"Eva knew this might be
5
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:40,708
the last time
she saw him...
6
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:43,111
The last time she saw
7
00:00:43,144 --> 00:00:45,146
the man
who had stolen her heart."

00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:54,054
Oh, Eva,
you're killing me.

00:01:09,537 --> 00:01:10,604
Ah! Gabriel August.
13
00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:12,440
I've already
pre-ordered my copy.
14
00:01:12,473 --> 00:01:13,774
I know! I set aside
that whole weekend
15
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,143
just to read it.
16
00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:17,111
I'm almost as excited
about the new book
17
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:19,147
as I am about
seeing his face.
18
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:21,749
I bet
he's so handsome.
19
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:24,385
[They sigh]
20
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:29,557
I can't do it.
21
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,193
I can't let the world know
that I'm Gabriel August.
22
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:33,227
It's part of
the deal, Liam.
23
00:01:33,261 --> 00:01:34,728
You knew that
when you signed.
24
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:36,130
Yeah, but I never thought
the first book
25
00:01:36,164 --> 00:01:37,498
would actually be successful.
26
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:38,499
[Laughs] I did!
27
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:40,501
Didn't I tell you it
would be a best-seller?
28
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,870
I just assumed you were
being nice.
29
00:01:42,903 --> 00:01:44,805
I've known you
since you were born.
30
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:46,307
I don't need to make nice.
31
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,476
You can't stay
anonymous forever.
32
00:01:48,509 --> 00:01:51,212
Readers form connections
with the books they love.
33
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:54,182
They want a relationship
with the author.
34
00:01:54,215 --> 00:01:55,283
You're a success, Liam!
35
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:56,817
Why can't you embrace it?
36
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,719
Oh, speaking of which,
37
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,854
the manuscript
for your next book is due,
38
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:03,357
and I haven't seen
any chapters.
39
00:02:03,391 --> 00:02:04,325
Oh...
40
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:07,195
I've written plenty of chapters,
and then...
41
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:09,230
Promptly
thrown them in the trash.
42
00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:10,364
Well,
43
00:02:10,398 --> 00:02:14,635
you are gonna have to find
the inspiration somewhere,
44
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:17,671
because you still owe
Harris-kingsfield two books.
45
00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:19,407
You're sure there's no way
we can just get 'em
46
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,276
to postpone the whole
Gabriel August reveal?
47
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:24,645
It's been almost impossible
holding them off this long.
48
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:25,713
It's time.
49
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,581
Why don't you go
up to the cabin
50
00:02:27,615 --> 00:02:29,317
in Portland
for a couple of weeks?
51
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:31,952
And I'll see if I can
get the reveal moved out there.
52
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:34,322
You wrote first star of evening
there in less than a month.
53
00:02:34,355 --> 00:02:35,789
I wrote it as a joke.
54
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:37,825
You wrote it because
Katherine broke your heart.
55
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:39,793
Portland has always been
a great place
56
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:41,329
for you to get
your center again.
57
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:42,730
Just like it was
for your parents.
58
00:02:42,763 --> 00:02:43,897
I remember when
your mom told me
59
00:02:43,931 --> 00:02:46,200
they were buying
a place up there.
60
00:02:46,234 --> 00:02:47,435
I thought they were crazy.
61
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:50,238
So far from everything.
62
00:02:50,271 --> 00:02:51,705
But it became
their little hideaway.
63
00:02:51,739 --> 00:02:53,574
Get out of town for a while.
64
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:55,309
Clear your head.
65
00:02:55,343 --> 00:02:59,813
And get ready for
the best chapter of your life.
66
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:02,450
The next one
is gonna be a great one.
67
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:05,919
[Announcement]: This will serve
as the final boarding call
68

69
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:09,857
and continuing on
to Portland.
70
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:14,528
[Breathless woman]:
I'm here!
71
00:03:14,562 --> 00:03:15,429
-Welcome aboard.
-Sorry.
72
00:03:15,463 --> 00:03:17,398
[Attendant]: Here,
I'll take your bag.
73
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:18,932
[Woman]: That cab driver dropped
me off at the wrong terminal.
74
00:03:18,966 --> 00:03:21,635
I can barely walk in heels,
much less run.
75
00:03:21,669 --> 00:03:23,637
[Attendant]: 1-c,
right up here in first class.
76
00:03:23,671 --> 00:03:25,373
[Woman]: Are you sure?
77
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:27,808
[Attendant]:
Your upgrade went through.
78
00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:30,444
[Woman]: You're kidding.
That never happens.
79
00:03:30,478 --> 00:03:31,712
[Attendant]:
Must be your lucky day.
80
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:34,282
[Woman]: Thank you.
81
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,485
-Hi.
-Hello.
82
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:39,453
[Relieved sigh]
83
00:03:39,487 --> 00:03:41,455
First class.
84
00:03:41,489 --> 00:03:42,956
I feel so special.
85
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:44,958
They'll even bring you
a glass of champagne,
86
00:03:44,992 --> 00:03:46,727
if you want.
87
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,030
No. No.
I... I shouldn't.
88
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,932
Well, maybe just one.
89
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,834
But I have
lots of work to do,
90
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:55,336
so I won't--
don't worry,
91
00:03:55,369 --> 00:03:58,372
I won't be talking your
ear off the whole time.
92
00:03:58,406 --> 00:03:59,607
Do you live
in New York?
93
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,810
No, I'm heading home.
Portland.
94
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:05,713
I was just in the city
for a couple of job interviews.
95
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:07,315
Ah. I hope they went well.
96
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:08,582
We'll see.
97
00:04:08,616 --> 00:04:09,950
Everybody was really nice.
98
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:12,320
Maybe too nice.
99
00:04:12,353 --> 00:04:16,657
I... it's just so hard to know
what people are really thinking.
100
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:18,892
I wish they would just
say what they mean.
101
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,362
Things would be
so much easier that way.
102
00:04:21,395 --> 00:04:23,464
Not always.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
103
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:26,033
Hurts a lot less than lies.
104
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:27,935
Sounds like the voice
of experience talking.
105
00:04:27,968 --> 00:04:30,571
That obvious?
106
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:31,672
[Chuckles]
107
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:32,706
Champagne?
108
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,075
Two.
109
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,044
Definitely.
110
00:04:38,846 --> 00:04:40,381
To a great flight.
111
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:43,351
With lots of
fabulous legroom.

[***]
114
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,411
You seem very focused.
115
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:12,012
Is it good?
116
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:14,615
It wants to be.
117
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,384
If that makes any sense.
118
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:17,885
The new
Gabriel August?
119
00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:19,620
Thought that book
wasn't out.
120
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:21,489
Mm. I got
an advance copy.
121
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:23,691
You read
Gabriel August?
122
00:05:23,724 --> 00:05:25,359
[Laughs]
123
00:05:25,393 --> 00:05:27,695
No, but
I've heard of him.
124
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:29,930
Yeah, you don't...
You don't really seem
125
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:31,865
like his typical
demographic.
126
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,734
So you don't like this one?
127
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,736
No. I... I do.
128
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:38,506
It's just his first book,
129
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:40,007
first star of evening,
130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,675
was so good.
131
00:05:41,709 --> 00:05:43,043
Really?
132
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:46,614
I-- I think the first novel
was such a success
133
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:49,817
because it was just so honest.
134
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,586
You really felt like
you knew those characters.
135
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:54,522
Sounds like
i should give it a read.
136
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:55,923
Absolutely.
137
00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:59,092
Just... maybe skip this one.
138
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:00,594
It's a little
disappointing.
139
00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:01,795
It doesn't feel real.
140
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:03,163
It's like...
141
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,033
He took the first book
and stuck it in a blender
142
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,001
and mixed it up and
put a new title on it.
143
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:10,003
Oh! That's harsh.
144
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:11,038
I guess.
145
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:12,773
I just...
146
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:16,109
I hate to see such potential
go to waste.
147
00:06:16,143 --> 00:06:18,145
Have you heard about this?
148
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:19,547
He has this whole
marketing gimmick.
149
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:21,415
He's very mysterious.
150
00:06:21,449 --> 00:06:23,050
It's a little ridiculous.
151
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:24,084
You think it's a gimmick?
152
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:25,453
What else could it be?
153
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:26,754
I'm sure he has his reasons.
154
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:29,490
Whatever it is,
i guess it's working,
155
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:32,493
because along with
every other woman in America,
156
00:06:32,526 --> 00:06:37,064
I am actually curious
to find out who he really is.

Well...
162
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:49,443
This has ruined me.
163
00:06:49,477 --> 00:06:51,044
I don't think
i can go back to coach.
164
00:06:58,051 --> 00:07:00,153
I'm going to finish.

Hey there.

You look like
you're in a hurry.

Staff meeting at work.
I'm barely gonna make it.
170
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,109
Do you want me
to help you with your bag?
171
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,977
Looks like you're the one
that could use the help.

Oh...
173
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,848
Sorry. I gotta run.
174
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:29,583
It was really nice
meeting you.
175
00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:30,551

I'm happy
to give you a lift.
183
00:08:06,754 --> 00:08:08,522
My mom always told me
184
00:08:08,556 --> 00:08:10,123
never to accept
rides in limos
185
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,125

i met on airplanes.
186
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:14,662
Your mom gave you
very specific advice.
187
00:08:17,631 --> 00:08:21,034
Come on. It's got just
as much legroom as first class.
188
00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:22,603
We can even
split the tip,

you live in New York?

198
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,568
I like spending time
in Portland, though.
199
00:08:54,602 --> 00:08:56,904

Actually, I do.

Well, they were
just friends for years.

gonna split the tip.

Who is he?

you just met.

He was in first class.
How dangerous could he be?

gonna see him again?

Why do you think that?
339
00:15:53,353 --> 00:15:55,755
Because you sound
way too relaxed.
340
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,557
Maybe you should
shake things up a little,
341
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:58,558
go out with friends,

00:15:58,591 --> 00:16:01,194

in front of all those people.

it's gonna be hard

this Gabriel August mystique,
359
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:34,627

leading two lives like this.

you wrong before?

