"Eva knew this might be
2
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:40,708
the last time
she saw him...
3
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:43,111
The last time she saw
4
00:00:43,144 --> 00:00:45,146
the man
who had stolen her heart."
5
00:00:46,314 --> 00:00:47,815
[Sighs]
6
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:54,054
Oh, Eva,
you're killing me.
7
00:00:57,325 --> 00:00:59,227
[Phone buzzes]
8
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:07,701
[***]
9
00:01:09,537 --> 00:01:10,604
Ah! Gabriel August.
10
00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:12,440
I've already
pre-ordered my copy.
11
00:01:12,473 --> 00:01:13,774
I know! I set aside
that whole weekend
12
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,143
just to read it.
13
00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:17,111
I'm almost as excited
about the new book
14
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:19,147
as I am about
seeing his face.
15
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:21,749
I bet
he's so handsome.
16
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:24,385
[They sigh]
17
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:29,557
I can't do it.
18
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,193
I can't let the world know
that I'm Gabriel August.
19
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:33,227
It's part of
the deal, Liam.
20
00:01:33,261 --> 00:01:34,728
You knew that
when you signed.
21
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:36,130
Yeah, but I never thought
the first book
22
00:01:36,164 --> 00:01:37,498
would actually be successful.
23
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:38,499
[Laughs] I did!
24
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:40,501
Didn't I tell you it
would be a best-seller?
25
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,870
I just assumed you were
being nice.
26
00:01:42,903 --> 00:01:44,805
I've known you
since you were born.
27
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:46,307
I don't need to make nice.
28
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,476
You can't stay
anonymous forever.
29
00:01:48,509 --> 00:01:51,212
Readers form connections
with the books they love.
30
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:54,182
They want a relationship
with the author.
31
00:01:54,215 --> 00:01:55,283
You're a success, Liam!
32
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:56,817
Why can't you embrace it?
33
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,719
Oh, speaking of which,
34
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,854
the manuscript
for your next book is due,
35
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:03,357
and I haven't seen
any chapters.
36
00:02:03,391 --> 00:02:04,325
Oh...
37
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:07,195
I've written plenty of chapters,
and then...
38
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:09,230
Promptly
thrown them in the trash.
39
00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:10,364
Well,
40
00:02:10,398 --> 00:02:14,635
you are gonna have to find
the inspiration somewhere,
41
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:17,671
because you still owe
Harris-kingsfield two books.
42
00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:19,407
You're sure there's no way
we can just get 'em
43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,276
to postpone the whole
Gabriel August reveal?
44
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:24,645
It's been almost impossible
holding them off this long.
45
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:25,713
It's time.
46
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:27,581
Why don't you go
up to the cabin
47
00:02:27,615 --> 00:02:29,317
in Portland
for a couple of weeks?
48
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:31,952
And I'll see if I can
get the reveal moved out there.
49
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:34,322
You wrote first star of evening
there in less than a month.
50
00:02:34,355 --> 00:02:35,789
I wrote it as a joke.
51
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:37,825
You wrote it because
Katherine broke your heart.
52
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:39,793
Portland has always been
a great place
53
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:41,329
for you to get
your center again.
54
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:42,730
Just like it was
for your parents.
55
00:02:42,763 --> 00:02:43,897
I remember when
your mom told me
56
00:02:43,931 --> 00:02:46,200
they were buying
a place up there.
57
00:02:46,234 --> 00:02:47,435
I thought they were crazy.
58
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:50,238
So far from everything.
59
00:02:50,271 --> 00:02:51,705
But it became
their little hideaway.
60
00:02:51,739 --> 00:02:53,574
Get out of town for a while.
61
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:55,309
Clear your head.
62
00:02:55,343 --> 00:02:59,813
And get ready for
the best chapter of your life.
63
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:02,450
The next one
is gonna be a great one.
64
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:05,919
[Announcement]: This will serve
as the final boarding call
65
00:03:05,953 --> 00:03:07,688
for flight 782 to Denver,
66
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:09,857
and continuing on
to Portland.
67
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:14,528
[Breathless woman]:
I'm here!
68
00:03:14,562 --> 00:03:15,429
-Welcome aboard.
-Sorry.
69
00:03:15,463 --> 00:03:17,398
[Attendant]: Here,
I'll take your bag.
70
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:18,932
[Woman]: That cab driver dropped
me off at the wrong terminal.
71
00:03:18,966 --> 00:03:21,635
I can barely walk in heels,
much less run.
72
00:03:21,669 --> 00:03:23,637
[Attendant]: 1-c,
right up here in first class.
73
00:03:23,671 --> 00:03:25,373
[Woman]: Are you sure?
74
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:27,808
[Attendant]:
Your upgrade went through.
75
00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:30,444
[Woman]: You're kidding.
That never happens.
76
00:03:30,478 --> 00:03:31,712
[Attendant]:
