00:01:02Hey, Vanessa, do you have a minute?
00:01:04Sure.
00:01:07I'm allotting space for the next issue. Do you have enough to fill four columns?
00:01:11Yeah, I think so. Shouldn't be a problem.
00:01:12And when should I expect the draft?
00:01:14I'm putting finishing touches on probably end of day tomorrow.
00:01:17Great. Early as usual. Remind me of the angle again?
00:01:21Yeah, so it's a lifestyle piece on the exploding yoga industry. Hot yoga, cold yoga, goat yoga.
00:01:26But really, it's an examination of transitory communities in modern culture.
00:01:31Keep it simple. Remember your audience. They want to know the trends and where to find them.
00:01:36Our job is either reporting on pop culture or creating it.
00:01:39Got it.
00:01:40I appreciate your drive, Vanessa, which is why I wanted to talk to you.
00:01:43Nancy's moving to Los Angeles to open a California office, and we're going to need someone to take over her
00:01:48position as senior lifestyle editor.
00:01:50Oh, well, I happen to know the perfect person.
00:01:53We're considering several people in-house, but I just wanted to let you know you're in the mix.
00:01:58Great.
00:01:59A lot of weight will be given to each candidate's work on this next issue, so let's hope your yoga
00:02:03thing blows everyone away.
00:02:04Well, I feel more than up for the challenge. Thank you.
00:02:07Goat yoga. That's really a thing?
00:02:09Yeah, it's like regular yoga, but goats climb on you like trees.
00:02:13That can't be good.
00:02:15Oh, I almost forgot. Stacy and I are having a little get-together this weekend. Why don't you and Jack
00:02:19stop by?
00:02:19Um, Jack and I are no longer together. It's okay. It's for the best.
00:02:26Thanks.
00:02:34Is it for the best? I mean, don't you really just pick somebody and make it work?
00:02:38I mean, can you make it work if it's not the right person, though?
00:02:43Now reach for the sky.
00:02:47Hold.
00:02:47Keep holding.
00:02:52And...
00:02:53Release.
00:02:54Ugh.
00:02:56Why do we do this again?
00:02:58It's research.
00:03:00Let's go research burgers.
00:03:04Oh, I'm starving.
00:03:08Are you kidding me?
00:03:10What?
00:03:11Okay, don't turn around.
00:03:13I said don't turn around.
00:03:18Oh, okay.
00:03:23Hey, Jack.
00:03:28Vanessa, what are you, uh...
00:03:29Let me introduce...
00:03:30Yeah, yeah, hi.
00:03:31No, we met, I mean, not officially, but great, great class.
00:03:34Talk about a small world.
00:03:35How do you guys know each other?
00:03:38This is, um, Vanessa.
00:03:39We dated for a while, yeah.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:42How about you guys? How long have you been, uh, seeing each other?
00:03:44Just a few months.
00:03:46Oh.
00:03:47Well, um, have a nice evening.
00:03:50You too, you too.
00:03:52Thanks.
00:03:52Okay.
00:03:53Okay, bye.
00:03:54All right, bye now.
00:03:56Well, at least we don't have to do yoga ever again.
00:04:00I mean, we broke up a while ago.
00:04:02It shouldn't still bother me,
00:04:03but I guess I just wasn't ready to see him with somebody else.
00:04:06The right one is out there.
00:04:07You just have to keep doing what you're doing and focus on you.
00:04:10Yeah, I mean, God knows I've got enough to focus on with work.
00:04:13How is work, by the way?
00:04:14Hmm.
00:04:15I've got to tell you, I'm up for a huge promotion.
00:04:17See?
00:04:18Congratulations.
00:04:19Well, I don't have it yet.
00:04:20Okay, what's the job?
00:04:21It's senior lifestyle editor.
00:04:23I'd have a lot more responsibility, a lot more autonomy.
00:04:25I'd get to write articles that have more substance.
00:04:27It's exactly what I need.
00:04:28It'd be foolish not to take you.
00:04:31But do you want to know what I really think you need?
00:04:33Yeah.
00:04:34A vacation.
00:04:36I mean, when was the last time you took some time away
00:04:38to just relax and recharge?
00:04:40When do I have time?
00:04:41Okay.
00:04:42Look, I'm going away this weekend,
00:04:43and I'm going to my parents' bed and breakfast up at Thompson Lake.
00:04:46It's in this adorable little town in upstate Washington,
00:04:49and it is so, so beautiful this time of year.
00:04:51And the season for them doesn't kick off until Founder's Day,
00:04:54so they have no guests until then.
00:04:56It's simple, but it's the perfect place to unwind,
00:04:59and it would just be you and me and the fresh spring air.
00:05:02It'll be fun.
00:05:03I'm really not sure I should take off right now.
00:05:05All you do is work.
00:05:06You work all the time.
00:05:07I know, but it's bad timing right now.
00:05:09And you say that all the time.
00:05:11I really have to work for this promotion.
00:05:13You'll just be away for the weekend,
00:05:14and you'll come back on Monday.
00:05:17Well, I could tell my boss I'd be done writing tomorrow.
00:05:22Okay, let's do it.
00:05:22Yes!
00:05:23Just for the weekend.
00:05:23Just for the weekend.
00:05:24Girls trip.
00:05:25Girls trip!
00:05:26Yes!
00:05:26Waiting for the memories of all the places we would see.
00:05:32Reaching out, I'm breathing in the world.
00:05:36And every day ahead of us.
00:05:40Remembering the dream we had.
00:05:42Ready for this moment in our lives.
00:05:45Okay, well, you take care of waters,
00:05:47and I'll take care of gas.
00:05:48Okay.
00:05:56Um, excuse me, sir.
00:05:57Can you fill it up with premium, please?
00:06:17Why is Martin Claiborne pumping our gas?
00:06:18Wait, who is Martin Claiborne?
00:06:20The man pumping our gas.
00:06:22How do you know the name of the guy pumping our gas?
00:06:23Because he's a famous writer.
00:06:25He's the master of mystery.
00:06:27Why would the master of mystery be pumping our gas?
00:06:30That's my original question!
00:06:31How do you know it's him?
00:06:32Because I went to one of his book signings a few years ago.
00:06:34I know what he looks like.
00:06:35Not convinced.
00:06:36I don't.
00:06:38Here.
00:06:39Okay.
00:06:40Look at that.
00:06:43That's a dog.
00:06:44That, that is his dog!
00:06:46Ernie!
00:06:47Wait, how do you know the name of his dog?
00:06:49All Claiborne fans know, Ernie.
00:06:52I'm gonna go talk to him.
00:06:53No!
00:06:54Don't, don't, don't!
00:06:54What are you gonna say?
00:06:56I'm first going to apologize for mistaking him for being our gas attendant, and then
00:07:00I'm gonna ask him to sign your book.
00:07:02No, no, no, I don't want to be that person.
00:07:04You know the name of his dog.
00:07:05You already are that person.
00:07:07No, I'm not.
00:07:08I'm not.
00:07:08I'm not like a crazy fan.
00:07:09A little bit.
00:07:10No, I only went to one book signings.
00:07:12I only went to one.
00:07:12All right.
00:07:14Anything else I can do for you?
00:07:16Change the oil?
00:07:20No, we're good.
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:21My friend thinks that you're her favorite writer, and she wants you to sign her book.
00:07:25You look a lot like him.
00:07:29Let me guess.
00:07:31Martin Claiborne.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:33Yeah, I get that a lot.
00:07:35But no, sorry.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:39Anyway, uh, if there's nothing else I can do for you.
00:07:42Sorry about the misunderstanding.
00:07:44No worries at all.
00:07:47Hey, Martin.