00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:42,302
Is that a trick question?
363
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:44,404
I'll call you
when I get out there,
364
00:16:44,437 --> 00:16:47,107
and you can show me
your town, Mr. Portland.
365
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:48,175
Is it a date?
366
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:49,709
Yeah. It's a date.
367
00:16:49,742 --> 00:16:51,478
-Bye.
-Bye.
368
00:17:01,288 --> 00:17:02,689
Well,
as you've probably guessed,
369
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:05,558
we got our new numbers back,
and they're not pretty.
370
00:17:05,592 --> 00:17:09,496
Circulation is down 23%
from the same time last year.
371
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:12,332
So, going forward,
i have it from on high
372
00:17:12,365 --> 00:17:14,367
that we need to spice things up.
373
00:17:14,401 --> 00:17:16,336
I need your pieces
to jump off the page.
374
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:17,670
Get noticed.
375
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:19,839
If you want to do
a feel-good fluff piece
376
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:21,208
on a pee-wee baseball team,
377
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:22,575
scrap it and find out
378
00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:24,511
when the trail blazers
are firing their coach.
379
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:27,747
They want us to make noise,
380
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:30,117
get retweeted or facebooked,
381
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:32,485
or whatever
the kids are doing these days.
382
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:34,854
Books, movies,
restaurant reviews--
383
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,589
nothing's just "okay" anymore.
384
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:39,126
They're either fantastic
385
00:17:39,159 --> 00:17:40,293
or the worst thing
you've ever seen.
386
00:17:40,327 --> 00:17:41,494
I'm talking extreme opinions.
387
00:17:41,528 --> 00:17:42,862
But you don't want us
388
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:45,132
to write reviews
we don't believe in, do you?
389
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:46,799
Well, if that's what it takes,
then yeah.
390
00:17:46,833 --> 00:17:48,868
It's how we generate
web hits and subscriptions.
391
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:52,372
Look, I don't love it,
but it's the hand we're dealt.
392
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:53,740
All right, I'll have
new assignments
393
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:55,442
for all of you in a few.
394
00:17:55,475 --> 00:17:56,576
Make me proud.
395
00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:02,582
Sophie.
396
00:18:02,615 --> 00:18:05,118
Got something for you
that might be interesting.
397
00:18:05,152 --> 00:18:07,854
After your little speech,
I'm almost afraid to ask.
398
00:18:07,887 --> 00:18:09,589
That review you're doing
399
00:18:09,622 --> 00:18:11,291
on Gabriel August's
new book?
400
00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:13,193
I'm not gonna turn it
into a hatchet piece
401
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:14,661
just to get more tweets.
402
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:16,196
I've got something
even better.
403
00:18:16,229 --> 00:18:18,631
I just found out that
Jasper's is hosting
404
00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:20,367
Gabriel August's
little coming-out party
405
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,368
tomorrow night,
406
00:18:21,401 --> 00:18:22,502
right here in Portland.
407
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:23,570
I want you to cover it.
408
00:18:23,603 --> 00:18:24,571
We'll run it with the review.
409
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:27,874
Wait. He's revealing
his true identity here?
410
00:18:27,907 --> 00:18:29,709
Why Portland?
411
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:31,844
It's your job to find out.
412
00:18:35,382 --> 00:18:37,817
[***]
413
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,829
[Hushed conversation]
414
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:53,666
Deep breaths.
This is a good thing.
415
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,734
Once this is over,
416
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:56,469
you can stop
leading two lives.
417
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:57,737
I'll never just
be Liam Bradley.
418
00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:58,905
All everyone
will care about
419
00:18:58,938 --> 00:19:00,307
is Gabriel August.
420
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:01,841
That's who I'll be from now on.
421
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:03,743
It's going to be okay.
I promise.
422
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:05,478
And it's gonna feel so good
423
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:07,280
to finally get this
off your chest.
424
00:19:07,314 --> 00:19:08,615
Okay, I think it's time.
425
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:10,750
We don't want to
keep them waiting.
426
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:12,519
I'm gonna go
and make the introduction.
427
00:19:12,552 --> 00:19:14,654
You wait here,
i point to you,
428
00:19:14,687 --> 00:19:16,389
and that's it...
429
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:17,824
And the world
meets Gabriel August
430
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:18,925
for the first time.
431
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:21,361
Okay. I'm as ready as I can be.
432
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:23,330
You're gonna be great.
They're gonna love you.
433
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:26,833
You should take
that seat in the front.
434
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,735
Got it.
435
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:37,510
[Jackie]:
If I can have your attention?
436
00:19:37,544 --> 00:19:38,911
I think you're all
about as excited
437
00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:40,313
to be here tonight
as I am.
438
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:42,315
With millions of books
439
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,551
sold worldwide
over the last three years,
440
00:19:44,584 --> 00:19:47,320
Gabriel August has touched
all our hearts.
441
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:50,223
He has made us fall in love,
and he has made us cry.
442
00:19:50,257 --> 00:19:52,559
It's my pleasure
to introduce to you
443
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:54,994
the man behind
these incredible stories.
444
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,397
Ladies and gentlemen...
445
00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:59,299
Please allow me to introduce
you all
446
00:19:59,332 --> 00:20:01,301
to the writer
you've come to know
447
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:03,936
as Gabriel August.
448
00:20:03,970 --> 00:20:06,506
[Applause]
449
00:20:15,582 --> 00:20:17,484
[Applause tapers off]
450
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:28,961
I had a feeling
i might find you here.
451
00:20:28,995 --> 00:20:31,564
This was always
your favorite spot to write.
452
00:20:31,598 --> 00:20:33,633
I can't fool you, can I?
453
00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:35,435
No.
454
00:20:35,468 --> 00:20:37,504
And you'd best remember that.
455
00:20:37,537 --> 00:20:39,806
Liam, what
were you thinking?
456
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,841
I was standing there
like an idiot,
457
00:20:41,874 --> 00:20:43,009
pointing at no one.
458
00:20:43,042 --> 00:20:44,311
I'm really sorry.
459
00:20:44,344 --> 00:20:45,978
I just... I panicked.
460
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:47,747
Your publisher
is furious.
461
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:48,748
They're threatening
462
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:50,650
to release your name and
information themselves.
463
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:51,651
Well, they can't
do that!
464
00:20:51,684 --> 00:20:53,953
Well, they won't, not yet.
465
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:56,456
I told them if they did,
we'd sue them,
466
00:20:56,489 --> 00:20:58,358
and we'd make
a big, ugly public spectacle.
467
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:02,429
You must not be
very popular over there.
468
00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:03,563
It's not my job
to be popular.
469
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,365
It's my job to look
after my clients,
470
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:07,033
even the ones
that make me crazy.
471
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:08,468
More bad news.
472
00:21:08,501 --> 00:21:09,536
Mm.
473
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:12,872
One of the first reviews
for by the lighthouse.
474
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:14,874
It's pretty
disappointing.
475
00:21:14,907 --> 00:21:18,411
"Tepid attempts
at conveying human emotion..."
476
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:24,050
-It's her!
-Who?
477
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:26,453
Sophie. The girl from
the plane and limo ride.
478
00:21:26,486 --> 00:21:28,054
That's why she was
at the bookstore!
479
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:29,489
To write about
Gabriel August.
480
00:21:29,522 --> 00:21:30,623
-This is incredible.
481
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:31,458
Incredible?
I'd hate to hear
482
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:32,992
what you think a bad
review looks like.
483
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:33,960
I gotta go!
We'll talk soon.
484
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:35,395
Liam!
485
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:36,329
I gotta find her.
486
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:41,233
Liam!
487
00:21:41,267 --> 00:21:44,637
We still have to talk about
rescheduling your reveal!
488
00:21:44,671 --> 00:21:46,373
I'll call you later!
489
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:48,908
Li-- [Frustrated sigh]
490
00:21:51,578 --> 00:21:53,880
[***]
491
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:57,417
Sorry.
492
00:21:57,450 --> 00:21:58,718
Liam?
493
00:21:58,751 --> 00:21:59,619
Sophie!
494
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:03,856
Sorry. That--
that was totally my fault.
495
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:04,991
No, no. It was all me.
496
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:07,093
They need to pass a "no texting
while walking" bill,
497
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:08,127
like New York.
498
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,829
They have those there?
499
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:12,799
Right.
500
00:22:12,832 --> 00:22:14,867
So where're you heading
in such a rush?
501
00:22:14,901 --> 00:22:17,604
Home.
I just got off work.
502
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:19,839
I write book reviews
for the Portland record.
503
00:22:19,872 --> 00:22:21,374
Really?
504
00:22:21,408 --> 00:22:22,442
That sounds interesting.
505
00:22:24,911 --> 00:22:28,147
Look, I realize we just met,
you know, again,
506
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:30,417
but maybe you'd like
to grab a bite to eat sometime?
507
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,519
I--
508
00:22:32,552 --> 00:22:34,454
that's really nice,
509
00:22:34,487 --> 00:22:36,122
but I have a lot
of work to do.
510
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:37,524
Aw, come on!
You eat, I eat.
511
00:22:37,557 --> 00:22:39,759
Let's eat
at the same table.
512
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:41,494
Persistent,
aren't you?
513
00:22:41,528 --> 00:22:42,729
Well, I'm usually not,
514
00:22:42,762 --> 00:22:45,565
but it seems like
this might be worth it.
515
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,500
One meal couldn't
hurt, right?
516
00:22:48,635 --> 00:22:49,802
I suppose not.
517
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:52,905
I think
I'll take that as a yes.
518
00:22:54,173 --> 00:22:56,409
[***]
519
00:23:08,855 --> 00:23:11,057
[***]
520
00:23:18,765 --> 00:23:20,867
[Quiet shock]: No way....
521
00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:30,810
So you just ran into
him on the street?
522
00:23:30,843 --> 00:23:32,545
That's, like, fate.
523
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:34,881
Okay, don't
get carried away.
524
00:23:36,683 --> 00:23:38,785
But here's
the interesting part.
525
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:40,653
His parents
526
00:23:40,687 --> 00:23:42,088
are Devon hillman
and Helen Bradley.
527
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:43,890
The movie stars?
You're kidding!
528
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:45,458
-No.
-Are you sure?
529
00:23:45,492 --> 00:23:47,994
I saw a picture
of him with them.
530
00:23:48,027 --> 00:23:50,930
Well, that's why he rides
in limos and flies first class.
531
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:52,832
His parents were celebrities.
532
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,702
He was just 19 when
they died in that plane crash.
533
00:23:55,735 --> 00:23:56,703
That was so sad.
534
00:23:56,736 --> 00:23:58,671
It was awful.
535
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:03,810
Do you think it's weird
that he didn't mention it?
536
00:24:03,843 --> 00:24:06,112
To hide something
so important?
537
00:24:06,145 --> 00:24:07,580
You hardly know him.
538
00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:08,447
Why would he tell you
539
00:24:08,481 --> 00:24:09,482
the most traumatic
story of his life
540
00:24:09,516 --> 00:24:11,484
when you guys haven't even
been on a date yet?
541
00:24:11,518 --> 00:24:12,952
[Groans] I know.
542
00:24:12,985 --> 00:24:14,120
You're right.
543
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:15,822
I mean, I'm just...
544
00:24:15,855 --> 00:24:17,957
You're being paranoid,
that's what.
545
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:21,093
Not all guys are hiding
things like James.
546
00:24:21,127 --> 00:24:22,461
You need to
give Liam a chance.
547
00:24:23,563 --> 00:24:24,697
Oh!
548
00:24:26,766 --> 00:24:29,669
Who's this Liam?
549
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:31,871
The guy that Sophie's
going on a date with.
550
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:35,007
It-- it's not a date,
it's just dinner.
551
00:24:35,041 --> 00:24:36,242
Why are you holding back?
552
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:38,511
You either like him,
or you don't.
553
00:24:38,545 --> 00:24:41,681
I-i do like him.
I just...
554
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,550
I wish I knew him better.
555
00:24:43,583 --> 00:24:45,284
Hello!
That's what a date's for.
556
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:47,019
To get to know somebody.
557
00:24:47,053 --> 00:24:49,021
I thought I knew James.
558
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:50,122
I never liked that one.
559
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:51,958
That's right.
560
00:24:51,991 --> 00:24:53,793
You didn't.
561
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,194
You guys knew
there was something wrong
562
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:56,262
before I did.
563
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,531
That's how I'll know--
I'll introduce him to you,
564
00:24:58,565 --> 00:25:00,600
and you can tell me
what you think.
565
00:25:00,633 --> 00:25:02,535
You want us
to crash your date?
566
00:25:02,569 --> 00:25:04,103
Brilliant, right?
567
00:25:04,136 --> 00:25:06,238
Yeah. Let me
check him out first.
568
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,141
Thank you.
569
00:25:09,175 --> 00:25:11,077
[Doorbell chimes]
570
00:25:17,216 --> 00:25:19,151
Just because you don't
answer the phone
571
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:20,920
doesn't mean
I'm gonna go away.
572
00:25:20,953 --> 00:25:23,890
I honestly was not
trying to avoid you.
573
00:25:23,923 --> 00:25:25,925
Okay, maybe I was, but not
for the reason you think.
574
00:25:25,958 --> 00:25:28,160
I was actually writing today.
575
00:25:28,194 --> 00:25:29,562
That's great.
576
00:25:29,596 --> 00:25:32,231
Well,
it wasn't great,
577
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:35,067
but it was
something, anyway.
578
00:25:35,101 --> 00:25:39,171
The words,
they are coming.
579
00:25:39,205 --> 00:25:41,574
I don't like them
once they're on the page.
580
00:25:41,608 --> 00:25:42,909
So kind of less of
a writer's block issue,
581
00:25:42,942 --> 00:25:45,244
and more of
a heart-not-being-in-it issue?
582
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:47,313
And don't you look dapper?
583
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:48,881
Yeah.
584
00:25:48,915 --> 00:25:50,917
I found her. Sophie.
585
00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:53,119
We're going to dinner.
586
00:25:53,152 --> 00:25:55,187
You really like this girl,
don't you?
587
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:57,156
I haven't seen you
like this in ages.
588
00:25:57,189 --> 00:25:58,658
Oh...
589
00:25:58,691 --> 00:26:00,593
You know, I felt something
when I met her.
590
00:26:00,627 --> 00:26:02,161
Something strange.
591
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:03,362
She's not like other women.
592
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:06,265
She's interesting
and...
593
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:07,767
And unique.
594
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,235
And she tells it
like it is, right?
595
00:26:09,268 --> 00:26:10,870
How did you know that?
596
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:13,205
I know you pretty well
after all these years, honey.
597
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:16,743
I feel nervous around her,
but it's a good nervous.
598
00:26:16,776 --> 00:26:18,210
Yeah, I'd be
a bit nervous, too,
599
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:20,680
if I was going out with somebody
who hated my book so much.
600
00:26:24,383 --> 00:26:25,885
She doesn't know?
601
00:26:25,918 --> 00:26:29,255
Ah. It really
hasn't come up yet.
602
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:31,290
I'm going to let you get
ready for your date, Liam,
603
00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:33,893
but please be careful.
604
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:35,995
I worry enough
about your ability
605
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,830
to lead
one double life.
606
00:26:37,864 --> 00:26:40,132
I don't think you have
the heart for a second.
607
00:26:44,136 --> 00:26:46,338