Must be your lucky day.
77
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:34,282
[Woman]: Thank you.
78
00:03:35,516 --> 00:03:37,485
-Hi.
-Hello.
79
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:39,453
[Relieved sigh]
80
00:03:39,487 --> 00:03:41,455
First class.
81
00:03:41,489 --> 00:03:42,956
I feel so special.
82
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:44,958
They'll even bring you
a glass of champagne,
83
00:03:44,992 --> 00:03:46,727
if you want.
84
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,030
No. No.
I... I shouldn't.
85
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,932
Well, maybe just one.
86
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,834
But I have
lots of work to do,
87
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:55,336
so I won't--
don't worry,
88
00:03:55,369 --> 00:03:58,372
I won't be talking your
ear off the whole time.
89
00:03:58,406 --> 00:03:59,607
Do you live
in New York?
90
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,810
No, I'm heading home.
Portland.
91
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:05,713
I was just in the city
for a couple of job interviews.
92
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:07,315
Ah. I hope they went well.
93
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:08,582
We'll see.
94
00:04:08,616 --> 00:04:09,950
Everybody was really nice.
95
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:12,320
Maybe too nice.
96
00:04:12,353 --> 00:04:16,657
I... it's just so hard to know
what people are really thinking.
97
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:18,892
I wish they would just
say what they mean.
98
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,362
Things would be
so much easier that way.
99
00:04:21,395 --> 00:04:23,464
Not always.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
100
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:26,033
Hurts a lot less than lies.
101
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:27,935
Sounds like the voice
of experience talking.
102
00:04:27,968 --> 00:04:30,571
That obvious?
103
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:31,672
[Chuckles]
104
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:32,706
Champagne?
105
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:35,075
Two.
106
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,044
Definitely.
107
00:04:38,846 --> 00:04:40,381
To a great flight.
108
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:43,351
With lots of
fabulous legroom.
109
00:04:44,452 --> 00:04:46,387
[Clink]
110
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:50,858
[***]
111
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,411
You seem very focused.
112
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:12,012
Is it good?
113
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:14,615
It wants to be.
114
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,384
If that makes any sense.
115
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:17,885
The new
Gabriel August?
116
00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:19,620
Thought that book
wasn't out.
117
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:21,489
Mm. I got
an advance copy.
118
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:23,691
You read
Gabriel August?
119
00:05:23,724 --> 00:05:25,359
[Laughs]
120
00:05:25,393 --> 00:05:27,695
No, but
I've heard of him.
121
00:05:27,728 --> 00:05:29,930
Yeah, you don't...
You don't really seem
122
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:31,865
like his typical
demographic.
123
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,734
So you don't like this one?
124
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:35,736
No. I... I do.
125
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:38,506
It's just his first book,
126
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:40,007
first star of evening,
127
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,675
was so good.
128
00:05:41,709 --> 00:05:43,043
Really?
129
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:46,614
I-- I think the first novel
was such a success
130
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:49,817
because it was just so honest.
131
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,586
You really felt like
you knew those characters.
132
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:54,522
Sounds like
i should give it a read.
133
00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:55,923
Absolutely.
134
00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:59,092
Just... maybe skip this one.
135
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:00,594
It's a little
disappointing.
136
00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:01,795
It doesn't feel real.
137
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:03,163
It's like...
138
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,033
He took the first book
and stuck it in a blender
139
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,001
and mixed it up and
put a new title on it.
140
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:10,003
Oh! That's harsh.
141
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:11,038
I guess.
142
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:12,773
I just...
143
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:16,109
I hate to see such potential
go to waste.
144
00:06:16,143 --> 00:06:18,145
Have you heard about this?
145
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:19,547
He has this whole
marketing gimmick.
146
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:21,415
He's very mysterious.
147
00:06:21,449 --> 00:06:23,050
It's a little ridiculous.
148
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:24,084
You think it's a gimmick?
149
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:25,453
What else could it be?
150
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:26,754
I'm sure he has his reasons.
151
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:29,490
Whatever it is,
i guess it's working,
152
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:32,493
because along with
every other woman in America,
153
00:06:32,526 --> 00:06:37,064
I am actually curious
to find out who he really is.
154