00:07:49What was it?
00:07:50It's a problem with the alternator.
00:07:52Ah.
00:07:53Why did he lie?
00:07:54You don't understand.
00:07:55He's like the J.D. Salinger of mystery writers.
00:07:57He's sold millions of books.
00:07:58He's got fans all over the world.
00:08:00And five years ago, he just disappeared.
00:08:03I mean, I'd heard rumors he was out west, but...
00:08:05Is he still writing?
00:08:06Yeah, he still writes.
00:08:07He's more popular than ever.
00:08:08I see you really are a fan.
00:08:09I am.
00:08:10Yeah, his early books inspired me to write my own.
00:08:13Uh, you wrote a book?
00:08:15Yeah, well, I didn't...
00:08:16No, actually, I didn't.
00:08:17I wrote a few chapters, and then...
00:08:18Why didn't I know about this?
00:08:20Because it's not even worth mentioning.
00:08:22If my best friend writes a book, it's worth mentioning.
00:08:24It's a pipe dream that I had years ago.
00:08:27No, I had no idea.
00:08:29Yeah.
00:08:30Okay, well, this conversation is not over.
00:08:32Okay.
00:08:42Oh, I love it here.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:00Okay.
00:09:03Hi.
00:09:04Hi.
00:09:05Hi.
00:09:06Hi.
00:09:08Gosh, so nice to meet you.
00:09:10Nice to meet you.
00:09:11I've heard so much about you guys.
00:09:12So glad you're here.
00:09:16Oh, I'm really looking forward to this.
00:09:18Well, then let's get you settled in.
00:09:20Okay.
00:09:21May I?
00:09:21Sure.
00:09:22Good gentleman.
00:09:23Yes, please.
00:09:24Well, I hope you'll be comfortable in here.
00:09:26Oh, my gosh.
00:09:27This is so beautiful.
00:09:29Closet.
00:09:30Bathroom.
00:09:30Uh, TV is, um...
00:09:32There's a whole bunch of books and board games down the lobby.
00:09:35Even better.
00:09:36You guys hungry?
00:09:37Yes.
00:09:38Great.
00:09:38I'll whip you up some.
00:09:39Make yourselves at home.
00:09:40Okay.
00:09:47You should interview Martin for the magazine.
00:09:49You scared me.
00:09:50Sorry.
00:09:52I know I should have knocked, but I was just too excited by my brilliant idea.
00:09:57What am I supposed to do?
00:09:58Just go knock on his door, wherever that is, and say hi.
00:10:01You don't know me, but I'd like you to grant me your only interview in the last five years.
00:10:05Yes.
00:10:06Wait, why doesn't he do interviews?
00:10:08Because he doesn't do any press or public appearances.
00:10:10Well, he needs to get over that.
00:10:11Okay.
00:10:12I love your enthusiasm, but you are clearly delirious.
00:10:15You need to go to sleep.
00:10:16Okay, but this discussion isn't over.
00:10:17Okay?
00:10:18Get out of here.
00:10:19It's a good idea.
00:10:22Get out of here.
00:10:32Okay, what is stopping you?
00:10:34Well, for starters, I wouldn't know where to find him.
00:10:37All right.
00:10:38Well, then let's review.
00:10:39He's on a first-name basis with a gas station attendant, which tells us he's a local.
00:10:44I'm a journalist.
00:10:45I know how to find him if I want to.
00:10:46Look, I want to respect his privacy.
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:50Mom, do you know any famous writers that live in the area?
00:10:53Oh, we've got two.
00:10:55There's Earl Harper, who does the monthly newsletter, and then there's Marty, who lives up by the lake.
00:11:02You guys know Martin Clayborne?
00:11:04Oh, of course we do.
00:11:05I mean, we know all the residents around here.
00:11:07I mean, it's funny you should mention him, because we actually have a package for him that was delivered to
00:11:12us by mistake.
00:11:13You're welcome to take it up there if you like.
00:11:16Oh, gee, I'd love that.
00:11:17That would be amazing.
00:11:18Wow.
00:11:19Your parents know a legend.
00:11:21Oh, no.
00:11:22I prefer reading westerns myself, but I hear he's a pretty good writer.
00:11:26Yeah, he's amazing.
00:11:27He's the best.
00:11:28He's actually a famous recluse.
00:11:30So it's wild that I found him up here, and your daughter, who I love like a sister, thinks I
00:11:34should interview him.
00:11:35Oh, well, he's always been very friendly to Stanley and me, involved in town meetings, sponsors our Founders Day celebration
00:11:41every year.
00:11:42But other than that, he's pretty private, and we don't pry.
00:11:45The code in these parts is, don't stick your nose in other people's business.
00:11:51I heard he was pretty wild in his younger days.
00:11:54Rune.
00:11:55Just tell me what I heard.
00:11:59Are you trying to take a bite, Mom?
00:12:00Maybe.
00:12:01Well, this is about the best thing I've ever tasted.
00:12:03Right?
00:12:03Mm-hmm.
00:12:04Great.
00:12:05Mm.
00:12:06Um, I'll go ahead and take this.
00:12:12Hi.
00:12:12Hi, Peter.
00:12:13Hey, I wanted to give you a heads up.
00:12:15I just got out of a meeting with the editors, and it looks like they're leaning towards another candidate for
00:12:20the job.
00:12:21Um, did they say why?
00:12:22This person has consistently landed some pretty big interviews.
00:12:27I have something new.
00:12:29What about your yoga story?
00:12:31The yoga story's fine, but save it for later.
00:12:33I have something, um, I have something huge.
00:12:37How huge?
00:12:39What if I told you that I could get an all-access profile of the one and only Martin Claiborne?
00:12:48What have I done?
00:12:50Okay, let's review.
00:12:51What exactly did you say?
00:12:52I said that I got an all-access exclusive with Martin Claiborne, which is the biggest cover story the magazine's
00:12:57ever had.
00:12:58And what did Peter say?
00:12:59He said that if I could deliver, the promotion is probably mine.
00:13:04Most definitely mine.
00:13:04That's good.
00:13:05Except for the fact that Martin hasn't agreed to anything yet.
00:13:07No, minor detail.
00:13:09Look at it as motivation, okay?
00:13:10You're living your motto.
00:13:11You're going boldly in the direction of your dreams.
00:13:14Yeah.
00:13:15Yeah, okay.
00:13:16All right, it's my time.
00:13:17Why shouldn't I get what I want?
00:13:19Exactly, okay?
00:13:20And it's not even technically a lie, because how do you know what he's going to say if you haven't
00:13:23even asked him yet?
00:13:24That's true.
00:13:25Okay, so what's your plan?
00:13:28You do have a plan, right?
00:13:44This is your plan?
00:13:46Yeah, you got a better one?
00:13:47No.
00:13:48Then this is my plan.
00:13:49Uh-huh.
00:13:51Could you...
00:13:52Yeah, thanks.
00:13:58Stay, Ernie.
00:14:02Hi.
00:14:03Hi.
00:14:03Can I help you?
00:14:04I'm Vanessa, and this is my friend, Amber.
00:14:09The ones from the gas station?
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12Did you follow me here?
00:14:13No, of course not.
00:14:15That would be so weird.
00:14:17Um, no, Amber's parents live in town.
00:14:19You might know them, Stan and Ruth.
00:14:21Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure.
00:14:23Very nice people.
00:14:24Uh, is this for me?
00:14:25That's for you, yes.
00:14:27In fact, Stan was going to bring it, but then I said to myself, well, Vanessa, you're going down to
00:14:31the lake anyway, so might as well just bring it yourself.
00:14:33So here I am, and then there it is.
00:14:37Got to get back to work now, so...
