorpe's?

619
00:30:22,747 --> 00:30:25,382
Word around the office is that
he's banging Thorpe's daughter.

620
00:30:25,449 --> 00:30:27,350
Talk about sleeping with the enemy.

621
00:30:27,418 --> 00:30:29,386
But that's Chuck's decision, okay?

622
00:30:29,453 --> 00:30:31,755
And whatever happens with
Raina is on him and him alone.

623
00:30:31,822 --> 00:30:33,890
You need the second chance.

624
00:30:33,958 --> 00:30:35,825
You can't go down in another scandal.

625
00:30:35,893 --> 00:30:38,762
So you're getting me fired instead?

626
00:30:38,829 --> 00:30:40,764
All those nights in prison,

627
00:30:40,831 --> 00:30:43,867
when I thought I couldn't take it,

628
00:30:43,934 --> 00:30:45,769
when I wanted to quit.

629
00:30:45,836 --> 00:30:50,340
Or die or... I didn't,
because I knew there was still.

630
00:30:50,408 --> 00:30:52,809
One person out there who believed in me.

631
00:30:52,877 --> 00:30:54,878
Dad, you'll get another job.

632
00:30:54,945 --> 00:30:57,247
Yeah, washing toilets.

633
00:30:57,315 --> 00:31:00,183
You know what? I think I'd
rather live in a halfway house.

634
00:31:00,251 --> 00:31:02,719
Than live with someone
who only halfway trusts me.

635
00:31:10,695 --> 00:31:12,095
Come on. It was just an internship.

636
00:31:12,163 --> 00:31:13,797
I'm sure you can have your mother call.

637
00:31:13,864 --> 00:31:15,765
And get you a new one in a second.

638
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:18,234
My mother didn't get me
"W" She's a designer.

639
00:31:18,302 --> 00:31:20,136
She can't call in favors
from a fashion magazine.

640
00:31:20,204 --> 00:31:23,139
Well, you don't get jobs like
this without a connection.

641
00:31:23,207 --> 00:31:25,875
Well, I did. I practically
stalked Stefano.

642
00:31:25,943 --> 00:31:27,877
I spent the night at his
lobby waiting to meet him.

643
00:31:27,945 --> 00:31:30,914
And after the police escorted
me out for the third time,

644
00:31:30,981 --> 00:31:33,650
I faxed a letter to every
machine in the building.

645
00:31:33,718 --> 00:31:35,018
That's like 200 fax machines.

646
00:31:35,086 --> 00:31:37,087
332.

647
00:31:37,154 --> 00:31:39,389
Wow, Blair, I'm so sorry.

648
00:31:39,457 --> 00:31:41,424
I didn't know any of this.

649
00:31:41,492 --> 00:31:43,927
What, the fact that
you were willfully ignorant.

650
00:31:43,994 --> 00:31:47,330
Is supposed to make me feel better?

651
00:31:47,398 --> 00:31:50,500
You wanted an internship.
I wanted this one.

652
00:31:50,568 --> 00:31:52,402
So why didn't you just sabotage me?

653
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:54,371
You had every opportunity.

654
00:31:54,438 --> 00:31:56,539
Guess I must have some
undiagnosed brain injury,

655
00:31:56,607 --> 00:31:58,108
because I stupidly thought.

656
00:31:58,175 --> 00:32:00,310
That this fake friendship might be real.

657
00:32:09,353 --> 00:32:11,287
Damien Dalgaard,
of all people...

658
00:32:11,355 --> 00:32:13,323
You know what kind of person he is.

659
00:32:13,391 --> 00:32:15,225
Oh, so now you wanna get all sisterly?

660
00:32:15,292 --> 00:32:16,793
You're dating a demon.

661
00:32:16,861 --> 00:32:19,529
Can't you see he's using
you like he did Jenny?

662
00:32:19,597 --> 00:32:20,964
Why? 'Cause nobody could
ever like me for me?

663
00:32:21,031 --> 00:32:22,899
Hey, I know what it
feels like when you think.

664
00:32:22,967 --> 00:32:24,434
You got no one to turn to.

665
00:32:24,502 --> 00:32:26,069
Who the hell are you?

666
00:32:26,137 --> 00:32:28,138
I'm Ben,
Serena's...

667
00:32:28,205 --> 00:32:30,039
Non-rapist but still technically
ex-con former teacher.

668
00:32:30,107 --> 00:32:32,609
You have taken up a lot of
time over the dinner table.

669
00:32:32,676 --> 00:32:34,010
At our house.

670
00:32:34,078 --> 00:32:35,979
I'm sure all that drama
has been overshadowing.