[Announcement]:
Ladies and gentlemen,

our descent into Portland,

and we'll be landing shortly.

[Sighs]
158
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:46,006
Well...
159
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:49,443
This has ruined me.
160
00:06:49,477 --> 00:06:51,044
I don't think
i can go back to coach.
161
00:06:58,051 --> 00:07:00,153
I'm going to finish.
162
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:10,030
[Airport bustling]
163
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:11,098
Hey!
164
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:12,566
Hey there.
165
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,068
You look like
you're in a hurry.
166
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:19,807
Staff meeting at work.
I'm barely gonna make it.
167
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,109
Do you want me
to help you with your bag?
168
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,977
Looks like you're the one
that could use the help.
169
00:07:24,011 --> 00:07:25,212
Oh...
170
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,848
Sorry. I gotta run.
171
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:29,583
It was really nice
meeting you.
172
00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:30,551
Yeah. You too.

so jammed up

177
00:08:00,748 --> 00:08:01,582
Just my luck.
178
00:08:01,615 --> 00:08:03,817
My boss'll kill me
if I'm late again.

I'm happy
to give you a lift.
180
00:08:06,754 --> 00:08:08,522
My mom always told me
181
00:08:08,556 --> 00:08:10,123
never to accept

very specific advice.

Come on. It's got just
as much legroom as first class.
185

We can even
split the tip,

you live in New York?

Well, they were
just friends for years.

This whole falling-in-love thing
has kind of came out of nowhere.

gonna split the tip.

Who is he?

We sat next to each other

you just met.

He was in first class.

gonna see him again?

You haven't written a thing,
have you?
335
00:15:51,351 --> 00:15:53,320
Why do you think that?
336
00:15:53,353 --> 00:15:55,755
Because you sound
way too relaxed.
337
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,557
Maybe you should
shake things up a little,
338
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:58,558
go out with friends,
339
00:15:58,591 --> 00:16:01,194

just like always.

00:16:25,718 --> 00:16:28,188
But I'll be the one up there
in front of all those people.
353
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:29,589

it's gonna be hard

for you to let go of
355
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:32,692
this Gabriel August mystique,
356
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:34,627
but you can't keep
leading two lives like this.
357
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:38,365
This is a good thing.
358
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:40,400
Have I ever steered
you wrong before?
359
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:42,302
Is that a trick question?
360
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:44,404
I'll call you
when I get out there,
361
00:16:44,437 --> 00:16:47,107
and you can show me
your town, Mr. Portland.