00:14:39Sure.
00:14:44Take good care now.
00:14:49Oh, my God.
00:14:51Oh, my God.
00:14:54You excited, Ernie?
00:14:56Me, too.
00:14:58I quit.
00:14:59I quit.
00:14:59I can't do this anymore, right?
00:15:00No, you'll never get another chance at this.
00:15:02We can figure this out.
00:15:03What are we going to say?
00:15:05Yeah, normal.
00:15:10Yep.
00:15:11How's my favorite client?
00:15:13Cassidy, how can I help you?
00:15:16I just wanted to check in on how the new book is coming.
00:15:19There is no new book.
00:15:20I told you that, Cass.
00:15:22No, you said you had writer's block.
00:15:24I was hoping it had passed.
00:15:26Nope.
00:15:27Still got it.
00:15:28Whatever you end up writing, you're going to knock it out of the park.
00:15:31You always do.
00:15:32Well, thank you.
00:15:33I appreciate that.
00:15:34I just don't want to get your hopes up.
00:15:37You'll keep me posted?
00:15:38I promise.
00:15:41Bye, Cassidy.
00:15:47Dream job.
00:15:47Dream promotion.
00:15:48Get the job done.
00:15:49That's right.
00:15:49Here we go.
00:15:57Stay.
00:15:57Stay, stay, stay.
00:16:02Us again.
00:16:04Hi.
00:16:05Sorry, this won't take but a moment.
00:16:07My name is Vanessa.
00:16:08Yeah, we covered that on the last visit.
00:16:10We did.
00:16:11I work for a lifestyle magazine.
00:16:13I'll give you my card.
00:16:14Oh, your magazine subscription.
00:16:16No, I write.
00:16:18I'm a writer for the magazine.
00:16:20I thought that maybe...
00:16:21Let me guess.
00:16:22You want to do a story?
00:16:25I think your fans would love to know what you've been up to.
00:16:28Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I'll tell you what I told every reporter for the last five
00:16:33years.
00:16:34Thanks, but no thanks.
00:16:37Take good care.
00:16:50So it remains to be seen if this new mystery man's talent will sustain him, but by the looks of
00:16:55it,
00:16:55Claiborne is more of a cliche, concerned more with nightlife and fame than creating any lasting legacy.
00:17:02That was the last press he ever did.
00:17:04I mean, no wonder he doesn't want to do interviews.
00:17:06You writers can be so brutal.
00:17:08Well, at least you tried.
00:17:09That's the important thing.
00:17:12Yeah.
00:17:13Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.
00:17:15I probably should just call Peter and tell him the bad news.
00:17:17No, you can't throw in the towel so soon.
00:17:20What am I supposed to do?
00:17:22I can't, like, tie him to a chair and force him to talk to me.
00:17:24I hadn't thought of that.
00:17:28Joking.
00:17:28Don't stay up too late.
00:17:29We're hitting the lake early tomorrow.
00:17:34How early is early?
00:17:47Up and at him, girls.
00:17:49Those fish won't catch themselves.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:56A long-tailed Jaeger.
00:17:58Is that a good thing?
00:18:00Let's let our guests take a look.
00:18:02Oh, okay.
00:18:04It's about halfway up the tallest pine right there.
00:18:09Can you see it?
00:18:12I'm not sure.
00:18:12Oh, they're migrant birds.
00:18:14They come from hundreds of miles away.
00:18:15They only stay a couple of months, so it's a rare sight.
00:18:20I don't believe it.
00:18:22What?
00:18:24It's him.
00:18:25What?
00:18:26It's him.
00:18:27It's Briden.
00:18:31It's the rarest of all birds, the reclusive Claiborne.
00:18:35I say we just pack up and head back into town for lunch.
00:18:40This might be fate giving you another chance.
00:18:42I like the way you think.
00:18:47You certain you want to do this?
00:18:51Yeah, yeah.
00:18:52You guys should go ahead, and I will catch up with you later.
00:18:54Okay, then let's go over your plan of attack.
00:18:55I don't have a plan, and it's not an attack.
00:18:57I'm definitely just going to go talk to him.
00:18:59I think I should strike up a conversation about a common interest, and that common interest will be...
00:19:05...be fishing.
00:19:08You have never fished a day in your life.
00:19:11I have so.
00:19:12When?
00:19:13Today.
00:19:14I'm going to improvise.
00:19:16Ah, well, then you'll want to accessorize.
00:19:19Hey, thanks for being on my side.
00:19:21Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?
00:19:23Yes, I'm going to be fine.
00:19:24This is great.
00:19:25I've got my phone.
00:19:26I will text you when I'm ready to get picked up.
00:19:28Wish me luck.
00:19:28I'm going to go catch a big fish.
00:19:30Wow.
00:19:31I'm going boldly.
00:19:33I'm starting to wish you had a different motto.
00:19:48Hey.
00:19:49Hey, Vanessa.
00:19:51What are the odds?
00:19:53Mind if I join you?
00:19:55Sure.
00:19:56Sure, why not?
00:19:57Great.
00:20:00What are you fishing for?
00:20:03Ah, what am I fishing for?
00:20:05That's a good question.
00:20:08Really good question.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:12You want to get back to me on that?
00:20:15You're funny.
00:20:17No, I'm going to fish for catfish today.
00:20:21Wow, catfish.
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:23Wow, I didn't know that this lake even had catfish.
00:20:27Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:20:28Lots of them.
00:20:30I'm going to catch them.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:36So what are you planning to use for the catfish?
00:20:39What am I going to use?
00:20:40You hear that, Ernie?
00:20:41He wants to know what I'm going to use.
00:20:42I mean, my fishing pole, of course.
00:20:46Uh, no, I meant what type of bait are you going to use?
00:20:51A jig?
00:20:52Spinner bait?
00:20:53Sinker?
00:20:55Yeah, I mean, probably just one of each and just really increase my odds.
00:20:59Mm, yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:00No, of course, of course.
00:21:01Yeah, that makes sense.
00:21:02Feeling that?
00:21:03Mm-hmm.
00:21:03All right.
00:21:05Okay.
00:21:07So, oh, that's pretty good.
00:21:08There we go.
00:21:09Here it goes.
00:21:11Okay.
00:21:14Yeah, I think you have to release the bale owner for that, too.
00:21:18Yeah, yeah, I know, no, I, I, um, I like to do some practice throws before I, uh, really
00:21:23get going.
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:25No, no, no, no, no.
00:21:28Oh, jeez.
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:30Yeah, maybe I should just help you.
00:21:32Don't.
00:21:32Careful, careful, careful.
00:21:33Okay, you gotta get it, but, um, okay.
00:21:37Uh.
00:21:40Huh.
00:21:42Sorry.
00:21:43There we go.
00:21:46You're off the hook.
00:21:48Ha, ha, ha.
00:21:50Yeah, I should probably get going anyway.
00:21:52Yeah, you're gonna go?
00:21:54I have some work to do.
00:21:55Yeah, me too, I work.
00:21:57Actually, I should probably get some work done, too.
00:21:59Ah, I should go, you're right.
00:22:02Really, you just got here.
00:22:05Yeah, but I've had a long morning, and the fish aren't really biting today, you know?
00:22:09Okay, great.
00:22:10Well.
00:22:11Yeah, I'll just call my ride.
00:22:14Oh.
00:22:16Oh.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:20Oh, no.
00:22:22What are you, what are you doing?
00:22:24Uh, trying to get some service.
00:22:26I don't have any reception.
00:22:29It's okay, you know, she'll, she'll probably just come looking for me, my friend, if I don't come back.
00:22:35Ernie, let's go.
00:22:36Hey, hey.
00:22:37Ernie.
