Books, movies,

Restaurant reviews...

Nothing's just "okay" Anymore.

They're either fantastic

Or the worst thing

You've ever seen.

I'm talking extreme Opinions.

But you don't want us

To write reviews

We don't believe in, do you?

Well, if that's what it Takes,

Then yeah.

It's how we generate

Web hits and subscriptions.

Look, I don't love it,

But it's the hand we're Dealt.

All right, I'll have

New assignments

For all of you in a few.

Make me proud.

Sophie.

Got something for you

That might be interesting.

After your little speech,

I'm almost afraid to ask.

That review you're doing

On Gabriel August's New book?

I'm not gonna turn it

Into a hatchet piece

Just to get more tweets.

I've got something Even better.

I just found out that

Jasper's is hosting

Gabriel August's

Little coming-out party

Tomorrow night,

Right here in Portland.

I want you to cover it.

We'll run it with the Review.

Wait. He's revealing

His true identity here?

Why Portland?

It's your job to find out.

Deep breaths.

This is a good thing.

Once this is over,

You can stop Leading two lives.

I'll never just Be Liam Bradley.

All everyone Will care about

Is Gabriel august.

That's who I'll be from now On.

It's going to be okay.

I promise.

And it's gonna feel so good

To finally get this

Off your chest.

Okay, I think it's time.

We don't want to

Keep them waiting.

I'm gonna go

And make the introduction.

You wait here, I point to you,

And that's it...

And the world

Meets Gabriel august

For the first time.

Okay. I'm as ready as I can

Be.

You're gonna be great.

They're gonna love you.

You should take

That seat in the front.

Got it.

If I can have your Attention?

I think you're all

About as excited

To be here tonight As I am.

With millions of books

Sold worldwide

Over the last three years,

Gabriel august has touched

All our hearts.

He has made us fall in love,

And he has made us cry.

It's my pleasure

To introduce to you

The man behind

These incredible stories.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Please allow me to introduce

You all

To the writer

You've come to know

As Gabriel august.

I had a feeling

I might find you here.

This was always

Your favorite spot to write.

I can't fool you, can I?

No.

And you'd best remember That.

Liam, what Were you thinking?

I was standing there

Like an idiot,

Pointing at no one.

I'm really sorry.

I just... I panicked.

Your publisher Is furious.

They're threatening

To release your name and

Information themselves.

Well, they can't Do that!

Well, they won't, not yet.

I told them if they did,

We'd sue them,

And we'd make A big,

ugly public Spectacle.

You must not be

Very popular over there.