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

[Doorbell chimes]
606
00:27:00,186 --> 00:27:01,353
Hi.
607
00:27:01,387 --> 00:27:03,422
Hi. These are for you.
608
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:07,026
Thank you.
They're beautiful.
609
00:27:07,059 --> 00:27:08,995
Come on in.
610
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:15,935
Hi!
611
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,236
Um, hello.
612
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:19,238
Uh, it was
the strangest thing.
613
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,373
I was getting ready, and--
614
00:27:21,407 --> 00:27:23,710
drew and i
were in the neighborhood
615
00:27:23,743 --> 00:27:26,112
and wanted to return a book
to Sophie.
616
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:28,147
This one.
617
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:29,348
[Chuckles]
618
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,217
Where are my manners?
619
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:33,686
Um, drew and Nina,
this is Liam.
620
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,688
No limo tonight?
621
00:27:35,722 --> 00:27:37,423
Uh, I have a car here
in town.
622
00:27:37,456 --> 00:27:40,693
So you have a place here
and a place in New York?
623
00:27:40,727 --> 00:27:42,762
You don't really
see that very often.
624
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:45,431
Exactly what kind of
consulting do you do?
625
00:27:45,464 --> 00:27:46,699
Drew, you don't need
626
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:47,734
to interrogate
poor Liam here.
627
00:27:47,767 --> 00:27:48,434
(Sotto)
I thought that's what
628
00:27:48,467 --> 00:27:49,468
I was supposed to do?
629
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,271
How about
a glass of wine?
630
00:27:52,304 --> 00:27:54,206
Wine sounds wonderful!
631
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,708
And it gives us
the opportunity
632
00:27:55,742 --> 00:27:56,976
to get to know
a little bit more
633
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:58,277
about Liam here.
634
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,679
Great!
635
00:28:02,181 --> 00:28:03,916
So how long were
you in guayana?
636
00:28:03,950 --> 00:28:06,018
I did the full
two-year volunteer rotation.
637
00:28:06,052 --> 00:28:08,054
It's really
an amazing country.
638
00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:09,455
That must've been
tough, though.
639
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:11,490
Volunteering was
the hardest thing I ever did,
640
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:12,959
but I wouldn't trade it
for anything.
641
00:28:12,992 --> 00:28:14,093
Wow.
642
00:28:14,126 --> 00:28:17,063
You're full of surprises.
643
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:21,500
Well, this has
been fun.
644
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:24,303
We should all go out
when we have more time.
645
00:28:24,336 --> 00:28:25,905
Absolutely. And drew,
I'm going to hold you
646
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,173
to your offer
to play hoops.
647
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:29,041
I'm no LeBron James,
but maybe a Dwayne Wade.
648
00:28:29,075 --> 00:28:30,242
All right,
but I will warn you--
649
00:28:30,276 --> 00:28:31,310
once I lace up,
650
00:28:31,343 --> 00:28:33,913
I'm more like 6'6" with
a 40-inch vertical, so.

[Laughs]
652
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,415
Have fun
tonight, kids.
653
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,117
Bye!
654
00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:40,920
And thanks for, um,
bringing the book back.
655
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:46,993
I think they liked you.
656
00:28:47,026 --> 00:28:47,994
Well, that's great,
657
00:28:48,027 --> 00:28:50,162
but they're not the ones
I'm trying to impress.
658
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:54,300
I like you too.
659
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:56,102
Now, that's what
i like to hear.

00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:00,272
I have the perfect place.
663
00:29:00,306 --> 00:29:02,775
I was surprised.
664
00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:04,844
Nina and drew and i
have been friends forever.
665
00:29:04,877 --> 00:29:07,446
So what made them
start to date?
666
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:08,948
Actually, I think
667
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:10,282
they'd been in love
for years,
668
00:29:10,316 --> 00:29:12,084
but they were both
just so afraid
669
00:29:12,118 --> 00:29:13,385
of ruining
the friendship
670
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:15,121
that they never
gave it a chance.
671
00:29:15,154 --> 00:29:17,056
How's the cobbler?
672
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:18,424
Mm! Wonderful, Harris.
673
00:29:18,457 --> 00:29:19,826
As always.
674
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:22,194
Everything is delicious.
675
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:23,329
You mean that,
676
00:29:23,362 --> 00:29:26,365
or are you just saying
what you think I want to hear?
677
00:29:26,398 --> 00:29:28,400
No, it was really good.
678
00:29:28,434 --> 00:29:30,169
[Phone rings]
679
00:29:30,202 --> 00:29:32,038
Oh. Sorry.
680
00:29:32,071 --> 00:29:34,140
I've got to
take this. Work.