00:22:38Buddy.
00:22:38Oh, you're cute.
00:22:40Ernie.
00:22:41Hi, buddy.
00:22:42She likes me.
00:22:44You good?
00:22:45Hi.
00:22:45All right.
00:22:47Ernie has spoken.
00:22:48I have to go into town anyway, so I will give you a ride.
00:22:55Great, okay.
00:22:56Thanks.
00:22:57Follow me.
00:23:02Okay, okay, okay.
00:23:05So, uh, look, this will just take a second, but, uh, make yourself at home.
00:23:11Just not two at home.
00:23:14Really thought you could pass yourself off as a fisherman, huh?
00:23:17Fisherwoman.
00:23:18Thank you very much.
00:23:20I just, uh, I'm just excited to talk to my favorite author.
00:23:25Well, I'm flattered, but last time I opened up my personal life to a journalist, let's just say, didn't end
00:23:33well.
00:23:34Yeah, I know, I know what interview you're talking about, and it didn't paint you in the best light.
00:23:41But don't you think this would be a great chance to, you know, set the record straight?
00:23:46Look, I am done caring about what people think of me.
00:23:50Wow, must be nice.
00:23:53You don't think it's valuable to connect with your fans, let them know where you've been, how you live, what
00:23:58makes you tick?
00:23:58I can't tell you what comfort your books have brought me.
00:24:02They've inspired me.
00:24:08Look, I'm just a regular guy.
00:24:11I ride my horses.
00:24:12I help out at the town hall meeting.
00:24:14I fish in the mornings.
00:24:17Actually fish.
00:24:19I just try and be a good neighbor, okay?
00:24:22That's about it.
00:24:25I think there's more to you than that.
00:24:34Which one?
00:24:36Which one what?
00:24:37Which book inspired you?
00:24:39Well, Burden of Proof was a game changer, and I loved the case of the Blue Rose.
00:24:44I am really enjoying circumstantial evidence.
00:24:49Good, good, good to know.
00:24:52Maybe you do care what people think.
00:24:56We should get going.
00:24:58Well, I'm sure your friend is wondering where you are.
00:25:00Yeah, yeah, I'm sure she is.
00:25:01Are you sure it's not too much trouble?
00:25:03I guess I could call a...
00:25:04If you ask me again, I'm going to change my mind.
00:25:05Yeah, but then you'd be stuck here with me.
00:25:07Good point.
00:25:09Bye, Ernie.
00:25:18Thank you for the ride.
00:25:20Hope I didn't completely ruin your day.
00:25:22It was definitely entertaining.
00:25:26I'd like to continue our conversation.
00:25:29Look, I wish I could help you, but the answer's still no.
00:25:34Sorry.
00:25:36Yeah.
00:25:47Hi, Peter.
00:25:48I just wanted to check in and see how the article's coming along.
00:25:51Is he as difficult as people say?
00:25:52You know what?
00:25:53Don't tell me.
00:25:54I'll wait till I read a draft.
00:25:55Uh, listen, Peter, I have something I have to tell you.
00:25:58Oh, before I forget, I wanted to tell you about my meeting with Jerry in ad sales.
00:26:01He's already sold two full-page ads based on this Claiborne interview.
00:26:05Vanessa, I think this could be one of our biggest sellers, so I'm clearing some serious space for you.
00:26:09I'm giving you ten columns.
00:26:12Ten columns?
00:26:14Wow.
00:26:14And I'm going to see if we can get Franco to do the accompanying photo spread and cover shot.
00:26:18Now, keep in mind, we're up against an aggressive deadline.
00:26:21But I'm sorry, I cut you off.
00:26:22You're going to tell me something.
00:26:23Right.
00:26:23Right.
00:26:24Uh, I, I, uh, I wanted to tell you that, um, I need more time.
00:26:32I'm going to stay for an extra week.
00:26:34Well, that's pushing it a little.
00:26:36I trust you'll get there.
00:26:38I'm really proud of you, Vanessa.
00:26:40If I told you when I first hired you, then in a few short years you'd be doing an authorized
00:26:44cover story
00:26:45on one of the best-selling authors in the world, what would you have said?
00:26:49I'd have said you were crazy.
00:26:51Keep up the good work.
00:26:52I'll check in with you later.
00:26:54Okay.
00:26:55Good night, Peter.
00:26:59You're going to get fired.
00:27:10The good news is you bought some time.
00:27:12Well, figure something out.
00:27:14Babe, let's face it, I am sunk.
00:27:17And what are you girls up to today?
00:27:19Uh, we're going to go into town, do a little shopping, maybe some plotting.
00:27:24How about you two?
00:27:25I am going to put a fresh coat of paint on the back room.
00:27:28Founder's weekend is coming up and we need as much space as possible.
00:27:33I'm off to the, uh, town hall meeting.
00:27:36Can we come?
00:27:37Well, sure, I can't promise you it's going to be very exciting.
00:27:41Oh, I think it will be.
00:27:48All in favor of moving Taco Tuesday to Wednesday next week to avoid conflict with, uh, movie-in-the-park
00:27:55night?
00:27:55Oh.
00:27:57Okay.
00:27:59Those opposed?
00:28:01No.
00:28:02Duly noted, Gus.
00:28:03Next item on the agenda is, in fact, the Founder's Day celebration.
00:28:07I'm going to turn this over to Martin because he, once again, is serving as the head of the organizing
00:28:12committee.
00:28:13So it's all yours, sir.
00:28:14Thank you, Stanley.
00:28:15Um, well, it's shaping up to be another great Founder's Day celebration this year.
00:28:19What is this Founder's Day that everybody's talking about?
00:28:21It's this big celebration of how the town came to be.
00:28:24There's, like, food, dancing.
00:28:26It's a whole big thing.
00:28:27Now, we do need help with the rappel.
00:28:30So if anyone would like to do that.
00:28:33Wait a minute.
00:28:34Gus, I don't see your name down here, so I'm going to write the arm.
00:28:40Um, I would like to point out that Dottie has graciously agreed to do our banners this year.
00:28:44So, round of applause for Dottie, please.
00:28:46Thank you very much.
00:28:48My pleasure.
00:28:50Um, and also new this year is the face painting station for the kids.
00:28:55So, if anyone knows anyone who's good with kids, who has any artistic...
00:28:59I'd love to.
00:29:01Hey.
00:29:02Well, thank you, Lauren.
00:29:04You are hereby anointed resident facial artist.
00:29:08Nice.
00:29:09All right, so, uh, we still have ice cream.
00:29:12Again, my favorite, and, uh, flowers as well.
00:29:14Go.
00:29:15I'll catch up with you at my parents'.
00:29:17Okay.
00:29:18Oh, beautiful.
00:29:19All right.
00:29:20Thank you very much, and that is a good choice.
00:29:22Thank you again, Susan.
00:29:24All right, we'll see you.
00:29:24Hello again.
00:29:25Uh, you know, I moved to get away from people like you.
00:29:30Well, you don't even know me.
00:29:31I know that you won't take no for an answer.
00:29:35Okay.
00:29:36Okay, I won't ask you again.
00:29:38I just really want you to think about the opportunity that you have
00:29:41to let the world know who you really are.
00:29:42Anything that you want people to know.
00:29:44Anything at all.
00:29:45It's free publicity.
00:29:46You could tease your next novel.
00:29:49Look, I don't need the publicity.
00:29:51My last five books sold two million copies.
00:29:53So, why you?
00:29:58Because I care.
00:30:01You're not an interview conquest on a checklist for me.
00:30:06You're an artist, and I can relate.
00:30:09I know what it's like to craft a story and fall in love with your characters.
00:30:13You have to when you want to tell a story that moves people.