[Doorbell chimes]
609
00:27:00,186 --> 00:27:01,353
Hi.
610
00:27:01,387 --> 00:27:03,422
Hi. These are for you.
611
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:07,026
Thank you.
They're beautiful.
612
00:27:07,059 --> 00:27:08,995
Come on in.
613
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:15,935
Hi!
614
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,236
Um, hello.
615
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:19,238
Uh, it was
the strangest thing.
616
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,373
I was getting ready, and--
617
00:27:21,407 --> 00:27:23,710
drew and i
were in the neighborhood
618
00:27:23,743 --> 00:27:26,112
and wanted to return a book
to Sophie.
619
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:28,147
This one.
620
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:29,348
[Chuckles]
621
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,217
Where are my manners?
622
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:33,686
Um, drew and Nina,
this is Liam.
623
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,688
No limo tonight?
624
00:27:35,722 --> 00:27:37,423
Uh, I have a car here
in town.
625
00:27:37,456 --> 00:27:40,693
So you have a place here
and a place in New York?
626
00:27:40,727 --> 00:27:42,762
You don't really
see that very often.
627
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:45,431
Exactly what kind of
consulting do you do?
628
00:27:45,464 --> 00:27:46,699
Drew, you don't need
629
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:47,734
to interrogate
poor Liam here.
630
00:27:47,767 --> 00:27:48,434
(Sotto)
I thought that's what
631
00:27:48,467 --> 00:27:49,468
I was supposed to do?
632
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,271
How about
a glass of wine?
633
00:27:52,304 --> 00:27:54,206
Wine sounds wonderful!
634
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,708
And it gives us
the opportunity
635
00:27:55,742 --> 00:27:56,976
to get to know
a little bit more
636
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:58,277
about Liam here.
637
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,679
Great!
638
00:28:02,181 --> 00:28:03,916
So how long were
you in guayana?
639
00:28:03,950 --> 00:28:06,018
I did the full
two-year volunteer rotation.
640
00:28:06,052 --> 00:28:08,054
It's really
an amazing country.
641
00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:09,455
That must've been
tough, though.
642
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:11,490
Volunteering was
the hardest thing I ever did,
643
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:12,959
but I wouldn't trade it
for anything.
644
00:28:12,992 --> 00:28:14,093
Wow.
645
00:28:14,126 --> 00:28:17,063
You're full of surprises.
646
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:21,500
Well, this has
been fun.
647
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:24,303
We should all go out
when we have more time.
648
00:28:24,336 --> 00:28:25,905
Absolutely. And drew,
I'm going to hold you
649
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,173
to your offer
to play hoops.
650
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:29,041
I'm no LeBron James,
but maybe a Dwayne Wade.
651
00:28:29,075 --> 00:28:30,242
All right,
but I will warn you--
652
00:28:30,276 --> 00:28:31,310
once I lace up,
653
00:28:31,343 --> 00:28:33,913
I'm more like 6'6" with
a 40-inch vertical, so.
654
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:35,014
[Laughs]
655
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,415
Have fun
tonight, kids.
656
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,117
Bye!
657
00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:40,920
And thanks for, um,
bringing the book back.
658
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:46,993
I think they liked you.
659
00:28:47,026 --> 00:28:47,994
Well, that's great,
660
00:28:48,027 --> 00:28:50,162
but they're not the ones
I'm trying to impress.
661
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:54,300
I like you too.
662
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:56,102
Now, that's what
i like to hear.
663
00:28:56,135 --> 00:28:57,136
[Laughs]
664
00:28:57,169 --> 00:28:58,337
You ready for dinner?
665
00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:00,272
I have the perfect place.
666
00:29:00,306 --> 00:29:02,775
I was surprised.
667
00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:04,844
Nina and drew and i
have been friends forever.
668
00:29:04,877 --> 00:29:07,446
So what made them
start to date?
669
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:08,948
Actually, I think
670
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:10,282
they'd been in love
for years,
671
00:29:10,316 --> 00:29:12,084
but they were both
just so afraid
672
00:29:12,118 --> 00:29:13,385
of ruining
the friendship
673
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:15,121
that they never
gave it a chance.
674
00:29:15,154 --> 00:29:17,056
How's the cobbler?
675
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:18,424
Mm! Wonderful, Harris.
676
00:29:18,457 --> 00:29:19,826
As always.
677
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:22,194
Everything is delicious.
678
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:23,329
You mean that,
679
00:29:23,362 --> 00:29:26,365
or are you just saying
what you think I want to hear?
680
00:29:26,398 --> 00:29:28,400
No, it was really good.
681
00:29:28,434 --> 00:29:30,169
[Phone rings]
682
00:29:30,202 --> 00:29:32,038
Oh. Sorry.
683
00:29:32,071 --> 00:29:34,140
I've got to
take this. Work.
684
00:29:35,574 --> 00:29:37,844
[***]
685
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:47,586
So, Liam...
686
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,021
You ever been married?
687
00:29:49,055 --> 00:29:50,556
Um, no.
688
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:52,992
Why not?
Something wrong with you?
689
00:29:53,025 --> 00:29:55,294
[Chuckles, then stops]
690
00:29:57,196 --> 00:30:00,833
So no alarm bells
went off for either of you?
691
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:02,234
We loved him.
692
00:30:02,268 --> 00:30:03,369
Even drew,
693
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:06,205
who was prepared to Duke it out
with him beforehand.
694
00:30:06,238 --> 00:30:07,539
How's dinner going?
695
00:30:07,573 --> 00:30:09,541
We're having a nice time.
696
00:30:09,575 --> 00:30:12,011
But he still hasn't
mentioned his parents,
697
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:13,512
and he keeps
changing the subject
698
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:15,314
every time
i bring up his work.
699
00:30:15,347 --> 00:30:16,615
Give him time.
700
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,951
How's it going with Harris?
701
00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:24,891
It doesn't look good.
702
00:30:24,924 --> 00:30:26,625
Maybe I shouldn't
have left him alone.
703
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:30,329
Well, let me know how it goes,
'cause he seems really great.
704
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,131
Bye.
705
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,536
That's her recipe
for peach cobbler
706
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:39,171
you're eating.
707
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:40,272
It's the best
I've ever tasted.
708
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:41,340
Honestly.
709
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,109
Am I interrupting?
710
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:44,376
Not at all!
711
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:46,979
Come. Sit.
712
00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:49,381
I was just
telling Liam here
713
00:30:49,415 --> 00:30:50,983
the story of Lola
714
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,052
and why I named the restaurant
after her.
715
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:55,487
I thought you didn't like
to talk about that.
716
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:57,957
Well, the story's
not for everyone,
717
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:59,358
but Liam here
718
00:30:59,391 --> 00:31:01,027
seemed to understand.
719
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,562
I'm sorry
you lost her so soon.
720
00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:06,165
Well, it's better
to have loved and lost
721
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:07,633
and all that, right?
722
00:31:07,666 --> 00:31:11,203
I like to think
she's here with me every day.
723
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:15,341
Nice to meet you, Liam.
724
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:16,375
You too.
725
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,212
The next time,
726
00:31:20,246 --> 00:31:22,381
you've got to try
the chocolate mousse.
727
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:23,649
It's not to be missed.
728
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:26,052
Can't wait.
729
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,390
What?
730
00:31:31,423 --> 00:31:33,125
Wow.
731
00:31:33,159 --> 00:31:36,262
He must really like you
to open up about Lola.
732
00:31:36,295 --> 00:31:37,496
Is that a good thing?
733
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,565
Yes.
734
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:41,600
It's...A great thing.
735
00:31:46,105 --> 00:31:48,140
[Creek trickling]
736
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,581
Harris actually
liked him?
737
00:31:55,614 --> 00:31:57,116
Loved him.
738
00:31:57,149 --> 00:31:59,351
Sounds like he passed
your little test, right?
739
00:31:59,385 --> 00:32:00,486
With flying colors.
740
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,554
But he still won't
talk about his work.
741
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,256
Or his family.
742
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:06,225
It's like
he's an open book
743
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:07,559
about some things,
744
00:32:07,593 --> 00:32:10,429
and then completely
mysterious about others.
745
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:12,498
It sounds like
problem isn't him,
746
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:14,133
it's you.
747
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:17,003
What are you
talking about?
748
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:18,370
I get that you have
trust issues.
749
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:19,438
Who wouldn't
in your position?
750
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:20,639
But you need
to be careful
751
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:22,441
not to project
your stuff onto Liam.
752
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:23,442
It's not fair.
753
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:27,113
Okay, well, what about
just-- just one more test?
754
00:32:27,146 --> 00:32:28,380
I felt so much better
755
00:32:28,414 --> 00:32:30,216
after he met
you guys last night
756
00:32:30,249 --> 00:32:31,683
and you liked him.
757
00:32:31,717 --> 00:32:32,985
Sophie.
758
00:32:33,019 --> 00:32:35,287
Okay, just hear me out.
759
00:32:35,321 --> 00:32:36,755
I want to see him at work,
760
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:39,125
just find out what
this whole consulting thing
761
00:32:39,158 --> 00:32:40,426
is all about.
762
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:42,028
I mean,
what could it hurt?
763
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:45,364
Come on!
764
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:49,135

[Phone rings]
766
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,745
Can't talk now.
Finally in the zone.
767
00:32:59,778 --> 00:33:01,513
Thrilled to hear it,
but we still need to meet
768
00:33:01,547 --> 00:33:03,482
to go over the details
of the rescheduled reveal.
769
00:33:03,515 --> 00:33:04,783
Today's not good.
770
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:06,218
So, today at 1:00,
771
00:33:06,252 --> 00:33:07,353
at the river village restaurant,
772
00:33:07,386 --> 00:33:08,754
I've booked
a lovely outdoor table.
773
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:10,189
You can walk over
from the Marina.
774
00:33:10,222 --> 00:33:11,257
Can't we do this
later this week?
775
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,624
See you at one.
776
00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:13,759

[Phone ringing]
779
00:33:30,409 --> 00:33:32,578
Hey!
I was going to call you,
780
00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:34,613
but didn't want to
bother you at work.
781
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:36,315
I was worried about
the same thing.
782
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,050
I'm not interrupting,
am I?
783
00:33:38,084 --> 00:33:40,552
Not at all.
Really enjoyed last night.
784
00:33:40,586 --> 00:33:41,587
Me too. I--
785
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:42,554
[ship's bell clangs]
786
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:43,622
What was that?
787
00:33:43,655 --> 00:33:45,124
Are you--
are you at the Marina?
788
00:33:45,157 --> 00:33:47,093
Uh, yeah.
789
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:49,661
I'm, uh, meeting a client at
river village restaurant at one,
790
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:50,696
a business meeting.
791
00:33:50,729 --> 00:33:51,797
A client?
792
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,565
Um, that's good.
793
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:55,101
Maybe we can figure out
794
00:33:55,134 --> 00:33:56,335
a time to see
each other again.
795
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:58,270
Yeah. I'd like that.
796
00:33:59,505 --> 00:34:01,607
Um, I've got to go.
797
00:34:02,808 --> 00:34:03,809
Bye.
798
00:34:03,842 --> 00:34:05,811
Bye.
799
00:34:05,844 --> 00:34:08,680
[***]
800
00:34:10,582 --> 00:34:12,084
So I've rescheduled
the reveal
801
00:34:12,118 --> 00:34:13,585
for Friday at six,
802
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:16,088
and I will handcuff you
to me if I have to.
803
00:34:16,122 --> 00:34:17,289
It's such
terrible timing.
804
00:34:17,323 --> 00:34:18,657
Sophie and i
are just starting
805
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:19,758
to get to know
each other.
806
00:34:19,791 --> 00:34:21,160
You haven't told her,
have you?
807
00:34:21,193 --> 00:34:22,128
Once she finds out
808
00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:23,829
I'm Gabriel August,
that's all I'll be to her.
809
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:24,830
That's all I'll be
to everybody.
810
00:34:24,863 --> 00:34:25,964
[Jackie]:
How can you know that,
811
00:34:25,997 --> 00:34:28,267
if you don't trust her enough
to tell her the truth?
812
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:30,336
Well, you know how
it was with my parents.
813
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:33,239
People treated them differently
because they were stars.
814
00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:35,174
Hi.
815
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:37,443
Oh, no.
This is not happening.
816
00:34:37,476 --> 00:34:38,577
It's her.
817
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:39,611
She's pretty!
818
00:34:39,645 --> 00:34:41,380
Hey.
819
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,582
Sophie.
This is a surprise.
820
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:45,551
I-i was, um...
821
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:48,120
Covering a story
just around the corner,
822
00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:50,889
and remembered you saying
you were having lunch here, so--
823
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:52,591
so you just stopped by?
824
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,794
That's weird, isn't it?
825
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,496
It was all very spontaneous.
826
00:34:57,529 --> 00:34:59,131
Um...
827
00:34:59,165 --> 00:35:00,599
I'll leave you to your lunch.
828
00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:03,702
-You're Jackie billicks.
-Yes.
829
00:35:03,735 --> 00:35:04,903
The literary agent.
830
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:07,139
Oh, um, I have to say,
831
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:09,541
I'm not used to being recognized
outside of New York.
832
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:12,478
I saw you speak in 2011
833
00:35:12,511 --> 00:35:14,480
at the Brooklyn
publishing symposium.
834
00:35:14,513 --> 00:35:16,515
You were so inspiring.
835
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:17,583
Jackie,
836
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:19,618
this is
Sophie Atkinson.
837
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:21,553
It's wonderful
to meet you, Sophie.
838
00:35:21,587 --> 00:35:24,590
I actually write book reviews
for the Portland record,
839
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:27,493
and I probably owe you
and Gabriel August
840
00:35:27,526 --> 00:35:28,894
a bit of an apology.
841
00:35:28,927 --> 00:35:30,296
My review
wasn't very favorable.
842
00:35:30,329 --> 00:35:31,663
No apology needed.
843
00:35:31,697 --> 00:35:33,499
You were
just doing your job.
844
00:35:33,532 --> 00:35:36,368
I can't believe
you didn't tell me
845
00:35:36,402 --> 00:35:37,836
you knew Gabriel
August's agent.
846
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:39,871
Well, it's great to meet you.
847
00:35:39,905 --> 00:35:41,207
I'll let you two talk.
848
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,908
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
849
00:35:42,941 --> 00:35:45,577
This is just
a social call anyway.
850
00:35:45,611 --> 00:35:47,713
Please join us. Please.
851
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:49,548
Oh...
852
00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:51,583
Thank you.
853
00:35:57,923 --> 00:36:00,526
I keep telling Gabriel
that he'll feel better
854
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:03,195
if he tells the world
who he is,
855
00:36:03,229 --> 00:36:04,730
but men, you know?
856
00:36:04,763 --> 00:36:06,532
So stubborn.
857
00:36:06,565 --> 00:36:08,434
But-- but it is
really happening?
858
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,669
Oh, yeah. Next Friday.
859
00:36:10,702 --> 00:36:12,704
If I have to drag him
kicking and screaming.
860
00:36:12,738 --> 00:36:14,573
[Sophie laughs]
861
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:16,308
Okay.
862
00:36:16,342 --> 00:36:18,310
At the risk of
sounding like a teenager,
863
00:36:18,344 --> 00:36:19,811
what is he like?
864
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:21,547
[Laughs]
865
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:24,216
Well, he's, uh, smart.
866
00:36:24,250 --> 00:36:25,651
Quite smart,
when he wants to be.
867
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,254
He is genuinely talented,
868
00:36:28,287 --> 00:36:29,588
he's very handsome.
869
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:34,593
He's also obstinate,
he's private to a fault,
870
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:35,794
and sometimes he exhibits
871
00:36:35,827 --> 00:36:37,729
the same amount of
judgment as my beagle.
872
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:38,897
[Both laughing]
873
00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:42,268
I felt bad,
874
00:36:42,301 --> 00:36:43,702
writing
the review I did,
875
00:36:43,735 --> 00:36:46,805
but the truth is,
876
00:36:46,838 --> 00:36:50,742
I really want his next book
to be great, like the first one,
877
00:36:50,776 --> 00:36:52,944
and maybe not having secrets
will help.
878
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:55,381
Maybe his next book
will be his masterpiece.
879
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:56,882
I hope so, Sophie.
880
00:36:56,915 --> 00:37:00,719
Well, I've got a deadline
that needs some love.
881
00:37:00,752 --> 00:37:02,988
Jackie, I'm so glad
we got the chance to talk.
882
00:37:03,021 --> 00:37:03,822
Same here!
883
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:04,690
And next time
you're in New York,
884
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,925
give me a jingle,
we'll have lunch.
885
00:37:06,958 --> 00:37:08,727
I would love that.
886
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,529
I will see you later?
887
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:11,963
I can't wait.
I'll call you.
888
00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:13,565
Napkin...
889
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:14,566
[Chuckling]
890
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,835
Wow...
891
00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:18,604
Thanks for that, Jackie.
892
00:37:18,637 --> 00:37:20,639
You need to tell her,
893
00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:22,007
before this--
894
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,676
whatever
this is between you two--
895
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:25,877
goes any further.
896
00:37:25,911 --> 00:37:27,579
Well, it's easier said
than done.
897
00:37:27,613 --> 00:37:29,381
I never said
it was gonna be easy.
898
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:37,589
It's so beautiful
down here.
899
00:37:37,623 --> 00:37:39,057
I never think
to do this.
900