[***]
682
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:47,586
So, Liam...
683
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,021
You ever been married?
684
00:29:49,055 --> 00:29:50,556
Um, no.
685
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:52,992
Why not?
Something wrong with you?
686
00:29:53,025 --> 00:29:55,294
[Chuckles, then stops]
687
00:29:57,196 --> 00:30:00,833
So no alarm bells
went off for either of you?
688
00:30:00,867 --> 00:30:02,234
We loved him.
689
00:30:02,268 --> 00:30:03,369
Even drew,
690
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:06,205
who was prepared to Duke it out
with him beforehand.
691
00:30:06,238 --> 00:30:07,539
How's dinner going?
692
00:30:07,573 --> 00:30:09,541
We're having a nice time.
693
00:30:09,575 --> 00:30:12,011
But he still hasn't
mentioned his parents,
694
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:13,512
and he keeps
changing the subject
695
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:15,314
every time
i bring up his work.
696
00:30:15,347 --> 00:30:16,615
Give him time.
697
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,951
How's it going with Harris?
698
00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:24,891
It doesn't look good.
699
00:30:24,924 --> 00:30:26,625
Maybe I shouldn't
have left him alone.
700
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:30,329
Well, let me know how it goes,
'cause he seems really great.
701
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,131
Bye.
702
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,536
That's her recipe
for peach cobbler
703
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:39,171
you're eating.
704
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:40,272
It's the best
I've ever tasted.
705
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:41,340
Honestly.
706
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,109
Am I interrupting?
707
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:44,376
Not at all!
708
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:46,979
Come. Sit.
709
00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:49,381
I was just
telling Liam here
710
00:30:49,415 --> 00:30:50,983
the story of Lola
711
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,052
and why I named the restaurant
after her.
712
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:55,487
I thought you didn't like
to talk about that.
713
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:57,957
Well, the story's
not for everyone,
714
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:59,358
but Liam here
715
00:30:59,391 --> 00:31:01,027
seemed to understand.
716
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:03,562
I'm sorry
you lost her so soon.
717
00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:06,165
Well, it's better
to have loved and lost
718
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:07,633
and all that, right?
719
00:31:07,666 --> 00:31:11,203
I like to think
she's here with me every day.
720
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:15,341
Nice to meet you, Liam.
721
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:16,375
You too.
722
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,212
The next time,
723
00:31:20,246 --> 00:31:22,381
you've got to try
the chocolate mousse.
724
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:23,649
It's not to be missed.
725
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:26,052
Can't wait.
726
00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:31,390
What?
727
00:31:31,423 --> 00:31:33,125
Wow.
728
00:31:33,159 --> 00:31:36,262
He must really like you
to open up about Lola.
729
00:31:36,295 --> 00:31:37,496
Is that a good thing?
730
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,565
Yes.
731
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:41,600
It's...A great thing.
732
00:31:46,105 --> 00:31:48,140
[Creek trickling]
733
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,581
Harris actually
liked him?
734
00:31:55,614 --> 00:31:57,116
Loved him.
735
00:31:57,149 --> 00:31:59,351
Sounds like he passed
your little test, right?
736
00:31:59,385 --> 00:32:00,486
With flying colors.
737
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,554
But he still won't
talk about his work.
738
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,256
Or his family.
739
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:06,225
It's like
he's an open book
740
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:07,559
about some things,
741
00:32:07,593 --> 00:32:10,429
and then completely
mysterious about others.
742
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:12,498
It sounds like
problem isn't him,
743
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:14,133
it's you.
744
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:17,003
What are you
talking about?
745
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:18,370
I get that you have
trust issues.
746
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:19,438
Who wouldn't
in your position?
747
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:20,639
But you need
to be careful
748
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:22,441
not to project
your stuff onto Liam.
749
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:23,442
It's not fair.
750
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:27,113
Okay, well, what about
just-- just one more test?
751
00:32:27,146 --> 00:32:28,380
I felt so much better
752
00:32:28,414 --> 00:32:30,216
after he met
you guys last night
753
00:32:30,249 --> 00:32:31,683
and you liked him.
754
00:32:31,717 --> 00:32:32,985
Sophie.
755
00:32:33,019 --> 00:32:35,287
Okay, just hear me out.
756
00:32:35,321 --> 00:32:36,755
I want to see him at work,
757
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:39,125
just find out what
this whole consulting thing
758
00:32:39,158 --> 00:32:40,426
is all about.
759
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:42,028
I mean,
what could it hurt?
760
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:45,364
Come on!
761
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:49,135

762
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:56,275
[Phone rings]
763
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,745
Can't talk now.
Finally in the zone.
764
00:32:59,778 --> 00:33:01,513
Thrilled to hear it,
but we still need to meet
765
00:33:01,547 --> 00:33:03,482
to go over the details
of the rescheduled reveal.
766
00:33:03,515 --> 00:33:04,783
Today's not good.
767
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:06,218
So, today at 1:00,
768
00:33:06,252 --> 00:33:07,353
at the river village restaurant,
769
00:33:07,386 --> 00:33:08,754
I've booked
a lovely outdoor table.
770
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:10,189
You can walk over
from the Marina.
771
00:33:10,222 --> 00:33:11,257
Can't we do this
later this week?
772
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,624
See you at one.
773
00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:13,759