00:30:17And that's all I want to do.
00:30:18I want to move people.
00:30:19That's all I've ever wanted to do.
00:30:21And I'm really good at it.
00:30:26And I think you should give me a chance.
00:30:34Why Shadows of Doubt?
00:30:37Yesterday, when you listed my books that inspired you,
00:30:40you didn't say Shadows of Doubt.
00:30:42I'm just curious why.
00:30:45Do you really want to know?
00:30:46Yeah.
00:30:47Kind of.
00:30:50I thought your main character was predictable.
00:30:53He's the grizzled detective who destroys everything that he cares about
00:30:56in favor of his career, and it's glorified.
00:31:00He's made out to be a hero for doing it.
00:31:02But the truth is, he destroyed everything that he loves
00:31:05because he didn't want to get hurt first.
00:31:08I felt like he was playing it safe, and it's a cop-out.
00:31:13Yes, but aren't we all?
00:31:15Maybe.
00:31:17But for me, that's what I've always loved about your characters.
00:31:20They take chances.
00:31:21They make themselves vulnerable.
00:31:25Which is what I'm asking of you.
00:31:31Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
00:31:33I'm just being honest.
00:31:41I have some ground rules.
00:31:45We keep this limited to my writing career only.
00:31:49I'll give you three interviews.
00:31:51Half an hour each.
00:31:55No deal.
00:31:57I have to be able to ask you whatever I want,
00:31:59and I want to shadow you for an all-access,
00:32:01unvarnished account of how you live and work.
00:32:03It's the only way to do it right, and you know it.
00:32:06Fine.
00:32:08But with one caveat.
00:32:10I get to read the story before it goes to print.
00:32:12That's my insurance that I'm not being misrepresented.
00:32:17Fine.
00:32:18But I expect nothing but complete and total honesty.
00:32:22Fine.
00:32:23And you get to help me with Founders Day celebration.
00:32:27Get to?
00:32:28Oh, yeah.
00:32:30Big job, so.
00:32:32Need some help.
00:32:37Deal.
00:32:41Deal.
00:32:43We start tomorrow, bright and early.
00:32:49Why did you just say yes?
00:32:53Maybe there is something that I want the world to know.
00:32:57Good.
00:32:59Interview hasn't started yet, so.
00:33:01When you say bright and early, you'll call me.
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:12He agrees.
00:33:13That's fantastic.
00:33:14Why do you seem so surprised?
00:33:15I.
00:33:16What made him change his mind?
00:33:18Persistence.
00:33:18I think he has something to say,
00:33:20and I guess I got him to trust me.
00:33:22I gave him some constructive criticism on one of his books.
00:33:25I think it made him see me as less of a fan
00:33:27and more of a writer who's capable of telling the truth.
00:33:31Hmm.
00:33:31Let's celebrate.
00:33:33Hmm.
00:33:34I want to celebrate, but I don't have time
00:33:36because I have to get to work.
00:33:37Martin Claiborne, here I come.
00:33:38Congratulations.
00:33:54Good morning.
00:33:55Oh, good morning, sunshine.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:34:00Ah.
00:34:01Ready for the day?
00:34:11So, uh, I was thinking we could find a little cafe,
00:34:16get some coffee,
00:34:18talk about your early work and influences,
00:34:21and, um, I'm also really interested in
00:34:23how your writing has evolved over the years.
00:34:27Well, lucky for you,
00:34:28we are headed to the home of someone
00:34:30who makes the best cup of coffee in town.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:35Oh.
00:34:36Probably should have told you about work boots.
00:34:38Oh.
00:34:39Oh, I don't, I don't own work boots.
00:34:57Morning, Gus.
00:35:00I see you brought some help.
00:35:01Well, we'll see.
00:35:04Gus, this is Vanessa.
00:35:05Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
00:35:06Nice to meet you, too.
00:35:07Hi.
00:35:08I'm really grateful for your help, Martin.
00:35:10Well, we're happy to help, aren't we?
00:35:12Yeah, sure.
00:35:12Can't have your cattle wandering off now, can we?
00:35:14Especially since you're not 100%.
00:35:16Oh, well, that's what I get for
00:35:18trying to put the gate up on my own.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:21It's over here.
00:35:22I'll show you.
00:35:22All right.
00:35:24Come on.
00:35:25I thought we were going to do coffee.
00:35:29Okay.
00:35:30Okay.
00:35:30There we go.
00:35:32Just get them both lined up now.
00:35:34Okay.
00:35:35So, how did you learn how to become such a handyman?
00:35:38Can we talk about that later?
00:35:39We are trying to hang a gate here.
00:35:41Uh, no.
00:35:41I'm hanging fences.
00:35:42You're answering questions.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:44Fine.
00:35:44Uh, my dad was always good with a hammer.
00:35:48He taught us the value of a hard day's work.
00:35:50It's not your childhood.
00:35:51I know you were born in the Midwest,
00:35:52but where did you spend your teenage years?
00:35:53I grew up all over the place, really.
00:35:55Uh, my dad was a teacher.
00:35:56My mom was a pilot in the military.
00:35:59There it is.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:01I'll hold.
00:36:01Now, you just hammered in twice.
00:36:02Okay.
00:36:04Oh, jeez.
00:36:05Yeah.
00:36:05Okay, where do I...
00:36:06Right here.
00:36:07All right.
00:36:07Nice and hard.
00:36:08Yep.
00:36:09Ha!
00:36:09There you go.
00:36:11That's the spirit.
00:36:12That's good.
00:36:12One more for good measure.
00:36:14That's it.
00:36:15All right.
00:36:18So, why did you decide to become a writer?
00:36:20Oh, still not sure I want to be a writer.
00:36:22Oh, come on.
00:36:25Yeah, you're right.
00:36:27That was just a line.
00:36:30Uh, I was always shy as a kid.
00:36:33It's hard for me to make friends,
00:36:35and especially with us moving all the time.
00:36:38When I was 10, I created this imaginary character
00:36:41named Danny Boyd.
00:36:44I had no idea where the name came from.
00:36:46It just sort of wrote itself,
00:36:47and I wrote all this backstory,
00:36:51and I wrote down every last detail.
00:36:54Yeah, I guess that's where it all started.
00:36:57I've been creating characters ever since.
00:36:59Why mystery?
00:37:00Oh, well, that's an easy one.
00:37:02And, uh, jigsaw puzzles.
00:37:05I love them.
00:37:06Mystery novels are just characters solving problems.
00:37:10And when you do it, right,
00:37:13it all falls into place.
00:37:14All right.
00:37:15Hi, sir.
00:37:15Yeah, all right.
00:37:17You done already?
00:37:19Oh, yeah.
00:37:20She's a keeper.
00:37:21God bless you.
00:37:22Hey, hear that?
00:37:23Gus says I'm a keeper.
00:37:24Yeah, well, Gus says a lot of things.
00:37:27I heard that.
00:37:42All right, here we are.
00:37:44Oh, um, thank you for jumping in and helping out today.
00:37:49I enjoyed it.
00:37:50Well, you know what they say.
00:37:52The best writers are the ones who live in life,
00:37:54not watching from the sidelines.
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:58Who are your favorite writers?
00:37:59Who inspired you the most?
00:38:02Never stop interviewing, do you?
00:38:07Hemingway.
00:38:08Well, you probably could have guessed that
00:38:10with the name of my dog.
00:38:12Ernie, of course.
00:38:13Oh, my gosh.
00:38:14You know, when I was in eighth grade,
00:38:15I had a lizard named Steinbeck.
00:38:16No way.
00:38:17Yeah, I did.
00:38:19All right, well, thank you.
00:38:21Mm-hmm.