00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,970
There's this old wooden bridge
surrounded by trees.
1080
00:45:39,004 --> 00:45:39,905
When I get stressed,
1081
00:45:39,938 --> 00:45:42,874
I just stand there
and listen to the water,
1082
00:45:42,908 --> 00:45:45,343
and all the troubles
melt away.
1083
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:47,979
It's a magical place.
1084
00:45:48,013 --> 00:45:49,948
It sounds wonderful.
1085
00:45:49,981 --> 00:45:51,382
Everybody needs
some place to escape to.
1086
00:45:51,416 --> 00:45:53,118
Exactly.
1087
00:45:53,151 --> 00:45:55,353
That's what it's like
for me out here.
1088
00:45:55,386 --> 00:45:57,789
Dinner awaits.
1089
00:45:57,823 --> 00:46:01,292
It's beautiful!
1090
00:46:01,326 --> 00:46:04,062
I didn't realize
you were such a romantic.
1091
00:46:04,095 --> 00:46:06,231
Ah, I didn't either.
1092
00:46:09,167 --> 00:46:10,501
This is delicious.
1093
00:46:10,535 --> 00:46:12,838
Mm. I can't cook
to save my life,
1094
00:46:12,871 --> 00:46:14,873
but I am fantastic
at ordering well.
1095
00:46:17,508 --> 00:46:19,811
Uh, look, there's
something important
1096
00:46:19,845 --> 00:46:21,012
I need to tell you,
1097
00:46:21,046 --> 00:46:23,581
but I'm not really
sure how to say it.
1098
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:25,884
More couscous?
1099
00:46:25,917 --> 00:46:27,485
I'm fine.
1100
00:46:27,518 --> 00:46:29,020
Right.
Uh, all right, uh...
1101
00:46:29,054 --> 00:46:30,555
The thing is,
1102
00:46:30,588 --> 00:46:31,990
when we first met,
1103
00:46:32,023 --> 00:46:33,925
I didn't think things
would progress so far.
1104
00:46:33,959 --> 00:46:35,326
Liam, wait.
1105
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,561
Before
you say anything,
1106
00:46:36,594 --> 00:46:39,330
I... I have to
tell you something.
1107
00:46:39,364 --> 00:46:40,866
I...
1108
00:46:40,899 --> 00:46:43,501
Haven't been totally
honest with you.
1109
00:46:43,534 --> 00:46:44,502
You haven't?
1110
00:46:44,535 --> 00:46:46,437
Remember how I told you
1111
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:48,506
I recently went
through a bad break-up?
1112
00:46:48,539 --> 00:46:49,941
You're getting back
together with him.
1113
00:46:49,975 --> 00:46:50,842
What?
1114
00:46:50,876 --> 00:46:51,910
No!
1115
00:46:51,943 --> 00:46:53,178
Absolutely not.
1116
00:46:53,211 --> 00:46:56,614
Never. I just...
1117
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,884
The whole thing
actually hit me
1118
00:46:58,917 --> 00:47:02,287
a lot harder
than I admitted.
1119
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,455
He was a professional athlete,
1120
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:06,958
and the break-up
was very public,
1121
00:47:06,992 --> 00:47:08,927
and...
1122
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,263
Pretty humiliating,
honestly.
1123
00:47:12,297 --> 00:47:14,065
My terrible love life
went viral.
1124
00:47:14,099 --> 00:47:15,533
That must've been awful.
1125
00:47:15,566 --> 00:47:16,601
Yeah.
1126
00:47:16,634 --> 00:47:17,869
A word of advice--
1127
00:47:17,903 --> 00:47:19,237
never date
a famous person.
1128
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:22,473
I won't make
that mistake again.
1129
00:47:24,075 --> 00:47:28,146
The worst part,
though, was that...
1130
00:47:28,179 --> 00:47:32,150
This man that
i thought I loved
1131
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:35,220
ended up being someone
completely different
1132
00:47:35,253 --> 00:47:37,522
than I thought he was.
1133
00:47:37,555 --> 00:47:41,059
I guess I just lost
my ability to trust men.
1134
00:47:42,327 --> 00:47:45,296
And so when I met you,
1135
00:47:45,330 --> 00:47:46,998
I was like,
1136
00:47:47,032 --> 00:47:50,335
"wow, too good
to be true."
1137
00:47:50,368 --> 00:47:52,370
And so I've kind of been
giving you little tests
1138
00:47:52,403 --> 00:47:53,939
just to prove
1139
00:47:53,972 --> 00:47:56,975
that you aren't...
Too good to be true.
1140
00:47:57,008 --> 00:47:58,109
Tests?
1141
00:47:58,143 --> 00:47:59,277
Yeah.
1142
00:47:59,310 --> 00:48:01,379
This is embarrassing.
1143
00:48:01,412 --> 00:48:04,983
I... my friends
interrogating you.
1144
00:48:05,016 --> 00:48:06,517
Me dropping by
during your lunch
1145
00:48:06,551 --> 00:48:07,986
with your client.
1146
00:48:08,019 --> 00:48:09,587
I kind of arranged
those things
1147
00:48:09,620 --> 00:48:11,689
just to help myself
make sure
1148
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:14,692
that this was real.
1149
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,694
Oh! And the girl
you met
1150
00:48:16,727 --> 00:48:18,629
in front of
my office, Tabitha,
1151
00:48:18,663 --> 00:48:20,331
we actually
work together,
1152
00:48:20,365 --> 00:48:23,101
and I overheard her
asking you out.
1153
00:48:24,469 --> 00:48:27,005
You're the only woman
i wanted to go out with.
1154
00:48:27,038 --> 00:48:28,339
I know that now.
1155
00:48:28,373 --> 00:48:30,308
And I should've
1156
00:48:30,341 --> 00:48:32,177
trusted it
from the beginning.
1157
00:48:32,210 --> 00:48:33,511
I'm so sorry, Liam.
1158
00:48:33,544 --> 00:48:35,013
I don't know
what else to say.
1159
00:48:35,046 --> 00:48:37,248
So that's it?
1160
00:48:37,282 --> 00:48:39,084
That's what you haven't
been honest about?
1161
00:48:39,117 --> 00:48:40,118
You hate me,
don't you?
1162
00:48:40,151 --> 00:48:42,487
Sophie,
i don't hate you.
1163
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,189
I'm falling in love
with you.
1164
00:48:55,433 --> 00:48:59,304
Okay.
1165
00:48:59,337 --> 00:49:01,306
That went better
than I thought it would.
1166
00:49:02,473 --> 00:49:04,475
[***]
1167
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:18,456
I feel so much better
having that out in the open.
1168
00:49:18,489 --> 00:49:24,462
I've been so nervous all night.
1169
00:49:24,495 --> 00:49:26,231
There was something
you wanted to say to me.
1170
00:49:26,264 --> 00:49:28,133
What? Oh. Oh, nothing.
1171
00:49:28,166 --> 00:49:29,234
Are you sure?
1172
00:49:29,267 --> 00:49:30,501
I'm so sorry.
1173
00:49:30,535 --> 00:49:32,270
I feel like I kind of
hijacked your moment.
1174
00:49:32,303 --> 00:49:34,005
Ah, it's not important.
1175
00:49:34,039 --> 00:49:35,506
More wine?
1176
00:49:36,774 --> 00:49:38,143
Please.
1177
00:49:40,778 --> 00:49:43,214
I can't wait to see
what's for dessert.
1178
00:49:53,291 --> 00:49:55,093
What was i
supposed to do?
1179
00:49:55,126 --> 00:49:57,062
You were supposed to
tell her the truth.
1180
00:49:57,095 --> 00:49:58,229
Well, this athlete
she was engaged to
1181
00:49:58,263 --> 00:49:59,130
broke her heart,
1182
00:49:59,164 --> 00:50:00,231
and half the country
was talking about it.
1183
00:50:00,265 --> 00:50:02,267
She swore she'd never
date a famous person again.
1184
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:03,368
What do you think
1185
00:50:03,401 --> 00:50:05,370
she's gonna do when
she finds out who I really am?
1186
00:50:05,403 --> 00:50:07,172
I can't just dump
all this on her.
1187
00:50:07,205 --> 00:50:08,573
You've run out of time.
1188
00:50:08,606 --> 00:50:10,041
The reveal is tomorrow night.
1189
00:50:10,075 --> 00:50:11,242
Well, then,
let's postpone it.
1190
00:50:11,276 --> 00:50:12,377
We can't.
1191
00:50:12,410 --> 00:50:14,045
Get me a meeting
with the publishers.
1192
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:16,114
I'll find a way
to change their minds.
1193
00:50:16,147 --> 00:50:18,083
It won't be easy
to convince them, Liam.
1194
00:50:18,116 --> 00:50:20,118
Well, I'll find a way
to convince them.
1195
00:50:20,151 --> 00:50:21,786
I have to.
1196
00:50:23,121 --> 00:50:24,589
They can't do that.
1197
00:50:24,622 --> 00:50:26,124
Unfortunately,
the suits call the shots,
1198
00:50:26,157 --> 00:50:28,226
and they can do
whatever they want.
1199
00:50:28,259 --> 00:50:29,427
But just to cut
all the book reviews?
1200
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:31,762
That-- that doesn't
even make any sense!
1201
00:50:31,796 --> 00:50:33,731
They want more space
for video games and movies.
1202
00:50:33,764 --> 00:50:35,233
They're even making me create
a whole new section
1203
00:50:35,266 --> 00:50:36,401
on celebrity gossip.
1204
00:50:36,434 --> 00:50:39,570
Book reviews just don't
have enough juice these days.
1205
00:50:39,604 --> 00:50:41,772
Look, I've been
a team player, Phil,
1206
00:50:41,806 --> 00:50:43,408
covering music and movies,
1207
00:50:43,441 --> 00:50:45,276
whatever you needed,
1208
00:50:45,310 --> 00:50:47,512
but you know the book reviews
are what I love.
1209
00:50:47,545 --> 00:50:49,780
That's the reason
i came to the daily.
1210
00:50:49,814 --> 00:50:52,350
What can I tell you, Sophie?
It's a business.
1211
00:50:52,383 --> 00:50:55,120
Lots of people read books!
1212
00:50:55,153 --> 00:50:56,787
I mean, sure,
it's a changing industry, but--
1213
00:50:56,821 --> 00:50:58,656
no more book reviews.
1214
00:50:58,689 --> 00:51:00,625
I wish
it was different.
1215
00:51:09,567 --> 00:51:12,303
Then I don't know
if I can stay.
1216
00:51:16,341 --> 00:51:18,643
I need to figure out
what it is I want to do.
1217
00:51:22,647 --> 00:51:26,284
Well, that's a decision
you're gonna have to make.
1218
00:51:26,317 --> 00:51:28,586
But make it quickly.
I got a paper to run.
1219
00:51:28,619 --> 00:51:31,656
[***]
1220
00:51:37,162 --> 00:51:39,130
[Sophie]: So you don't think
it's a stupid thing to do?
1221
00:51:39,164 --> 00:51:40,465
Not at all,
but it's a big step.
1222
00:51:40,498 --> 00:51:42,433
I'm terrified.
1223
00:51:43,734 --> 00:51:45,703
But I think it's what I want.
1224
00:51:45,736 --> 00:51:47,338
You were right,
that's what's important.
1225
00:51:47,372 --> 00:51:49,174
Well, it sounds
like a good plan.
1226
00:51:49,207 --> 00:51:50,441
I'm gonna
go with my gut.
1227
00:51:50,475 --> 00:51:52,643
I guess it worked
with you yesterday.
1228
00:51:52,677 --> 00:51:54,245
That's right.
1229
00:51:54,279 --> 00:51:55,413
Look, i-i found out
1230
00:51:55,446 --> 00:51:57,848
that I have to go to New York
for a meeting tomorrow,
1231
00:51:57,882 --> 00:51:59,850