[Phone ringing]
776
00:33:30,409 --> 00:33:32,578
Hey!
I was going to call you,
777
00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:34,613
but didn't want to
bother you at work.
778
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:36,315
I was worried about
the same thing.
779
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,050
I'm not interrupting,
am I?
780
00:33:38,084 --> 00:33:40,552
Not at all.
Really enjoyed last night.
781
00:33:40,586 --> 00:33:41,587
Me too. I--
782
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:42,554
[ship's bell clangs]
783
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:43,622
What was that?
784
00:33:43,655 --> 00:33:45,124
Are you--
are you at the Marina?
785
00:33:45,157 --> 00:33:47,093
Uh, yeah.
786
00:33:47,126 --> 00:33:49,661
I'm, uh, meeting a client at
river village restaurant at one,
787
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:50,696
a business meeting.
788
00:33:50,729 --> 00:33:51,797
A client?
789
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,565
Um, that's good.
790
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:55,101
Maybe we can figure out
791
00:33:55,134 --> 00:33:56,335
a time to see
each other again.
792
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:58,270
Yeah. I'd like that.
793
00:33:59,505 --> 00:34:01,607
Um, I've got to go.
794
00:34:02,808 --> 00:34:03,809
Bye.
795
00:34:03,842 --> 00:34:05,811
Bye.
796
00:34:05,844 --> 00:34:08,680
[***]
797
00:34:10,582 --> 00:34:12,084
So I've rescheduled
the reveal
798
00:34:12,118 --> 00:34:13,585
for Friday at six,
799
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:16,088
and I will handcuff you
to me if I have to.
800
00:34:16,122 --> 00:34:17,289
It's such
terrible timing.
801
00:34:17,323 --> 00:34:18,657
Sophie and i
are just starting
802
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:19,758
to get to know
each other.
803
00:34:19,791 --> 00:34:21,160
You haven't told her,
have you?
804
00:34:21,193 --> 00:34:22,128
Once she finds out
805
00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:23,829
I'm Gabriel August,
that's all I'll be to her.
806
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:24,830
That's all I'll be
to everybody.
807
00:34:24,863 --> 00:34:25,964
[Jackie]:
How can you know that,
808
00:34:25,997 --> 00:34:28,267
if you don't trust her enough
to tell her the truth?
809
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:30,336
Well, you know how
it was with my parents.
810
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:33,239
People treated them differently
because they were stars.
811
00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:35,174
Hi.
812
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:37,443
Oh, no.
This is not happening.
813
00:34:37,476 --> 00:34:38,577
It's her.
814
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:39,611
She's pretty!
815
00:34:39,645 --> 00:34:41,380
Hey.
816
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,582
Sophie.
This is a surprise.
817
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:45,551
I-i was, um...
818
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:48,120
Covering a story
just around the corner,
819
00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:50,889
and remembered you saying
you were having lunch here, so--
820
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:52,591
so you just stopped by?
821
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,794
That's weird, isn't it?
822
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,496
It was all very spontaneous.
823
00:34:57,529 --> 00:34:59,131
Um...
824
00:34:59,165 --> 00:35:00,599
I'll leave you to your lunch.
825
00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:03,702
-You're Jackie billicks.
-Yes.
826
00:35:03,735 --> 00:35:04,903
The literary agent.
827
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:07,139
Oh, um, I have to say,
828
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:09,541
I'm not used to being recognized
outside of New York.
829
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:12,478
I saw you speak in 2011
830
00:35:12,511 --> 00:35:14,480
at the Brooklyn
publishing symposium.
831
00:35:14,513 --> 00:35:16,515
You were so inspiring.
832
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:17,583
Jackie,
833
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:19,618
this is
Sophie Atkinson.
834
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:21,553
It's wonderful
to meet you, Sophie.
835
00:35:21,587 --> 00:35:24,590
I actually write book reviews
for the Portland record,
836
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:27,493
and I probably owe you
and Gabriel August
837
00:35:27,526 --> 00:35:28,894
a bit of an apology.
838
00:35:28,927 --> 00:35:30,296
My review
wasn't very favorable.
839
00:35:30,329 --> 00:35:31,663
No apology needed.
840
00:35:31,697 --> 00:35:33,499
You were