00:38:22Oh, hey, um, what did helping out Gus
00:38:24have to do with the Founder's Day celebration?
00:38:26Nothing.
00:38:28Helping a neighbor who needed a hand.
00:38:32Er, well,
00:38:34I also wanted to see who you were.
00:38:41See you tomorrow.
00:39:09Well, what do you have in store for me today?
00:39:12I'm prepared.
00:39:12No, no, no, you don't need the booths for today.
00:39:15All right.
00:39:15No, we're just, uh,
00:39:16picking up something from somebody.
00:39:20Great, I'm prepared for that, too.
00:39:23All right.
00:39:24Hey, thank you.
00:39:25You're a writer.
00:39:26You're terribly fake.
00:39:28Well, I am a mystery writer.
00:39:31Details, please.
00:39:32Okay.
00:39:33Uh, her name is Dottie Chambers.
00:39:35She is a local artist,
00:39:36and we're picking up some banners for Founder's Day celebration.
00:39:39James, that's a hard.
00:39:42Well, come on in.
00:39:45Where are you from, Vanessa?
00:39:47Uh, Portland.
00:39:48Oh, hope you're having a good time here.
00:39:51It's been amazing.
00:39:52I'm actually a writer in town doing an article on Martin.
00:39:54Oh.
00:39:55Oh, well, if you need anybody to tell you what a great neighbor Martin is,
00:39:59just give me a call.
00:40:00I will take you up on that.
00:40:01Come on, you're going to make me blush, Dottie.
00:40:03Here we go.
00:40:04Well, they're over here.
00:40:06Oh, my goodness.
00:40:09Aw.
00:40:10These are gorgeous, Dottie.
00:40:13Thank you so much for doing these.
00:40:14Oh, don't mention it.
00:40:16Any excuse to get the paintbrushes out.
00:40:18These are amazing.
00:40:20No, thank you.
00:40:22Did you take them yourself?
00:40:24Yeah, and thousands more.
00:40:26Wow.
00:40:28And do you do portraits also?
00:40:30Yeah, when I get a chance.
00:40:32They're really exceptional.
00:40:34No, you're going to make me blush.
00:40:42Hey, guys.
00:40:44I almost forgot.
00:40:45A little something for you later.
00:40:48In case you get hungry while you're out running errands.
00:40:51Oh, thank you.
00:40:53You're welcome.
00:40:54Sweet.
00:40:55So, you coming to the Founder's Day celebration next Saturday?
00:41:00Um, no.
00:41:02I'm going to be back in Portland, so.
00:41:03Oh, that's a shame.
00:41:06I know.
00:41:06I keep telling her she's missing out.
00:41:09Uh-huh.
00:41:11Well, thank you again for these, Dottie.
00:41:13They're beautiful.
00:41:14You two have a great day, Kate.
00:41:16Thanks, Dottie.
00:41:17Bye.
00:41:17Bye.
00:41:23Okay, so, Founder's Day.
00:41:25I want details.
00:41:27Well, the legend goes that in the spring of 1857, a rancher named Festus Thompson won the town in a
00:41:37poker game with a wealthy landowner.
00:41:39Okay.
00:41:39Apparently, there was only three dollars in the pot, too.
00:41:43Quite a deal.
00:41:44Yeah, I'll say.
00:41:47So, Thompson fell in love with the place, and when he settled it, he named it after himself.
00:41:53Huh.
00:41:53Thompson Lake.
00:41:55So, it's both a celebration of spring and the birth of our town.
00:41:58It's a really fun time, actually.
00:42:01Kind of sad you're not going to be here.
00:42:04Yeah, me too.
00:42:06That's really important to you, huh?
00:42:09Yeah.
00:42:10Yeah, it is.
00:42:11I don't know.
00:42:11I just think it's important for people to come together and get to know their neighbor.
00:42:18It's a sense of community I never really had in a big city.
00:42:22Hmm.
00:42:24You ever miss it, the city?
00:42:26What, the noise and traffic?
00:42:29Everyone bumping into each other?
00:42:31No.
00:42:31No, not really.
00:42:32Not even a little bit?
00:42:35No.
00:42:36No, this is my home now.
00:42:39So, why here?
00:42:40Why Thompson Lake?
00:42:44Sometimes you just know.
00:42:46You know?
00:42:48Yeah.
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:51It's kind of like, kind of like a relationship, really.
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:57Yeah, it is.
00:42:59Speaking of which, is there anybody special in your life?
00:43:03No.
00:43:03Impressive segue.
00:43:06I'm a professional.
00:43:07Uh, no.
00:43:08No, I can't say that there is.
00:43:10Oh, okay.
00:43:11You never wanted to get married or have a family?
00:43:16This is, this is the life I chose.
00:43:18And, uh, that's all it really is to say about that.
00:43:27Oh, it's just, he reveals some, and then he shuts down, and then he opens up, it's like
00:43:32bits and pieces, you know?
00:43:33It'll take time, though.
00:43:34I mean, imagine divulging your entire life to a stranger knowing millions of people are
00:43:38going to read it.
00:43:39Yeah.
00:43:40I just don't have much time.
00:43:42So is it what you thought?
00:43:44Well, um, he's got a very gentle and caring side.
00:43:48Oh!
00:43:48Uh, okay, okay.
00:43:49And, um, you know, he's not quite the curmudgeon everybody thought he was.
00:43:52He's actually pretty easy to be here.
00:43:54So, that's nice.
00:43:55He's cute.
00:43:57Yes.
00:43:57Is he single?
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:01Why?
00:44:02Because you guys would make a cute couple.
00:44:04Okay, you know what?
00:44:05I'm trying to focus on my work right now, so I just want to keep this professional.
00:44:09Anyway, I'm going to go to bed, because who knows what he has in store for me tomorrow.
00:44:12But you can't tell me you haven't been lost in those amazing blue eyes.
00:44:16Brown.
00:44:17Oh, my.
00:44:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:23I have to say, this version of you is very different from the cosmopolitan Martin Claiborne
00:44:32that burst onto the literary scene years ago.
00:44:34Well, I'm afraid that guy's long gone.
00:44:38Yeah, you were, um, you were telling me yesterday about how you ended up here in Thompson Lake.
00:44:43Care to elaborate?
00:44:44It's, uh, not much to elaborate on.
00:44:47Well, there are a million quiet places with nice people.
00:44:50Why settle down here?
00:44:52I don't know.
00:44:55Some things can't be described.
00:44:58Now, that is an interesting statement from a writer.
00:45:01Well, I don't know.
00:45:02You're a writer.
00:45:03How would you describe what home means to you?
00:45:07Um.
00:45:11Fair enough.
00:45:13Yeah, it can be really hard to put into words the things that we love.
00:45:21Speaking of love, you, uh, have anyone special back at home?
00:45:27Impressive segue.
00:45:28It's good.
00:45:29Learn from the best.
00:45:30The answer is no.
00:45:32Just no?
00:45:33You care to elaborate?
00:45:35Uh, not really.
00:45:36There is not much to elaborate on.
00:45:38Okay.
00:45:42Do you think he's trying to tell us something?
00:45:44I mean, how can you deny that face?
00:45:45I can't.
00:45:47Aw.
00:45:47Uh-oh.
00:45:48Come here.
00:45:49You want me to get the ball?
00:45:50Oh.
00:45:51Okay, that's it.
00:45:51I will throw the ball, but you have to answer some questions first.
00:45:54Are you ready?
00:45:55Uh-oh.
00:45:55Okay.
00:45:56What is Martin's greatest fear?
00:46:01Ooh.
00:46:02It's probably too hard.
00:46:03It's probably too hard.
00:46:04Okay.