so I'm a little frazzled.
I fly out in a couple of hours.
1232
00:51:59,884 --> 00:52:01,519
Wait. New York? Why?
1233
00:52:01,552 --> 00:52:03,621
Just a contractual thing
i need to address,
1234
00:52:03,654 --> 00:52:05,190
but I have to do it
in person.
1235
00:52:05,223 --> 00:52:06,424
How long will you be gone?
1236
00:52:06,457 --> 00:52:07,692
Just overnight.
I'll be back tomorrow.
1237
00:52:07,725 --> 00:52:10,261
Well, do you think
1238
00:52:10,295 --> 00:52:12,430
you might be up for a date night
tomorrow night?
1239
00:52:12,463 --> 00:52:14,632
How about an early dinner?
Say, 5:30?
1240
00:52:14,665 --> 00:52:17,735
Sure. I'm down
for the early bird special.
1241
00:52:17,768 --> 00:52:19,604
Have a safe flight.
1242
00:52:19,637 --> 00:52:22,673
Okay. Bye.
1243
00:52:22,707 --> 00:52:24,675
Bye.
1244
00:52:26,611 --> 00:52:28,313
That sounds
so romantic.
1245
00:52:28,346 --> 00:52:30,448
Dinner
by candlelight?
1246
00:52:30,481 --> 00:52:32,550
Yeah. It...It was.
1247
00:52:32,583 --> 00:52:35,486
He told me he was
falling in love with me,
1248
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,422
and then we kissed.
1249
00:52:37,455 --> 00:52:39,924
Wow!
1250
00:52:39,957 --> 00:52:42,893
And you want to know
the best part?
1251
00:52:42,927 --> 00:52:44,762
I trust him.
1252
00:52:44,795 --> 00:52:45,896
Oh yeah?
1253
00:52:45,930 --> 00:52:48,899
Not a "he passed
the test" kind of trust,
1254
00:52:48,933 --> 00:52:50,735
a trust where
i want to kick myself
1255
00:52:50,768 --> 00:52:52,903
for having ever given him
a test in the first place.
1256
00:52:52,937 --> 00:52:55,473
I never thought
i would
1257
00:52:55,506 --> 00:52:57,475
feel like this
about someone again,
1258
00:52:57,508 --> 00:53:00,311
but he just
keeps surprising me.
1259
00:53:00,345 --> 00:53:01,846
This is so great.
1260
00:53:01,879 --> 00:53:03,814
I'm so happy for you.
1261
00:53:03,848 --> 00:53:06,651
He's on a trip
to New York for one day,
1262
00:53:06,684 --> 00:53:08,453
and I already miss him.
1263
00:53:08,486 --> 00:53:10,755
What am I in, high school?
1264
00:53:10,788 --> 00:53:12,990
You are in love.
1265
00:53:13,023 --> 00:53:14,692
Oh.
1266
00:53:14,725 --> 00:53:17,762
Okay, enough
about my love life.
1267
00:53:17,795 --> 00:53:21,332
I have something
i want to show you.
1268
00:53:21,366 --> 00:53:22,833
I put it together
last night,
1269
00:53:22,867 --> 00:53:25,903
and you have to promise me
that you will be nice.
1270
00:53:25,936 --> 00:53:27,938
"Rivetingreads.Com."
1271
00:53:27,972 --> 00:53:29,340
What is it?
1272
00:53:29,374 --> 00:53:31,242
My new business.
1273
00:53:31,276 --> 00:53:32,577
Your new business?
1274
00:53:32,610 --> 00:53:34,445
What about the paper?
1275
00:53:34,479 --> 00:53:37,782
Well, Liam said something
to me the other day
1276
00:53:37,815 --> 00:53:40,818
about following
my dreams
1277
00:53:40,851 --> 00:53:42,287
and doing what
i want to do,
1278
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,854
and I think this might be it.
1279
00:53:43,888 --> 00:53:46,857
This is so fantastic.
1280
00:53:46,891 --> 00:53:48,626
I have a meeting
with my editor later,
1281
00:53:48,659 --> 00:53:49,694
and then it goes live.
1282
00:53:49,727 --> 00:53:51,896
Looks like
Liam's good for you.
1283
00:53:51,929 --> 00:53:54,332
Mm-hmm.
1284
00:53:54,365 --> 00:53:56,901
[***]
1285
00:53:56,934 --> 00:53:58,769
So how are you
holding up?
1286
00:53:58,803 --> 00:54:00,004
I'm nervous.
1287
00:54:00,037 --> 00:54:01,439
Yeah, so am I.
1288
00:54:01,472 --> 00:54:03,874
You're not supposed
to admit that to me.
1289
00:54:03,908 --> 00:54:04,742
[Laughs]
1290
00:54:04,775 --> 00:54:07,478
Liam, I'm not gonna
sugarcoat this.
1291
00:54:07,512 --> 00:54:08,913
These people are sharks.
1292
00:54:08,946 --> 00:54:10,415
And I don't even know
1293
00:54:10,448 --> 00:54:12,383
if they care enough
to do what you're asking.
1294
00:54:12,417 --> 00:54:14,752
So expectations are low.
All right, then.
1295
00:54:14,785 --> 00:54:18,523
Liam, Jackie.
It's great to see you both.
1296
00:54:18,556 --> 00:54:20,925
Hey, are you as excited
about the new sales as we are?
1297
00:54:20,958 --> 00:54:22,393
Um, yeah.
1298
00:54:22,427 --> 00:54:23,594
Yeah. You should be.
1299
00:54:23,628 --> 00:54:25,363
Please, have a seat.
1300
00:54:25,396 --> 00:54:26,997
So...
1301
00:54:27,031 --> 00:54:28,899
What can we do for you?
1302
00:54:28,933 --> 00:54:32,403
First off, thank you
so much for your time.
1303
00:54:32,437 --> 00:54:35,306
Anything for one
of our favorite authors.
1304
00:54:35,340 --> 00:54:38,075
I'm not so sure
how to put this,
1305
00:54:38,108 --> 00:54:41,045
but for some personal reasons,
um...
1306
00:54:41,078 --> 00:54:43,080
I'm asking that you
1307
00:54:43,113 --> 00:54:47,284
reconsider having me
reveal myself as Gabriel August.
1308
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:49,954
Uh...
1309
00:54:49,987 --> 00:54:53,358
You do know the reveal
is scheduled for tonight?
1310
00:54:53,391 --> 00:54:54,392
Oh...
1311
00:54:54,425 --> 00:54:55,526
I know.
1312
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,862
And I'll eventually
go through with it.
1313
00:54:57,895 --> 00:55:00,064
Just not tonight.
1314
00:55:00,097 --> 00:55:01,799
I give you my word.
1315
00:55:01,832 --> 00:55:03,501
Well, we don't really
need your word, Liam.
1316
00:55:03,534 --> 00:55:06,504
We have a contract
that guarantees it.
1317
00:55:06,537 --> 00:55:07,938
Right.
1318
00:55:07,972 --> 00:55:11,676
I just need you to delay
the reveal a few more weeks.
1319
00:55:11,709 --> 00:55:13,644
Liam's not
being unreasonable.
1320
00:55:13,678 --> 00:55:15,480
He's just asking
for more time.
1321
00:55:15,513 --> 00:55:18,115
Jackie, he has already
canceled once.
1322
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:20,685
This has all been timed
to the release of the new book.
1323
00:55:20,718 --> 00:55:21,886
We've built
a marketing approach,
1324
00:55:21,919 --> 00:55:25,423
not to mention a substantial
amount of effort and money,
1325
00:55:25,456 --> 00:55:27,792
around revealing
Gabriel August's identity.
1326
00:55:27,825 --> 00:55:29,827
And obviously,
once that happens,
1327
00:55:29,860 --> 00:55:32,096
the demands
on Liam's personal life
1328
00:55:32,129 --> 00:55:33,431
are going to be extreme.
1329
00:55:33,464 --> 00:55:35,733
I just need a few more weeks.
1330
00:55:35,766 --> 00:55:37,101
That's all I'm asking.
1331
00:55:37,134 --> 00:55:40,705
[***]
1332
00:55:40,738 --> 00:55:43,040
Liam.
1333
00:55:43,073 --> 00:55:44,141
They won't do it.
1334
00:55:44,174 --> 00:55:45,376
I'm sorry.
1335
00:55:45,410 --> 00:55:46,944
I fought for you
in there,
1336
00:55:46,977 --> 00:55:48,413
but the machine
is just too far along
1337
00:55:48,446 --> 00:55:49,614
for them
to stop it now.
1338
00:55:49,647 --> 00:55:51,115
The reveal
is on for tonight.
1339
00:55:51,148 --> 00:55:53,384
I'm really starting
to hate Gabriel August.
1340
00:55:53,418 --> 00:55:54,652
You need to talk to Sophie.
1341
00:55:56,053 --> 00:55:58,423
I'm meeting her for dinner
tonight at 5:30.
1342
00:55:58,456 --> 00:55:59,824
That'll be
cutting it close.
1343
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:01,959
-We'll make it.
-Okay.
1344
00:56:05,029 --> 00:56:06,531
Okay, so are we clear
1345
00:56:06,564 --> 00:56:07,865
on the plan
for later tonight?
1346
00:56:07,898 --> 00:56:09,500
Jasper's bookloft, 7:30.
1347
00:56:09,534 --> 00:56:10,835
Actually, make it 7:00,
1348
00:56:10,868 --> 00:56:12,670
so my blood pressure
doesn't get too high.
1349
00:56:12,703 --> 00:56:13,838
I'll be there.
1350
00:56:13,871 --> 00:56:15,540
Bad news?
1351
00:56:15,573 --> 00:56:17,408
She's got a work meeting.
She just canceled dinner.
1352
00:56:17,442 --> 00:56:18,943
-What are you gonna do?
-Find her.
1353
00:56:18,976 --> 00:56:20,878
I have to tell her before
i make the announcement.
1354
00:56:20,911 --> 00:56:22,580
It'll all be okay. Mwah!
1355
00:56:22,613 --> 00:56:25,516
You call me!
Let me know how it goes.
1356
00:56:26,751 --> 00:56:28,118
[Recording]: It's Sophie.
1357
00:56:28,152 --> 00:56:30,721
Tell me what's on your mind
after the tone. [Beep]
1358
00:56:30,755 --> 00:56:32,189
Hey, Sophie.
I got your text.
1359
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:35,092
I'm back in town.
I really need to talk to you.
1360
00:56:35,125 --> 00:56:36,894
Like, right away,
face-to-face,
1361
00:56:36,927 --> 00:56:39,464
so call me the second
you get this, okay?
1362
00:56:40,665 --> 00:56:42,833
I know, but if he said
it was background,
1363
00:56:42,867 --> 00:56:44,134
you got to keep
his name out of it.
1364
00:56:44,168 --> 00:56:45,603
That's journalism 101!
1365
00:56:45,636 --> 00:56:47,171
Yeah. Okay.
1366
00:56:47,204 --> 00:56:49,774
Okay, let me know
how it shakes out.
1367
00:56:49,807 --> 00:56:52,142
Sorry I couldn't
fit you in earlier.
1368
00:56:52,176 --> 00:56:54,512
I had to keep a reporter
from getting sued.
1369
00:56:54,545 --> 00:56:55,580
What's up?
1370
00:56:55,613 --> 00:56:59,083
I wanted to let you know
that today is my last day.
1371
00:57:00,885 --> 00:57:03,521
Your last day?
1372
00:57:03,554 --> 00:57:05,456
So you're leaving the paper ?
1373
00:57:05,490 --> 00:57:08,593
I'm starting my own website.
1374
00:57:08,626 --> 00:57:10,628
One where I get to do
1375
00:57:10,661 --> 00:57:13,798
the kind of reviews
that I want to do.
1376
00:57:13,831 --> 00:57:16,501
Can you make a living
doing that?
1377
00:57:16,534 --> 00:57:19,770
Well, it may
take me a few months
1378
00:57:19,804 --> 00:57:23,040
to get enough advertisers,
but...
1379
00:57:23,073 --> 00:57:24,942
I'm going to give it a try.
1380
00:57:26,210 --> 00:57:28,546
Well, I hate to lose you,
Sophie,
1381
00:57:28,579 --> 00:57:30,481
but I have to admit,
I'm a little jealous.
1382
00:57:30,515 --> 00:57:32,182
Having the freedom to write
about the things you love
1383
00:57:32,216 --> 00:57:33,584
sounds like the perfect job.
1384
00:57:33,618 --> 00:57:35,085
So you're not angry?
1385
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:39,189
I hope whatever you do next
makes you happy.
1386
00:57:41,692 --> 00:57:43,728
Thank you for everything.
1387