just doing your job.
841
00:35:33,532 --> 00:35:36,368
I can't believe
you didn't tell me
842
00:35:36,402 --> 00:35:37,836
you knew Gabriel
August's agent.
843
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:39,871
Well, it's great to meet you.
844
00:35:39,905 --> 00:35:41,207
I'll let you two talk.
845
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,908
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
846
00:35:42,941 --> 00:35:45,577
This is just
a social call anyway.
847
00:35:45,611 --> 00:35:47,713
Please join us. Please.
848
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:49,548
Oh...
849
00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:51,583
Thank you.
850
00:35:57,923 --> 00:36:00,526
I keep telling Gabriel
that he'll feel better
851
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:03,195
if he tells the world
who he is,
852
00:36:03,229 --> 00:36:04,730
but men, you know?
853
00:36:04,763 --> 00:36:06,532
So stubborn.
854
00:36:06,565 --> 00:36:08,434
But-- but it is
really happening?
855
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:10,669
Oh, yeah. Next Friday.
856
00:36:10,702 --> 00:36:12,704
If I have to drag him
kicking and screaming.
857
00:36:12,738 --> 00:36:14,573
[Sophie laughs]
858
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:16,308
Okay.
859
00:36:16,342 --> 00:36:18,310
At the risk of
sounding like a teenager,
860
00:36:18,344 --> 00:36:19,811
what is he like?
861
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:21,547
[Laughs]
862
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:24,216
Well, he's, uh, smart.
863
00:36:24,250 --> 00:36:25,651
Quite smart,
when he wants to be.
864
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,254
He is genuinely talented,
865
00:36:28,287 --> 00:36:29,588
he's very handsome.
866
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:34,593
He's also obstinate,
he's private to a fault,
867
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:35,794
and sometimes he exhibits
868
00:36:35,827 --> 00:36:37,729
the same amount of
judgment as my beagle.
869
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:38,897
[Both laughing]
870
00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:42,268
I felt bad,
871
00:36:42,301 --> 00:36:43,702
writing
the review I did,
872
00:36:43,735 --> 00:36:46,805
but the truth is,
873
00:36:46,838 --> 00:36:50,742
I really want his next book
to be great, like the first one,
874
00:36:50,776 --> 00:36:52,944
and maybe not having secrets
will help.
875
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:55,381
Maybe his next book
will be his masterpiece.
876
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:56,882
I hope so, Sophie.
877
00:36:56,915 --> 00:37:00,719
Well, I've got a deadline
that needs some love.
878
00:37:00,752 --> 00:37:02,988
Jackie, I'm so glad
we got the chance to talk.
879
00:37:03,021 --> 00:37:03,822
Same here!
880
00:37:03,855 --> 00:37:04,690
And next time
you're in New York,
881
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,925
give me a jingle,
we'll have lunch.
882
00:37:06,958 --> 00:37:08,727
I would love that.
883
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,529
I will see you later?
884
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:11,963
I can't wait.
I'll call you.
885
00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:13,565
Napkin...
886
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:14,566
[Chuckling]
887
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,835
Wow...
888
00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:18,604
Thanks for that, Jackie.
889
00:37:18,637 --> 00:37:20,639
You need to tell her,
890
00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:22,007
before this--
891
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,676
whatever
this is between you two--
892
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:25,877
goes any further.
893
00:37:25,911 --> 00:37:27,579
Well, it's easier said
than done.
894
00:37:27,613 --> 00:37:29,381
I never said
it was gonna be easy.
895
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:37,589
It's so beautiful
down here.
896
00:37:37,623 --> 00:37:39,057
I never think
to do this.
897
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,293
I come here every sunset.
898
00:37:41,327 --> 00:37:42,828
Helps clear my head.
899
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:44,863
It's one of my favorite things
about the city.
900
00:37:44,896 --> 00:37:46,598

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

Don't suppose I could
1385
00:57:46,096 --> 00:57:47,765
talk you into
showing your gratitude
1386
00:57:47,798 --> 00:57:48,999
by giving me an article
1387
00:57:49,033 --> 00:57:50,234
on the Gabriel August
reveal tonight?
1388
00:57:50,267 --> 00:57:52,069
I can't.
1389
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.

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