00:46:04What is Martin's favorite color?
00:46:06Ooh.
00:46:11Oh, you really are loyal.
00:46:17Oh, well.
00:46:20Blue.
00:46:23And, uh, I'm afraid that if I stopped writing, no one would care.
00:46:31Why'd you hire me?
00:46:33You...
00:46:33Oh!
00:46:53I think he likes you.
00:46:59Got good taste.
00:47:06Ah, ah, ah, ah, our agreement did not include snooping.
00:47:10Fine.
00:47:13Do you cook a lot?
00:47:15When I'm hungry.
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:17You?
00:47:18No, I find some things are better left to the professionals.
00:47:22Well, hope I don't disappoint them.
00:47:26Hmm.
00:47:29What about this old dinosaur?
00:47:30Does this work?
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:33What I used to write.
00:47:34Ah!
00:47:36You write on this?
00:47:37Yep.
00:47:38What do you do when you mess up?
00:47:40Start the page over, which forces me to mess up a lot less.
00:47:44You wrote all your novels on this.
00:47:46Every last one.
00:47:48Yeah, it's like an old friend.
00:47:50I saw that in a pawn shop in New York.
00:47:54I was just out of college.
00:47:55It was, uh, 125 bucks, which was 125 more bucks than I could afford.
00:48:01But that night I decided I'm gonna make that thing pay for itself.
00:48:06Three weeks later, finish my first novel.
00:48:10Three weeks?
00:48:11Mm-hmm.
00:48:12That's unbelievable.
00:48:13It took me a year and a half, and I only got past chapter four, and that's with spellcheck.
00:48:17Wait a minute.
00:48:19You never said you were a novelist.
00:48:21I'm not.
00:48:22I'm definitely not.
00:48:23I'm just, uh, I'm, I'm a journalist, and this interview is about you, not me.
00:48:28Oh, okay.
00:48:30But I'm interested, so tell me.
00:48:33No, no, it's nothing.
00:48:35Come on, come on, don't downplay it.
00:48:37Let's hear it.
00:48:39Okay, all I ever wanted to do was be a novelist.
00:48:41That's what I set out to do after college, um, but...
00:48:46But?
00:48:48I don't know.
00:48:49Life went by, and it was such a long time ago.
00:48:54So why did you give up?
00:48:57I didn't say I gave up.
00:48:58Well, you did say you didn't finish it.
00:49:00No, I didn't finish it, but I did need to earn a living, and, um, I don't know, trying to
00:49:05be a novelist, that's, that's, I don't know if I'm cut out for that.
00:49:09So it's condemned to a life in a drawer somewhere?
00:49:14I'll tell you what.
00:49:16I will read your novel when you finish it.
00:49:19Oh, that's a big fat no.
00:49:20I sent it out already.
00:49:21I sent it to half a dozen people with sample chapters and query letters, and all I got back was
00:49:26a half a dozen rejection letters.
00:49:27And honestly, I just don't, I'm not cut out for it.
00:49:29It's, like, probably just not meant to be.
00:49:31My first novel was rejected.
00:49:33It was?
00:49:35Oh, yeah.
00:49:36By who?
00:49:38Well, funny you should ask.
00:49:43Everyone.
00:49:46Well, never one but one.
00:49:53And one is all you need.
00:49:58Dear Mr. Claiborne, we've received your submission and would be pleased to publish your novel, Burden of Proof.
00:50:03Nothing was the same after that.
00:50:05I had no idea you'd been rejected.
00:50:07Well, nobody does.
00:50:09The official story is that I was a prodigy, plucked out of obscurity.
00:50:14I had publishing houses in a bidding war over my first novel.
00:50:18Yeah, an overnight success.
00:50:19Well, so the story goes, I was in my early 20s, enjoying success, and everything was just so exciting.
00:50:30But then...
00:50:32But then what?
00:50:37Soup's ready.
00:50:41Oh.
00:50:42Hi.
00:50:46Uh, I'll take him out.
00:50:47Are you sure?
00:50:48Yeah, it's the least I can do.
00:50:50Okay, no talking about me.
00:50:52Can't promise that.
00:50:54Come on, come here, baby.
00:50:56Come on, you want to go?
00:50:57You want to go for a walk?
00:50:58Good boy.
00:51:10Okay, let's go back inside.
00:51:22I hope you're hungry.
00:51:26Smells amazing.
00:51:29What are those?
00:51:30Um, I found them on the walk.
00:51:31I thought they were pretty.
00:51:32They are pretty.
00:51:33Yeah.
00:51:34They are also poisonous.
00:51:36All right, now, bad news is, this is going to get crazy itchy.
00:51:42But the good news is, this should all be cleared up by tomorrow.
00:51:48Unless you scratch.
00:51:50So, hands up.
00:51:52Oh, come on, this is so embarrassing.
00:51:54Just in case.
00:51:56Just in case.
00:51:58This one, too.
00:51:59There you go.
00:52:02Oh, thank you.
00:52:03Mm-hmm.
00:52:08Tricky.
00:52:13Need a hand?
00:52:14Can I take mine to go?
00:52:16No.
00:52:17I spent all afternoon making this soup.
00:52:20You are not going anywhere until you try it.
00:52:22Oh, it's so embarrassing.
00:52:27Oh, that's really good.
00:52:31And I'm not just saying that because you're feeding me like a little baby.
00:52:36Yeah.
00:52:38Finish your soup.
00:52:42Hello?
00:52:44Hey.
00:52:46Hey.
00:52:46We're in here.
00:52:48Oh.
00:52:48Oh.
00:52:49Oh, no.
00:52:51Blanket flowers.
00:52:52You guessed it.
00:52:53Honey.
00:52:54Stanley.
00:52:55Hey, Martin.
00:52:55Nice to see you.
00:52:56Ruth, nice to see you.
00:52:57Amber.
00:52:58Hi.
00:52:59Well, she's all yours.
00:53:02See you tomorrow.
00:53:03Oh, yeah.
00:53:04Actually, I forgot I have to do some writing tomorrow.
00:53:08So, I was hoping that we could take the day off.
00:53:12I'm going to be holed up all day anyway.
00:53:13Yeah, that's okay.
00:53:14Yeah, sure.
00:53:15Okay.
00:53:15Good.
00:53:16All right.
00:53:17Well, night all.
00:53:19Remember no scratching.
00:53:20Right.
00:53:25So, what happened?
00:53:27He was making me lunch and I walked Ernie and saw some flowers.
00:53:30He made you lunch?
00:53:31Yeah.
00:53:32Uh-oh.
00:53:33What?
00:53:34Was it like there's peanut butter in the fridge, help yourself kind of lunch, or?
00:53:38He made soup.
00:53:39I think he likes you.
00:53:41I think he likes cooking.
00:53:42Dad, do you like cooking?
00:53:43Yep.
00:53:43Do you ever make mom soup?
00:53:44No.
00:53:44And they're in love.
00:53:46You are, you know, I mean, this is, this conversation is closed.
00:53:49All right.
00:54:01Hi, Peter.
00:54:02Hey.
00:54:03Uh, Vanessa, I don't mean to micromanage, but I really need to see pages.
00:54:08Well, I'm working on it.
00:54:10You know, it takes time.
00:54:11Are you stalling?
00:54:12Is something wrong?
00:54:13Please don't tell me something's wrong.
00:54:15No, nothing's wrong.
00:54:15I'm not stalling.
00:54:16Everything's, everything's great.
00:54:18Why?
00:54:18Why do you ask?
00:54:19Because I ran into Martin's agent, and she said she hadn't heard anything about an interview,
00:54:23which is a little disconcerting.