Don't suppose I could
1388
00:57:46,096 --> 00:57:47,765
talk you into
showing your gratitude
1389
00:57:47,798 --> 00:57:48,999
by giving me an article
1390
00:57:49,033 --> 00:57:50,234
on the Gabriel August
reveal tonight?
1391
00:57:50,267 --> 00:57:52,069
I can't.
1392
00:57:52,102 --> 00:57:54,905

for my own website.

Hey, you kind of stood me up.

Actually, to be fair, I never
said I was going to meet you.

August really is.

01:00:03,934 --> 01:00:05,235
Oh, you didn't tell her yet?
1430
01:00:05,269 --> 01:00:08,238
I tried. I called, I texted,
i went to her work.
1431
01:00:08,272 --> 01:00:09,273
She's out there.
1432
01:00:09,306 --> 01:00:11,341
I can't let her find out
along with everyone else.
1433
01:00:11,375 --> 01:00:13,377
Take a deep breath.
I will handle this.
1434
01:00:13,410 --> 01:00:15,379
Stay here.
1435
01:00:17,748 --> 01:00:19,416
Hello, Sophie.
1436
01:00:19,449 --> 01:00:22,152
Hi, Jackie!
1437
01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:23,988
How exciting is this?
1438
01:00:24,021 --> 01:00:25,055
Yeah, very,
1439
01:00:25,089 --> 01:00:26,290
and a little
terrifying too.
1440
01:00:26,323 --> 01:00:28,659
I can imagine.
1441
01:00:28,693 --> 01:00:31,195
Is he going to show this time?
1442
01:00:31,228 --> 01:00:32,329
He's already here.
1443
01:00:32,362 --> 01:00:33,731
It's really happening, then?
1444
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:39,103
Oh, I'm presuming you're here
to cover this for your paper?
1445
01:00:39,136 --> 01:00:40,871
Not exactly.
1446
01:00:40,905 --> 01:00:43,207
I'm not
with the daily anymore.
1447
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:44,709
I'm actually here
1448
01:00:44,742 --> 01:00:46,443
covering it
for my own website,
1449
01:00:46,476 --> 01:00:48,145
which just went online.
1450
01:00:48,178 --> 01:00:49,947
Congratulations.
1451
01:00:49,980 --> 01:00:52,416
You let me know if i
can help in any way.
1452
01:00:52,449 --> 01:00:54,084
Thanks.
1453
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:56,420
I may hold you
to that.
1454
01:00:56,453 --> 01:00:58,288
In fact, um...
1455
01:00:58,322 --> 01:01:01,859
How would you like to
scoop your old paper?
1456
01:01:01,892 --> 01:01:05,329
What are we talking,
exactly?
1457
01:01:05,362 --> 01:01:07,364
Um, how about
1458
01:01:07,397 --> 01:01:11,001
the first real
exclusive interview
1459
01:01:11,035 --> 01:01:13,037
with the real
Gabriel August himself?
1460
01:01:14,772 --> 01:01:16,874
Never meant to mislead you...
1461
01:01:16,907 --> 01:01:19,109
I hope that we can--
1462
01:01:20,344 --> 01:01:22,112
Liam?
1463
01:01:22,146 --> 01:01:23,347
What are you
doing here?
1464
01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:25,115
Oh, my gosh. You are
not gonna believe--
1465
01:01:25,149 --> 01:01:27,451
Gabriel August
will be here any minute
1466
01:01:27,484 --> 01:01:28,853
to chat with me.
1467
01:01:28,886 --> 01:01:30,087
Jackie got me
an exclusive!
1468
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:31,722
I'll be quick.
1469
01:01:31,756 --> 01:01:33,023
I just need to say
1470
01:01:33,057 --> 01:01:35,292
what I wanted
to tell you earlier.
1471
01:01:35,325 --> 01:01:37,327
Actually, it's what
I've wanted to tell you
1472
01:01:37,361 --> 01:01:38,395
for a long time.
1473
01:01:38,428 --> 01:01:40,765
Liam, what--
what's going on?
1474
01:01:40,798 --> 01:01:42,399
You're the first thing
on my mind
1475
01:01:42,432 --> 01:01:44,802
when I wake up in the morning,
1476
01:01:44,835 --> 01:01:47,471
and the last thing I think about
when I go to sleep,
1477
01:01:47,504 --> 01:01:49,974
and you're in there
a lot in between, too.
1478
01:01:50,007 --> 01:01:53,110
So, um, although it's...
1479
01:01:53,143 --> 01:01:55,846
Way past the time
i should have told you this,
1480
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:57,882
here it goes.
1481
01:01:57,915 --> 01:01:59,483
That crowd is here for me.
1482
01:02:01,485 --> 01:02:03,788
For you?
1483
01:02:04,922 --> 01:02:06,190
I'm Gabriel August.
1484
01:02:06,223 --> 01:02:07,758
[Laughs]
1485
01:02:07,792 --> 01:02:10,828
And I'm j.K. Rowling.
Nice to meet you.
1486
01:02:10,861 --> 01:02:12,963
[Jackie]: We don't want to
keep you waiting in suspense
1487
01:02:12,997 --> 01:02:14,464
any longer.
1488
01:02:14,498 --> 01:02:16,834
Ladies and gentlemen,
in a minute,
1489
01:02:16,867 --> 01:02:19,469
it will be my pleasure
to introduce to you,
1490
01:02:19,503 --> 01:02:21,806
for the very first time,
1491
01:02:21,839 --> 01:02:24,775
the real man
behind Gabriel August.
1492
01:02:24,809 --> 01:02:26,276
I'm sorry.
1493
01:02:26,310 --> 01:02:29,046
I didn't want you
to find out this way.
1494
01:02:29,079 --> 01:02:32,182
That's crazy to hear.
1495
01:02:32,216 --> 01:02:33,283
You're serious.
1496
01:02:33,317 --> 01:02:34,985
I wanted to tell you before.
1497
01:02:35,019 --> 01:02:36,186
I should have.
1498
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:37,788
I never meant to hurt you.
1499
01:02:37,822 --> 01:02:38,956
I promise.
1500
01:02:38,989 --> 01:02:39,990
How could i
have missed this?
1501
01:02:40,024 --> 01:02:40,991
Sophie, please.
1502
01:02:41,025 --> 01:02:43,093
I can't do this.
1503
01:02:43,127 --> 01:02:44,261
No, please,
just let me explain.
1504
01:02:44,294 --> 01:02:45,562
Please talk to me.
1505
01:02:45,595 --> 01:02:46,931
Wait!
1506
01:02:46,964 --> 01:02:48,966
Sophie, I love you.
1507
01:02:51,335 --> 01:02:53,203
I need to leave.
1508
01:02:53,237 --> 01:02:54,939
I wanted to tell you.
I swear.
1509
01:02:54,972 --> 01:02:57,041
Here he is... Liam Bradley!
1510
01:02:57,074 --> 01:02:59,877
[Applause]
1511
01:03:01,545 --> 01:03:04,949
I can't believe
i let this happen again.
1512
01:03:08,452 --> 01:03:10,855
[***]
1513
01:03:20,564 --> 01:03:23,133
[Applause continues]
1514
01:03:30,607 --> 01:03:33,510
[***]
1515
01:03:43,453 --> 01:03:49,126
* seems you're a magnet
for tragedy *
1516
01:03:49,159 --> 01:03:52,096
* a vulnerable heart
that shaped who you are *
1517
01:03:52,129 --> 01:03:55,399
* a masterpiece
1518
01:03:55,432 --> 01:03:59,236
* cracks on the canvas
the lines on the face *
1519
01:03:59,269 --> 01:04:02,539
* the only hint
1520
01:04:02,572 --> 01:04:06,143
* the only trace of the hurt
that happened to you *
1521
01:04:08,412 --> 01:04:11,381
* that happened to you
1522
01:04:11,415 --> 01:04:13,250
* can't sleep
1523
01:04:13,283 --> 01:04:17,888
* can't keep him
from coming in the back door *
1524
01:04:17,922 --> 01:04:20,925
* board up the heart
and bag up the tears *
1525
01:04:20,958 --> 01:04:22,359
* and bury them
1526
01:04:24,494 --> 01:04:26,663
* yeah, you're walking on air
1527
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:30,667
* numb to my touch
1528
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:35,239
* how long have we been
in darkness? *
1529
01:04:52,089 --> 01:04:54,158
so, Sophie,
how are you holding up?
1530
01:04:54,191 --> 01:04:55,960
I'm fine.
1531
01:04:55,993 --> 01:04:57,261
Really.
1532
01:04:57,294 --> 01:04:58,662
So you keep saying.
1533
01:04:58,695 --> 01:05:02,232
The new website is
keeping me super busy.
1534
01:05:02,266 --> 01:05:04,301
I still can't believe
he was lying to you
1535
01:05:04,334 --> 01:05:05,502
all that time.
1536
01:05:05,535 --> 01:05:07,537
I can't believe
i didn't see it.
1537
01:05:07,571 --> 01:05:11,241
I mean, I told the guy
about Lola.
1538
01:05:11,275 --> 01:05:14,111
You don't think he'll put that
in some book one day, do you?
1539
01:05:14,144 --> 01:05:16,446
He's probably forgotten
about us already.
1540
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,517
He's got plenty
to keep him busy these days.
1541
01:05:20,550 --> 01:05:22,319
I'm not saying
that what he did was okay,
1542
01:05:22,352 --> 01:05:25,255
but I can sort of understand it,
given the circumstances.
1543
01:05:25,289 --> 01:05:26,356
Honey, you can't
be serious.
1544
01:05:26,390 --> 01:05:27,357
For all we know,
1545
01:05:27,391 --> 01:05:29,093
he was just using her
to get a good review.
1546
01:05:29,126 --> 01:05:30,494
[Nina]:
Or maybe he wanted her
1547
01:05:30,527 --> 01:05:31,996
to get to know him
as a normal person,
1548
01:05:32,029 --> 01:05:33,697
not some celebrity author.
1549
01:05:33,730 --> 01:05:35,665
I-i don't know
what to say.
1550
01:05:35,699 --> 01:05:38,035
I really liked Liam.
1551
01:05:38,068 --> 01:05:40,370
Not too often
I'm wrong about people.
1552
01:05:40,404 --> 01:05:43,007
It's not your fault.
1553
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,708
It's nobody's fault
but my own.
1554
01:05:44,741 --> 01:05:48,278
I'll bring you a slice
of Lola's cobbler.
1555
01:05:48,312 --> 01:05:50,747
That always makes things
a little better.
1556
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:52,249
Thanks.
1557
01:05:53,717 --> 01:05:55,252
Look.
1558
01:05:55,285 --> 01:05:56,987
I know it's been
really rough,
1559
01:05:57,021 --> 01:05:58,555
and if I were in
the same place,
1560
01:05:58,588 --> 01:06:00,390
I can't say that
I'd feel any differently,
1561
01:06:00,424 --> 01:06:02,259
but it's hard for me
to believe
1562
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:04,061
that he didn't truly
care about you.
1563
01:06:04,094 --> 01:06:08,665
I'm not sure
what to think anymore.
1564
01:06:08,698 --> 01:06:11,201
But I do know one thing.
1565
01:06:11,235 --> 01:06:13,570
I can't go back to this.
1566
01:06:18,708 --> 01:06:20,610
Whatever we had,
1567
01:06:20,644 --> 01:06:23,313
it's over now.
1568
01:06:34,258 --> 01:06:36,626
[***]
1569
01:07:14,398 --> 01:07:16,366
Hi.
1570
01:07:20,537 --> 01:07:23,173
I'm guessing this
isn't a coincidence.
1571
01:07:23,207 --> 01:07:25,342
Well, I remember
you telling me
1572
01:07:25,375 --> 01:07:28,378
how much you love
forest park.
1573
01:07:28,412 --> 01:07:30,647
That it was magical...
1574
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,418
Your place to escape.
1575
01:07:34,451 --> 01:07:37,287
And...Nina told me.
1576
01:07:37,321 --> 01:07:39,289
But don't blame her.
1577
01:07:39,323 --> 01:07:41,258
I called and practically
begged her to help me out.
1578
01:07:41,291 --> 01:07:43,293
I just wanted to talk
to you before I go.
1579
01:07:43,327 --> 01:07:45,229
You're leaving?
1580
01:07:45,262 --> 01:07:46,563
Going back
to New York.
1581
01:07:46,596 --> 01:07:48,132
I can't be in Portland
without you.
1582
01:07:48,165 --> 01:07:51,701
And I can't take back
being famous now.
1583
01:07:51,735 --> 01:07:53,503
But I've been
thinking a lot lately
1584
01:07:53,537 --> 01:07:56,406
about how things
went with us, and...
1585
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:57,441
And what?
1586
01:07:57,474 --> 01:07:59,376
We both made mistakes.
1587
01:07:59,409 --> 01:08:02,846
We each came into this
a little broken in some ways.
1588
01:08:02,879 --> 01:08:04,414
But we both know
1589
01:08:04,448 --> 01:08:06,816
we've never felt this way
about anyone before.
1590
01:08:06,850 --> 01:08:09,519
If you can find
a way to forgive me,
1591
01:08:09,553 --> 01:08:11,888
I know we can
work past this.
1592
01:08:11,921 --> 01:08:14,558
I do forgive you, Liam.
1593
01:08:14,591 --> 01:08:16,826
So you'll give us
another chance?