671
00:32:36,046 --> 00:32:38,515
What's going on in everyone
else's life, especially yours.

672
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:40,116
No offense, man, but
mind your own business.

673
00:32:40,184 --> 00:32:41,684
When I got locked up,

674
00:32:41,752 --> 00:32:43,720
I... befriended some not very good guys.

675
00:32:43,788 --> 00:32:45,722
Found out the hard way,

676
00:32:45,790 --> 00:32:48,191
when you do things
that betray who you are,

677
00:32:48,259 --> 00:32:50,593
it can become very difficult
to recognize yourself.

678
00:32:52,863 --> 00:32:54,964
I don't wanna see that happen to you.

679
00:32:55,032 --> 00:32:56,766
Please, Eric.

680
00:32:58,302 --> 00:33:00,303
Mom did this awful thing,

681
00:33:00,371 --> 00:33:02,372
and... and you went
away to Ostroff,

682
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,042
and I was looking so forward
to just being away with Elliot.

683
00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:07,510
And having somebody to talk to,

684
00:33:07,578 --> 00:33:09,846
and then he broke up with
me, and I didn't have anybody.

685
00:33:09,914 --> 00:33:11,748
You always have me.

686
00:33:11,816 --> 00:33:15,151
No, I didn't. You were
off chasing some judge,

687
00:33:15,219 --> 00:33:16,653
trying to help him.

688
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,788
I don't want to feel sad.

689
00:33:18,856 --> 00:33:21,791
I didn't wanna feel anything,
and the one thing about Damien.

690
00:33:21,859 --> 00:33:23,760
Is he is a good distraction, but...

691
00:33:25,429 --> 00:33:26,796
You're right.

692
00:33:26,864 --> 00:33:28,631
Thank you.

693
00:33:28,699 --> 00:33:31,134
I won't see him anymore.

694
00:33:37,842 --> 00:33:40,176
Um, Serena, can I speak to you?

695
00:33:40,244 --> 00:33:42,879
It's okay. I gotta go anyway.

696
00:33:45,816 --> 00:33:48,017
What Juliet did... has
it crossed your mind.

697
00:33:48,085 --> 00:33:49,986
That Ben was at least
partially responsible?

698
00:33:50,054 --> 00:33:53,389
He wanted revenge because he
thought I put him in prison.

699
00:33:53,457 --> 00:33:56,392
But that's in the past.
You know, he just gave Eric.

700
00:33:56,460 --> 00:33:58,228
Some really fatherly
advice, helped convince him.

701
00:33:58,295 --> 00:33:59,662
To stay away from Damien Dalgaard.

702
00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:01,397
Damien?

703
00:34:01,465 --> 00:34:02,899
Look, I would love to explain,

704
00:34:02,967 --> 00:34:04,767
but I need to find Ben right now.

705
00:34:06,971 --> 00:34:09,839
Epperly, uh, it's Dan Humphrey.
I know I ruined your party.

706
00:34:09,907 --> 00:34:11,374
And humiliated your boss.

707
00:34:11,442 --> 00:34:14,344
And there's no reason for you to
want to listen to me right now,

708
00:34:14,411 --> 00:34:16,212
but I've got to tell you something.

709
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,015
Eric.

710
00:34:19,083 --> 00:34:21,417
I just heard that you've
been hanging out with Damien.

711
00:34:21,485 --> 00:34:23,119
Are you doing drugs?

712
00:34:23,187 --> 00:34:26,523
You know, I could lie and say no.

713
00:34:26,590 --> 00:34:29,859
Um... but I bought sleeping pills.

714
00:34:29,927 --> 00:34:31,761
And then I needed
Adderall to wake back up,

715
00:34:31,829 --> 00:34:33,863
but that was it, and, um,

716
00:34:33,931 --> 00:34:36,199
it was stupid, and I'm done with it.

717
00:34:36,267 --> 00:34:40,069
If you need help, I wanna
make sure you get it.

718
00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:42,372
No, I don't care about the drugs.

719
00:34:42,439 --> 00:34:45,608
Damien was just there when
no one else would listen.

720
00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:58,621
Ben, wait. Please don't avoid me.

721
00:34:58,689 --> 00:35:00,790
I wanna be your friend.

722
00:35:00,858 --> 00:35:03,026
Serena, it's a lot easier
for me to start over.

723
00:35:03,093 --> 00:35:05,094
Without any reminders from my past.

724
00:35:05,162 --> 00:35:07,564
But why? I saw you talking to Eric,

725
00:35:07,631 --> 00:35:10,199
and it reminded me of what you were like.

726
00:35:10,267 --> 00:35:11,801
At boarding school.

727
00:35:11,869 --> 00:35:14,337
I'm not that person anymore.

