00:00AVERAGE WRITERS ATTEMPT ORIGINALITY
00:03BUT THE GREATS, GREAT WRITERS, STEAL
00:07BUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE SEEPS INTO YOUR WORK
00:11IF YOU'RE ASKING WHETHER MY SON'S DEATH HAS INSPIRED MY WRITING
00:15THE ANSWER IS NO, I WILL NOT BE WRITING ABOUT HIS DEATH
00:17I WILL BE WRITING IN SPITE OF IT
00:22Good morning
00:23You must be Bertie
00:25So you're my tutor
00:27Your father
00:28He's the most revered writer in the country
00:30My husband
00:31The subject of your thesis
00:33You're not here for him
00:34So don't talk about his work
00:36Don't talk about Felix
00:37Follow those rules and you should be fine
00:41It's only been two years since
00:44Felix
00:45He's off limits
00:46Don't do it again
00:50You know Liam's a writer too
00:53I've seen the novel
00:54It's actually quite good
00:58You know you're not the first
01:01There have been incidents in the past
01:05When you said I wasn't the first
01:08What did you mean?
01:11I have a new novel
01:12And I was wondering if you might be on hand for the final stretch
01:16Thought you might like to help
01:18We did all we could to save Felix
01:20But it was too late
01:22My husband was always hard to please
01:25You're changing my work
01:26I'm not
01:27I'm the writer
01:29This isn't about the writing
01:31It was only ever about the writing, Liam
01:36Why does he lock the door if he's got nothing to hide?
01:40I wanna know
01:42Don't you?
01:46It's like nothing you've written before
01:48But the ending
01:50It feels like a different novel
01:57Liam
01:58Good writers borrow
02:00Great writers steal