1594
01:08:20,264 --> 01:08:25,169
Part of you
belongs to the world now...
1595
01:08:25,202 --> 01:08:28,172
Whether you like it or not,
1596
01:08:28,205 --> 01:08:30,340
they're always
gonna be there.
1597
01:08:30,374 --> 01:08:33,177
I did that before,
1598
01:08:33,210 --> 01:08:35,279
and you know
how badly it ended.
1599
01:08:35,312 --> 01:08:37,281
I'm not him.
1600
01:08:37,314 --> 01:08:40,484
I'm Liam Bradley.
1601
01:08:40,517 --> 01:08:41,651
And I love you.
1602
01:08:41,685 --> 01:08:43,653
Don't.
1603
01:08:45,189 --> 01:08:46,356
I'm sorry.
1604
01:08:46,390 --> 01:08:48,325
I-i can't do this again.
1605
01:08:51,561 --> 01:08:54,431
On that plane
when we first met,
1606
01:08:54,464 --> 01:08:56,800
you told me that
first star of evening
1607
01:08:56,833 --> 01:08:58,802
was good
because it was honest.
1608
01:08:58,835 --> 01:09:01,405
I probably said
a lot of things.
1609
01:09:01,438 --> 01:09:02,839
I'm sorry if I was--
1610
01:09:02,872 --> 01:09:04,941
no. No,
you were right.
1611
01:09:04,974 --> 01:09:06,576
I've spent the last few years
1612
01:09:06,610 --> 01:09:08,545
pretending that
i wasn't Gabriel August,
1613
01:09:08,578 --> 01:09:10,247
that I was better than that,
1614
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,416
that I was meant
to write real novels
1615
01:09:12,449 --> 01:09:15,352
about people's real lives.
1616
01:09:15,385 --> 01:09:18,488
But what's more real than
a love story with a sad ending?
1617
01:09:22,559 --> 01:09:27,531
I should go.
I have a plane to catch.
1618
01:09:27,564 --> 01:09:28,665
Goodbye, Sophie.
1619
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,470
[***]
1620
01:09:49,919 --> 01:09:51,855
[Woman]: Don't
close the door!
1621
01:09:51,888 --> 01:09:53,823
I'm here.
1622
01:09:55,592 --> 01:09:57,894
[***]
1623
01:10:00,897 --> 01:10:03,433
[Belt clicks]
1624
01:10:05,335 --> 01:10:08,605
[Thinking]: One moment,
he was alone and lost...
1625
01:10:12,041 --> 01:10:14,344
And the next...
1626
01:10:14,378 --> 01:10:16,780
She was there,
1627
01:10:16,813 --> 01:10:19,816
filling the empty seat
beside him.
1628
01:10:24,354 --> 01:10:26,756
[***]
1629
01:10:37,601 --> 01:10:38,668
Oh, my gosh!
1630
01:10:38,702 --> 01:10:40,504
You're Gabriel August,
right?
1631
01:10:40,537 --> 01:10:41,838
Close enough.
1632
01:10:41,871 --> 01:10:43,773
Do you mind
signing something for me?
1633
01:10:43,807 --> 01:10:45,008
Happy to.
1634
01:10:47,711 --> 01:10:49,813
You're gonna miss your cab.
1635
01:10:49,846 --> 01:10:53,283
Oh, there'll always be
another one.
1636
01:10:55,452 --> 01:10:56,520
I think
you're gonna like it.
1637
01:10:56,553 --> 01:10:57,521
I know I do.
1638
01:10:57,554 --> 01:10:59,923
That's the first time
I've heard you say that.
1639
01:10:59,956 --> 01:11:01,891
This isn't
Vienna sunset!
1640
01:11:01,925 --> 01:11:03,493
No, it isn't.
1641
01:11:03,527 --> 01:11:05,495
And you've put your
name as the author!
1642
01:11:05,529 --> 01:11:07,331
Noticed that,
did you?
1643
01:11:07,364 --> 01:11:10,367
I know I'm not gonna
like the answer to this,
1644
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,001
but what happened
to Vienna sunset?
1645
01:11:12,035 --> 01:11:12,836
Kindling.
1646
01:11:13,970 --> 01:11:14,971
[Laughing]
1647
01:11:15,004 --> 01:11:17,974
Liam! What have you done?
1648
01:11:18,007 --> 01:11:20,477
What I should've done before,
1649
01:11:20,510 --> 01:11:23,347
written something
that's honest and real.
1650
01:11:23,380 --> 01:11:24,948
A book that I believe in,
1651
01:11:24,981 --> 01:11:27,083
one that I am proud
to put my name on.
1652
01:11:27,116 --> 01:11:29,553
So I can see we're gonna go
1653
01:11:29,586 --> 01:11:31,455
a few more rounds
with Harris-kingsfield.
1654
01:11:31,488 --> 01:11:33,390
You up for it?
1655
01:11:33,423 --> 01:11:35,892
Ha! Nothin'
i like better.
1656
01:11:35,925 --> 01:11:37,561
I can't wait
for you to read it.
1657
01:11:37,594 --> 01:11:39,729
I love seeing you like this.
1658
01:11:39,763 --> 01:11:41,998
Excited and passionate...
1659
01:11:42,031 --> 01:11:43,767
It's been a while.
1660
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,769
I feel great, you know?
1661
01:11:45,802 --> 01:11:47,637
Well, as great as I can.
1662
01:11:47,671 --> 01:11:48,838
I feel good about the work.
1663
01:11:48,872 --> 01:11:51,074
No word
from Sophie?
1664
01:11:51,107 --> 01:11:52,709
No.
1665
01:11:52,742 --> 01:11:53,810
Well, give her time.
1666
01:11:53,843 --> 01:11:55,612
Anything's possible.
1667
01:11:55,645 --> 01:11:56,646
You really think so?
1668
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,482
I do.
1669
01:11:58,515 --> 01:11:59,683
Well, I better
get rolling.
1670
01:11:59,716 --> 01:12:01,851
Let me know what
you think of the book.
1671
01:12:01,885 --> 01:12:03,653
You know I will.
1672
01:12:03,687 --> 01:12:05,722
Ahh.
1673
01:12:11,861 --> 01:12:14,030
[***]
1674
01:12:17,801 --> 01:12:20,036
[Inhales sharply,
sighs]
1675
01:12:30,714 --> 01:12:32,081
Hey, hon.
1676
01:12:32,115 --> 01:12:34,751
Cancel all
my appointments today.
1677
01:12:34,784 --> 01:12:39,055
And book me the first flight out
to Portland.
1678
01:12:39,088 --> 01:12:41,458
Oregon. Thanks.
1679
01:12:41,491 --> 01:12:42,592
[Beep]
1680
01:12:43,927 --> 01:12:45,962
[***]
1681
01:12:59,576 --> 01:13:01,545
I'm pretty sure the plural
of "goose" is "geese."
1682
01:13:01,578 --> 01:13:03,813
It's not gooses?
1683
01:13:05,081 --> 01:13:08,552
You'd think so,
but alas.
1684
01:13:08,585 --> 01:13:09,753
You're the boss.
1685
01:13:09,786 --> 01:13:10,854
How long until
1686
01:13:10,887 --> 01:13:13,089
the broken truth chronicles
review is done?
1687
01:13:13,122 --> 01:13:15,659
Mm. You can't rush genius.
1688
01:13:15,692 --> 01:13:17,761
So how long until
1689
01:13:17,794 --> 01:13:19,929
the broken truth chronicles
review is done?
1690
01:13:19,963 --> 01:13:21,765
[Doorbell chimes]
1691
01:13:25,635 --> 01:13:26,770
Jackie.
1692
01:13:26,803 --> 01:13:28,171
Hello, Sophie.
1693
01:13:28,204 --> 01:13:30,640
This is such a surprise.
1694
01:13:30,674 --> 01:13:32,442
I don't want to take up
much of your time,
1695
01:13:32,476 --> 01:13:33,810
but do you have a minute?
1696
01:13:33,843 --> 01:13:35,545
This is
really impressive.
1697
01:13:35,579 --> 01:13:36,713
It's a labor
of love.
1698
01:13:36,746 --> 01:13:37,814
I've been
working a lot more
1699
01:13:37,847 --> 01:13:39,082
than I did
at the paper,
1700
01:13:39,115 --> 01:13:41,918
but I like
my boss better.
1701
01:13:41,951 --> 01:13:42,919
[Laughs]
1702
01:13:42,952 --> 01:13:45,522
You okay
otherwise?
1703
01:13:45,555 --> 01:13:46,556
[Sighs]
1704
01:13:46,590 --> 01:13:48,925
It took a while,
but...
1705
01:13:48,958 --> 01:13:50,727
I think I am now.
I feel good.
1706
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,462
I'm happy for you.
1707
01:13:54,498 --> 01:13:56,766
It's great seeing you, Jackie,
1708
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,902
but I am guessing
there's a reason
1709
01:13:58,935 --> 01:14:01,070
you flew all the way
out to Portland.
1710
01:14:01,104 --> 01:14:03,206
Liam is still
in love with you, Sophie.
1711
01:14:03,239 --> 01:14:07,010
Wow! You don't beat
around the bush, do you?
1712
01:14:07,043 --> 01:14:08,612
Well, I think it's best
to say what I mean,
1713
01:14:08,645 --> 01:14:10,814
and I think you, of all people,
would appreciate that.
1714
01:14:11,948 --> 01:14:13,750
Did Liam put you up to this?
1715
01:14:13,783 --> 01:14:15,184
He would kill me
if he knew I was here.
1716
01:14:17,153 --> 01:14:19,055
How's he doing?
1717
01:14:19,088 --> 01:14:20,724
Better.
1718
01:14:20,757 --> 01:14:22,626
The first few months
were difficult.
1719
01:14:22,659 --> 01:14:24,093
It was a lot to get used to.
1720
01:14:24,127 --> 01:14:25,962
I can imagine.
1721
01:14:25,995 --> 01:14:28,865
Women must've been
throwing themselves at him.
1722
01:14:28,898 --> 01:14:32,836
There was only one woman
whose opinion mattered,
1723
01:14:32,869 --> 01:14:34,938
and she wasn't
in New York.
1724
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:37,507
Why are you here, Jackie?
1725
01:14:37,541 --> 01:14:39,676
Liam misses you a lot.
1726
01:14:39,709 --> 01:14:42,712
And I'm guessing
that you miss him
1727
01:14:42,746 --> 01:14:43,847
just as much.
1728
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,782
And...
1729
01:14:45,815 --> 01:14:47,216
I thought you'd
want to see this.
1730
01:14:47,250 --> 01:14:48,251
What is it?
1731
01:14:48,284 --> 01:14:50,086
His new book.
1732
01:14:50,119 --> 01:14:51,955
Really?
1733
01:14:51,988 --> 01:14:53,757
A new Gabriel August book?
1734
01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:55,625
A new Liam
Bradley book.
1735
01:14:55,659 --> 01:14:57,527
The first,
actually.
1736
01:14:59,696 --> 01:15:00,997
Return to forest park.
1737
01:15:01,030 --> 01:15:02,766
He took your advice,
1738
01:15:02,799 --> 01:15:04,668
he wrote something honest,
1739
01:15:04,701 --> 01:15:05,835
something he believes in.
1740
01:15:05,869 --> 01:15:08,672
His book speaks
from his heart.
1741
01:15:08,705 --> 01:15:11,975
And he dedicated
it to...
1742
01:15:12,008 --> 01:15:14,143
Someone
very special to him.
1743
01:15:16,112 --> 01:15:18,514
Take care, Sophie.
1744
01:15:22,051 --> 01:15:24,220
[***]
1745
01:15:48,211 --> 01:15:53,282
We finally
put a face to Gabriel August...
1746
01:15:53,316 --> 01:15:55,051
And now you want
to kill him off?
1747
01:15:55,084 --> 01:15:57,721
Oh, I wouldn't put it
quite that way,
1748
01:15:57,754 --> 01:15:59,689
but, um, yeah,
1749
01:15:59,723 --> 01:16:01,758
that is precisely
what we want.
1750
01:16:01,791 --> 01:16:03,793
The book that he was
contractually obligated
1751
01:16:03,827 --> 01:16:04,894
to give us
1752
01:16:04,928 --> 01:16:06,630
is not
a Gabriel August novel.
1753
01:16:06,663 --> 01:16:09,666
Actually, if you look
at the contract closely,
1754
01:16:09,699 --> 01:16:10,499
I think you'll find
1755
01:16:10,533 --> 01:16:12,135
that Liam Bradley
owes you a new book,
1756
01:16:12,168 --> 01:16:13,637
not Gabriel August.
1757
01:16:13,670 --> 01:16:17,106
Gabriel August
is Liam Bradley.
1758
01:16:17,140 --> 01:16:18,007
Liam.
1759
01:16:19,142 --> 01:16:21,077
Where's Vienna sunset?
1760
01:16:21,110 --> 01:16:23,212
The ashes might still be in
the fireplace in Portland.
1761
01:16:23,246 --> 01:16:26,282
[Jackie]: I don't think
it's gonna do you much good.
1762
01:16:26,315 --> 01:16:28,852
But we think you are gonna love
Liam Bradley's new book.
1763
01:16:28,885 --> 01:16:31,120
[Liam]: Ted, I understand
this is a business,
1764
01:16:31,154 --> 01:16:34,991
and your profit
is the bottom line, correct?
1765
01:16:35,024 --> 01:16:36,693
Correct.
1766
01:16:36,726 --> 01:16:38,728
[Liam]: Then I hope we have
some good news for you.
1767
01:16:38,762 --> 01:16:40,764
You know I'm a fan
1768
01:16:40,797 --> 01:16:43,232
of test-marketing
my clients' new books.
1769
01:16:43,266 --> 01:16:44,868
To be perfectly blunt,
1770
01:16:44,901 --> 01:16:46,803
I found Liam's new book
1771
01:16:46,836 --> 01:16:49,372
emotional
and incredibly gripping.
1772
01:16:49,405 --> 01:16:52,842
So I commissioned
a market evaluation research,
1773
01:16:52,876 --> 01:16:54,377