728
00:35:14,405 --> 00:35:15,738
Yes, you are.

729
00:35:15,806 --> 00:35:17,674
You wanna know why I've been avoiding you?

730
00:35:17,741 --> 00:35:20,577
Because I see that look in your eye,

731
00:35:20,644 --> 00:35:23,079
and I know exactly what it means.

732
00:35:23,147 --> 00:35:25,214
But I don't wanna be with you.

733
00:35:25,282 --> 00:35:28,051
I didn't reciprocate back
then, and I don't now.

734
00:35:28,118 --> 00:35:30,353
I'm sorry.

736
00:35:49,566 --> 00:35:51,066
I'm not heartbroken. I'm humiliated.

737
00:35:51,134 --> 00:35:54,170
I was falling for someone who
wants nothing to do with me.

738
00:35:54,237 --> 00:35:56,071
And I thought I found my calling,

739
00:35:56,139 --> 00:35:58,607
and now the only thing
that brings me any joy.

740
00:35:58,675 --> 00:36:01,076
Is planning Dan Humphrey's
long, slow demise.

741
00:36:06,483 --> 00:36:08,017
Epperly?

742
00:36:08,084 --> 00:36:09,585
It's 9:20. Where are you?

743
00:36:09,653 --> 00:36:11,787
W-what are you talking
about? You fired me.

744
00:36:11,855 --> 00:36:14,156
Yes, and then Dan confessed
that you were the one.

745
00:36:14,224 --> 00:36:16,192
Who called Jeremiah, and he
took credit for it and then.

746
00:36:16,259 --> 00:36:17,693
Staged that whole wrestling
stunt to embarrass you.

747
00:36:17,761 --> 00:36:19,061
I was totally wrong about
him. If you're gonna be.

748
00:36:19,129 --> 00:36:20,496
A backstabber, just stab
some backs, you know?

749
00:36:20,564 --> 00:36:22,131
Are you saying...

750
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:24,633
That Alex White is
styling eight looks today,

751
00:36:24,701 --> 00:36:27,436
and I need someone to
steam the couture? Yes.

752
00:36:27,504 --> 00:36:31,173
I'll be there in 15.
You know what I just remembered?

753
00:36:31,241 --> 00:36:33,175
If you really want something,

754
00:36:33,243 --> 00:36:35,744
you don't stop for anyone
or anything until you get it.

755
00:36:43,787 --> 00:36:45,321
Thanks for meeting me.

756
00:36:45,388 --> 00:36:48,390
Serena told me how helpful
you were with Eric yesterday.

757
00:36:48,458 --> 00:36:51,694
Just saying what I thought.

758
00:36:51,761 --> 00:36:54,864
Ben, I realize my wife hasn't
treated you justly in any way.

759
00:36:54,931 --> 00:36:56,432
I'd like to help.

760
00:36:56,499 --> 00:36:58,467
You're not gonna offer
me more money, are you?

761
00:36:58,535 --> 00:37:02,238
You deserve a real shot at
getting back on your feet again,

762
00:37:02,305 --> 00:37:05,441
and that's gonna be tough to
do living in a halfway house.

763
00:37:05,508 --> 00:37:07,443
I have an extra room at my loft,

764
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:09,411
and I-I'd love it if you moved in.

765
00:37:14,284 --> 00:37:15,618
After everything that's happened,

766
00:37:15,685 --> 00:37:18,120
it's the least we can do.

767
00:37:20,223 --> 00:37:23,726
I haven't experienced a
lot of kindness lately.

768
00:37:23,793 --> 00:37:27,296
I gotta think about
it, but... sounds good.

769
00:37:27,364 --> 00:37:28,931
Take your time.

770
00:37:37,540 --> 00:37:40,409
Hi. Could you connect
me to room 312, please?

771
00:37:40,477 --> 00:37:42,811
Howard Archibald.

772
00:37:44,481 --> 00:37:46,782
What do you mean, he's checked out?

773
00:37:48,618 --> 00:37:50,252
Yeah.

774
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,387
This winter.

775
00:37:51,454 --> 00:37:52,454
Thank you.

776
00:37:52,522 --> 00:37:54,590
Even though we bundle up,

777
00:37:54,658 --> 00:37:57,793
a cold shoulder can freeze us out.

778
00:37:59,195 --> 00:38:01,830
I heard about what young
bass asked Raina to do.

779
00:38:01,898 --> 00:38:03,332
It's terrible.

780
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,768
Well, I'm just thankful
she gave me the heads up.

781
00:38:05,835 --> 00:38:07,803
And you gave me a chance to talk.

782
00:38:07,871 --> 00:38:09,471
We're old friends, and
you're doing a bang-up job.