and the results
are in your hands.
1774
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,716
It achieved the highest rating
1775
01:16:59,749 --> 01:17:02,418
of any book
they've ever tested.
1776
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:05,689
You know, market research
doesn't guarantee success.
1777
01:17:05,722 --> 01:17:07,657
It's the book business, Ted!
1778
01:17:07,691 --> 01:17:10,126
There is no guarantee
of success.
1779
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:13,763
But this is as close as it gets.
1780
01:17:13,797 --> 01:17:16,065
It comes down to this.
1781
01:17:16,099 --> 01:17:18,134
Gabriel August
as we all knew him
1782
01:17:18,167 --> 01:17:19,268
doesn't exist anymore.
1783
01:17:19,302 --> 01:17:21,771
Liam Bradley does.
1784
01:17:21,805 --> 01:17:23,239
And to be honest,
1785
01:17:23,272 --> 01:17:25,408
I feel like
I'm just getting started.
1786
01:17:25,441 --> 01:17:27,844
I want Harris-kingsfield
along for the ride,
1787
01:17:27,877 --> 01:17:30,446
but one way or the other...
1788
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,248
I'm still moving forward.
1789
01:17:34,450 --> 01:17:36,886
[***]
1790
01:17:41,224 --> 01:17:43,192
I'm sorry.
1791
01:17:43,226 --> 01:17:46,095
No, it's okay.
1792
01:17:46,129 --> 01:17:47,997
I feel like
it's all my fault.
1793
01:17:48,031 --> 01:17:50,900
If I hadn't introduced
you to Liam,
1794
01:17:50,934 --> 01:17:52,836
you never would've
told him about Lola.
1795
01:17:52,869 --> 01:17:54,738
I can't believe
1796
01:17:54,771 --> 01:17:58,875
he wrote this
in his book.
1797
01:17:58,908 --> 01:18:00,009
It's okay.
1798
01:18:00,043 --> 01:18:02,211
No, it's--
it's not.
1799
01:18:02,245 --> 01:18:04,347
Sophie...
1800
01:18:04,380 --> 01:18:07,717
I told him it was okay.
1801
01:18:07,751 --> 01:18:09,719
Liam called me.
1802
01:18:09,753 --> 01:18:12,756
He asked
my permission.
1803
01:18:12,789 --> 01:18:14,123
He...
1804
01:18:14,157 --> 01:18:16,459
You talked to him?
1805
01:18:16,492 --> 01:18:19,262
He's a good man.
1806
01:18:19,295 --> 01:18:21,865
I know you two had
your problems.
1807
01:18:21,898 --> 01:18:24,901
He's a decent guy.
1808
01:18:24,934 --> 01:18:27,070
He...
1809
01:18:27,103 --> 01:18:30,073
Made me look
handsome and sexy,
1810
01:18:30,106 --> 01:18:31,074
like I told him to.
1811
01:18:34,143 --> 01:18:36,045
How could he not?
1812
01:18:36,079 --> 01:18:37,313
So?
1813
01:18:37,346 --> 01:18:38,481
How is it?
1814
01:18:38,514 --> 01:18:40,784
It's beautiful.
1815
01:18:40,817 --> 01:18:43,519
And smart,
1816
01:18:43,552 --> 01:18:46,890
and funny, but so sad.
1817
01:18:46,923 --> 01:18:48,892
Uh...
1818
01:18:50,493 --> 01:18:52,228
It's Liam.
1819
01:18:54,898 --> 01:18:59,068
When you were
going out with James,
1820
01:18:59,102 --> 01:19:00,770
I kept my mouth shut.
1821
01:19:00,804 --> 01:19:03,272
Figured you knew
what you were doing
1822
01:19:03,306 --> 01:19:04,774
without my help.
1823
01:19:04,808 --> 01:19:07,176
You couldn't have
been more wrong.
1824
01:19:07,210 --> 01:19:08,444
Well, I don't pretend
1825
01:19:08,477 --> 01:19:12,448
to know much
about relationships.
1826
01:19:12,481 --> 01:19:15,284
I only loved
1827
01:19:15,318 --> 01:19:18,087
one woman in my life.
1828
01:19:18,121 --> 01:19:20,857
You found
your one true love.
1829
01:19:20,890 --> 01:19:24,227
I know that now.
1830
01:19:24,260 --> 01:19:27,296
But when Lola and i
were together,
1831
01:19:27,330 --> 01:19:30,433
it wasn't always
so clear.
1832
01:19:31,567 --> 01:19:34,437
Loving someone's
1833
01:19:34,470 --> 01:19:36,539
the hardest work
there is.
1834
01:19:37,874 --> 01:19:39,508
Oh, I messed up plenty,
1835
01:19:39,542 --> 01:19:41,544
so did she.
1836
01:19:41,577 --> 01:19:44,547
We disappointed
each other sometimes,
1837
01:19:44,580 --> 01:19:47,416
we said things
we regretted later,
1838
01:19:47,450 --> 01:19:50,954
but...
1839
01:19:52,221 --> 01:19:55,058
We never
1840
01:19:55,091 --> 01:19:59,128
let that
keep us apart,
1841
01:19:59,162 --> 01:20:05,001
no matter how bad things
seemed at the time.
1842
01:20:05,034 --> 01:20:09,973
It wasn't true love
because it was easy.
1843
01:20:10,006 --> 01:20:13,309
It was because
we worked at it.
1844
01:20:14,878 --> 01:20:16,579
We fought for it.
1845
01:20:19,282 --> 01:20:21,584
What am I supposed to do?
1846
01:20:22,986 --> 01:20:25,054
[Sighs]
1847
01:20:28,091 --> 01:20:31,394
You're the only person
that can answer that.
1848
01:20:32,896 --> 01:20:34,998
[***]
1849
01:21:08,597 --> 01:21:10,233
So?
1850
01:21:10,266 --> 01:21:12,601
Do I finally have
a happy author?
1851
01:21:12,635 --> 01:21:14,570
They're all
out there for you.
1852
01:21:14,603 --> 01:21:16,272
The real you.
1853
01:21:16,305 --> 01:21:17,540
Thanks to you.
1854
01:21:17,573 --> 01:21:19,342
You made
all this happen.
1855
01:21:19,375 --> 01:21:21,144
Well, that's sweet,
1856
01:21:21,177 --> 01:21:25,381
but this had very
little to do with me.
1857
01:21:25,414 --> 01:21:28,551
Your parents
would have been so proud.
1858
01:21:28,584 --> 01:21:29,919
You think so?
1859
01:21:29,953 --> 01:21:32,188
I know it.
1860
01:21:32,221 --> 01:21:35,591
So, do I have to drag you
kicking and screaming
1861
01:21:35,624 --> 01:21:37,293
out onto
the stage again?
1862
01:21:37,326 --> 01:21:38,661
No.
1863
01:21:38,694 --> 01:21:40,496
This time,
1864
01:21:40,529 --> 01:21:42,098
I'm actually
looking forward to it.
1865
01:21:42,131 --> 01:21:43,632
Shall we?
1866
01:21:43,666 --> 01:21:46,069
Let's go knock 'em
dead, kiddo.
1867
01:21:48,271 --> 01:21:50,373
[Crowd chatting quietly]
1868
01:21:53,142 --> 01:21:54,710
Thank you for coming out.
1869
01:21:54,743 --> 01:21:56,479
[Applause]
Thank you.
1870
01:21:58,281 --> 01:22:00,449
I know this is a bit unusual,
1871
01:22:00,483 --> 01:22:03,486
but we have some wonderful news
to share with you today.
1872
01:22:03,519 --> 01:22:06,055
You recently
met this gentleman
1873
01:22:06,089 --> 01:22:09,492
as the author behind
the Gabriel August novels,
1874
01:22:09,525 --> 01:22:13,296
but today, we're here to talk
about an exciting new direction.
1875
01:22:13,329 --> 01:22:15,431
I'll let him
tell you all about it.
1876
01:22:15,464 --> 01:22:18,567
Ladies and gentlemen,
Liam Bradley.
1877
01:22:18,601 --> 01:22:21,370
[Applauding]
1878
01:22:28,144 --> 01:22:30,013
I love writing.
1879
01:22:30,046 --> 01:22:32,015
From as far back
as I can remember,
1880
01:22:32,048 --> 01:22:33,316
I was scribbling things down.
1881
01:22:33,349 --> 01:22:34,383
I've been very fortunate
1882
01:22:34,417 --> 01:22:35,551
to find people like you
1883
01:22:35,584 --> 01:22:37,053
who actually want
to read what I wrote.
1884
01:22:37,086 --> 01:22:41,057
[Applause]
1885
01:22:41,090 --> 01:22:43,559
But for too long,
I've stayed in the shadows.
1886
01:22:43,592 --> 01:22:46,695
Well, I'm happy, and...
1887
01:22:46,729 --> 01:22:50,399
Actually pretty nervous...
1888
01:22:50,433 --> 01:22:52,701
To say
that those days are done.
1889
01:22:52,735 --> 01:22:55,404
My new book is called
return to forest park,
1890
01:22:55,438 --> 01:22:56,472
and as you can see,
1891
01:22:56,505 --> 01:22:59,375
the only name on it
is mine.
1892
01:22:59,408 --> 01:23:00,576
Yes, sir?
1893
01:23:00,609 --> 01:23:04,247
So, are you just continuing
the Gabriel August romances
1894
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:05,748
under a new name?
1895
01:23:05,781 --> 01:23:06,949
Not at all.
1896
01:23:06,982 --> 01:23:09,552
There is some romance in it,
but this book is different.
1897
01:23:09,585 --> 01:23:11,354
It's more
a novel of discovery,
1898
01:23:11,387 --> 01:23:13,389
about a man
finally finding himself.
1899
01:23:13,422 --> 01:23:14,657
Is it autobiographical?
1900
01:23:14,690 --> 01:23:15,658
I refuse to answer that
1901
01:23:15,691 --> 01:23:18,394
on the grounds
that I may incriminate myself.
1902
01:23:18,427 --> 01:23:19,328
[Audience chuckling]
1903
01:23:19,362 --> 01:23:21,597
Let's just say it's honest.
1904
01:23:21,630 --> 01:23:22,698
Yes, miss?
1905
01:23:22,731 --> 01:23:23,599
Does this mean
you've walked away
1906
01:23:23,632 --> 01:23:25,301
from your deal
with Harris-kingsfield?
1907
01:23:25,334 --> 01:23:26,735
No. I'm thrilled
to be staying
1908
01:23:26,769 --> 01:23:28,504
under the Harris-kingsfield
umbrella.
1909
01:23:28,537 --> 01:23:29,805
They've been
incredibly supportive,
1910
01:23:29,838 --> 01:23:31,507
and I look forward
to a long future together.
1911
01:23:31,540 --> 01:23:33,709
[Sophie]:
Mr. Bradley, it sounds
1912
01:23:33,742 --> 01:23:35,344
like return to forest park
1913
01:23:35,378 --> 01:23:38,114
is more personal than
your previous novels.
1914
01:23:39,682 --> 01:23:41,150
It does.
1915
01:23:41,184 --> 01:23:43,119
I've learned a lot
over this past year,
1916
01:23:43,152 --> 01:23:46,021
and I hope that shows
in this new book.
1917
01:23:47,490 --> 01:23:50,193
I'd say it's the most personal
book I've ever written.
1918
01:23:50,226 --> 01:23:51,394
It must be hard,
1919
01:23:51,427 --> 01:23:54,730
being thrust into the spotlight
like this.
1920
01:23:56,165 --> 01:23:58,534
Are you worried
that it might change you?
1921
01:23:58,567 --> 01:24:00,469
Change isn't always
a bad thing.
1922
01:24:00,503 --> 01:24:03,139
I know I've been
changing a lot lately.
1923
01:24:03,172 --> 01:24:05,274
Sure, all this is challenging,
1924
01:24:05,308 --> 01:24:07,176
but I've finally
learned to be comfortable
1925
01:24:07,210 --> 01:24:09,278
in being Liam Bradley.
1926
01:24:10,879 --> 01:24:13,749
And what you see
is what you get.
1927
01:24:13,782 --> 01:24:15,751
Can your fans count on that?
1928
01:24:19,388 --> 01:24:21,724
My fans can rest assured
1929
01:24:21,757 --> 01:24:25,094
that I would never do anything
to hurt them.
1930
01:24:25,128 --> 01:24:29,098
Because some of us still have
deep-seated trust issues
1931
01:24:29,132 --> 01:24:30,633
that we're working through.
1932
01:24:30,666 --> 01:24:31,767
And I'd like to
help with those
1933
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,736
any way that I can.
1934
01:24:35,271 --> 01:24:37,473
[***]
1935
01:24:37,506 --> 01:24:39,708
Are you sure
you're up for it?
1936
01:24:39,742 --> 01:24:42,478
Absolutely.
1937
01:24:43,646 --> 01:24:45,348
It may take
a while.
1938
01:24:45,381 --> 01:24:47,683
That's fine by me.
1939
01:24:49,152 --> 01:24:50,519
'Cause I hope to spend
1940
01:24:50,553 --> 01:24:52,788
every day
for the rest of my life
1941
01:24:52,821 --> 01:24:55,524
showing my fans
just how much I love them.
1942
01:24:55,558 --> 01:24:58,227
You want to get
your camera ready.
1943
01:24:58,261 --> 01:25:00,396
I think you're gonna want
to get a shot of this.
1944
01:25:02,165 --> 01:25:06,235
Speaking as
a big fan myself...
1945
01:25:06,269 --> 01:25:09,505
That sounds like
a wonderful new chapter.
1946
01:25:11,574 --> 01:25:13,776
[Applause]
1947
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,316
[***]
1948
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,789
Don't worry about them.
1949
01:25:26,822 --> 01:25:29,392
All that matters
is right here.
1950
01:25:29,425 --> 01:25:31,827
[***]
1951
01:25:39,635 --> 01:25:42,371
Woohoo!
1952
01:25:42,405 --> 01:25:44,307