783
00:38:09,539 --> 00:38:11,307
I, uh, should've told you about my plans.

784
00:38:11,374 --> 00:38:12,908
For Bass Industries,

785
00:38:12,976 --> 00:38:15,311
but I didn't wanna put you
in a compromising position.

786
00:38:15,378 --> 00:38:17,746
I completely understand,
and I can assure you,

787
00:38:17,814 --> 00:38:21,583
there are no conflicts anymore.
Whatever you need, I'm your guy.

788
00:38:25,522 --> 00:38:28,457
What are you doing here?

789
00:38:28,525 --> 00:38:30,759
I was wrong to ask you
to fire The Captain.

790
00:38:30,827 --> 00:38:33,796
Stuart, a moment?

791
00:38:33,863 --> 00:38:36,498
Yes, you were.

792
00:38:36,566 --> 00:38:38,434
I told you who I was when we met.

793
00:38:38,501 --> 00:38:40,402
I don't play games.

794
00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:42,571
In business or in my personal life.

795
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:44,974
My father is gonna do
everything humanly possible.

796
00:38:45,041 --> 00:38:46,909
To acquire Bass Industries.

797
00:38:46,977 --> 00:38:49,445
It's not a secret. It's a fact.

798
00:38:49,512 --> 00:38:53,148
I know. I apologize for
losing sight of that.

799
00:38:53,216 --> 00:38:56,819
Look, you're a beautiful girl
who says what's on her mind.

800
00:38:56,886 --> 00:38:58,988
And isn't afraid of the consequences.

801
00:38:59,055 --> 00:39:00,990
I don't want to stop seeing you.

802
00:39:01,057 --> 00:39:03,659
I can handle the complications if you can.

803
00:39:03,727 --> 00:39:06,061
Hmm. I think complications.

804
00:39:06,129 --> 00:39:08,597
Are the least of what I can handle.

805
00:39:08,665 --> 00:39:10,599
But...

806
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:13,268
There is a man... in a towel.

807
00:39:13,336 --> 00:39:16,205
In my bathroom right now.

808
00:39:16,272 --> 00:39:18,273
So...

809
00:39:18,341 --> 00:39:19,808
Maybe another time?

810
00:39:44,667 --> 00:39:46,335
You look good here.

811
00:39:46,403 --> 00:39:48,704
Guess it turns out your
friend wasn't worthy.

812
00:39:48,772 --> 00:39:50,305
Tell me about it.

813
00:39:50,373 --> 00:39:53,108
I've been trying to
convince people for years.

814
00:39:53,176 --> 00:39:56,645
But just so you know, he
was never really my friend.

815
00:40:02,352 --> 00:40:06,822
Sometimes a ray of sun
shines in and gives us hope.

816
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:11,060
I offered Ben the apartment,
and he's thinking about it.

817
00:40:11,127 --> 00:40:13,829
Thank you so much, Rufus.

818
00:40:13,897 --> 00:40:15,998
We're just not gonna
take "no" for an answer.

819
00:40:16,066 --> 00:40:18,600
Ben is still a good
person. I-I know he is.

820
00:40:26,376 --> 00:40:29,011
Consider this a warning.
Stay away from Serena.

821
00:40:29,079 --> 00:40:31,980
Stay away from her family.
I remember your father,

822
00:40:32,048 --> 00:40:35,017
and I think we both know how
he would respond to your dealing.

823
00:40:35,085 --> 00:40:36,885
If someone were to tell him.

824
00:40:36,953 --> 00:40:38,954
What do you care, huh?

825
00:40:39,022 --> 00:40:41,523
Those people ruined your life, not me.

826
00:40:45,128 --> 00:40:46,728
You actually like her.

827
00:40:46,796 --> 00:40:49,798
How I feel about Serena is
none of your damn business.

828
00:40:49,866 --> 00:40:52,601
The only thing you should be
worried about is disappearing.

829
00:41:15,725 --> 00:41:18,127
Hey. What are you doing right now?

830
00:41:18,194 --> 00:41:20,629
Sorry, Damien, but
I'm done with the pills.

831
00:41:20,697 --> 00:41:25,400
No, that's not what I
meant. You wanna hang out?

832
00:41:25,468 --> 00:41:27,169
As friends.

833
00:41:27,237 --> 00:41:30,772
But on the Upper East
Side, the slipperiest ice...

834
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,142
Uh, sure. Why not?

835
00:41:33,209 --> 00:41:34,476
Good.

836
00:41:34,544 --> 00:41:37,212
Is usually right in front of us.

837
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,447
Good.

838
00:41:38,515 --> 00:41:41,650