00:54:26Well, I mean, they probably just don't have the open and honest working relationship that
00:54:30you and I do.
00:54:30Everything's going great, honestly.
00:54:32You know.
00:54:34What?
00:54:35You know how these subjects can be.
00:54:36They're like, um, they're like onions.
00:54:38You have to just, like, keep peeling back layers, which I am doing.
00:54:43Okay.
00:54:44Then why no pages?
00:54:46Because, uh, well, I'm, I'm still formulating my angle.
00:54:50You see, I, I happen to know that's writer's speak, for I have no idea what this story is
00:54:54about.
00:54:54Okay.
00:54:55Here's the angle.
00:54:56The puzzling life of Martin Claiborne.
00:54:58Why the man of mystery ditched high society for serenity.
00:55:05I like it.
00:55:06And you're sure you're getting what you need?
00:55:08I definitely am.
00:55:09Um, I'm, uh, I'm learning more about him every day.
00:55:14Okay.
00:55:15Good.
00:55:15Good.
00:55:16Great.
00:55:17By the way, Franco's agreed to do the photo spread.
00:55:19We're going to fly him up the day after tomorrow.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:23Oh, no, not Franco.
00:55:24I mean, Franco's great, but, uh, I just, uh, I don't think he's quite right for this job.
00:55:28You got a better idea?
00:55:30There's a local lady here, and her name's Dottie, and she's great.
00:55:33She's a really good photographer.
00:55:35Martin's very comfortable with her.
00:55:36And I think she would lend some real local authenticity to the piece.
00:55:42If you think she can do it.
00:55:43Yes, I definitely think she can.
00:55:44Okay, so gotta go.
00:55:45But thanks, Peter.
00:55:46Thanks so much for checking in.
00:55:47Bye.
00:55:47Okay, yeah.
00:55:48What's going on?
00:55:49Martin told me he was going to be holed up writing all day.
00:55:51Okay.
00:55:52So?
00:55:52So what's he doing?
00:55:53What's he doing?
00:55:53Who is that?
00:55:54Who is he with?
00:55:55Hmm.
00:55:56If only we knew someone whose job it is to find the answers to all of these questions.
00:55:59I spy.
00:56:01Investigate.
00:56:02What's the difference?
00:56:04One sounds worse.
00:56:05I'll buy that.
00:56:36That picture says it.
00:56:36Oh, it's a small town.
00:56:37Everyone knows everyone.
00:56:38They're probably just good friends.
00:56:44Oh.
00:56:45Is that a...
00:56:46More than friend smile?
00:56:47Mm-hmm.
00:56:48I think so.
00:56:51Well, clearly this calls for more spying.
00:56:54Investigating.
00:56:54Whatever.
00:56:55I just don't understand.
00:56:56Why wouldn't he tell me?
00:56:57It doesn't make any sense.
00:56:58Something is harmless?
00:56:59Maybe he just forgot.
00:57:00Unless it's not harmless and he's hiding it from me.
00:57:02Okay, you're starting to sound a wee bit jealous.
00:57:04I'm not jealous of just doing my job.
00:57:14We agreed on total honesty and he's keeping something from me.
00:57:17There's a simple solution to all this.
00:57:19Just ask him.
00:57:19I did.
00:57:20I asked him if there was someone special.
00:57:21He said no.
00:57:22Then you have to say him at his word.
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:25Yeah, it's such a silly thing to lie about.
00:57:27Maybe they're just starting to date.
00:57:29You know, there's a reason he's keeping this part of his life private.
00:57:32Maybe he just doesn't feel safe enough to open up to you yet.
00:57:48I think we've got it.
00:57:50Good.
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:51We've, uh, got enough, don't you?
00:57:54Yeah, I think so.
00:57:55We've got some on the porch, some behind the typewriter, playing fetch with Ernie.
00:58:00Great.
00:58:00I trust you.
00:58:01Good.
00:58:02Thanks, Dottie.
00:58:03Thank you, Dottie.
00:58:03Oh, don't mention it.
00:58:05Not so bad, huh?
00:58:07Yeah.
00:58:08They're beautiful.
00:58:10You want to say hello?
00:58:11Okay.
00:58:14Here we go.
00:58:15Hi, who's this?
00:58:17Who's that?
00:58:18Well, this is Bella.
00:58:20I don't have a treat for you.
00:58:21I'm sorry.
00:58:22Hi, Bella.
00:58:23She's a real sweetheart.
00:58:26She's a rescue.
00:58:28Hi.
00:58:30She likes the nibble, but she is sweet.
00:58:34This one.
00:58:38And this over here is Rocket.
00:58:40He's a good boy.
00:58:41He's just, uh, got a bit of a temper.
00:58:43Aw.
00:58:43I don't know.
00:58:44He seems sweet enough.
00:58:46Oh, yeah.
00:58:48Good work today, didn't you?
00:58:50Oh, uh, I wouldn't recommend that.
00:58:56You know, the aggressive ones are usually just scared.
00:59:00They want to know that they can trust you.
00:59:02You're not going to hurt them.
00:59:09Yeah, um...
00:59:09There you go.
00:59:10Hey.
00:59:12Uh, I...
00:59:16You know how long it took me before he'd let me do that?
00:59:20Where in the world did you...
00:59:22Lincoln Park Equestrian Center every summer since I was eight.
00:59:26You are just full of surprises, aren't you?
00:59:31Come on, put that down.
00:59:32I want to show you something.
00:59:36All right.
00:59:38Just up here a little ways.
00:59:41Watch your head.
00:59:42Where are you taking me?
00:59:46Remember when you said you wanted to know why I settled down at Thompson Lake?
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51I said that I would have to show you.
00:59:53Well, uh...
00:59:56Here it is.
00:59:58Wow.
01:00:02Exactly what I said the first time I saw it.
01:00:06Figured if I can't be inspired here, I'm beyond hope.
01:00:14So, uh, I know you did your research on me.
01:00:17Yeah, yes.
01:00:18Well, what little there is to do.
01:00:20So, you know my story.
01:00:22I know that you became a celebrity author, and you kind of got caught up in the literary high life.
01:00:29Right.
01:00:30Well, uh, there's fiction, and then there's reality.
01:00:35The truth is...
01:00:38I was engaged.
01:00:40I was in a happy, committed relationship.
01:00:44All I really wanted to do was just get married.
01:00:47Settle down.
01:00:48What happened?
01:00:51Well, we met in New York just after college, and I kept putting off marriage until I had some success.
01:00:57It was still unpublished then.
01:01:00And then once I did have success with my first book, it just...
01:01:04I don't know.
01:01:05Everything changed.
01:01:06I suddenly had all these people telling me where to go, what parties to attend, how to play the game.
01:01:12According to my agent, it was all to create a persona.
01:01:16This celebrity writer.
01:01:18They thought it would help sell more books, and it worked, just a little too well.
01:01:26What happened to your fiancée?
01:01:27Oh, she wanted nothing to do with the spotlight.
01:01:29Well, it wasn't what she signed up for.
01:01:32So, uh, so we broke up.
01:01:37I'm sorry.
01:01:38It must have been painful.
01:01:39Well, yeah, it was.
01:01:45And, uh, and then you left New York when?
01:01:48Not long thereafter, um, I agreed to let a journalist like yourself, uh, tag along and do a profile.
01:01:55And when the article came out, it was like I didn't even recognize myself.
01:02:04It was like this character that I helped write, and I just hated it, you know?
01:02:10Well, after that, I wanted nothing to do with celebrity life either.
01:02:15So, um, I packed up my stuff, headed west.
01:02:20No destination.
01:02:21Just drove.
01:02:23I stopped at little towns along the way.
01:02:25But when I stopped here, it felt like home.
01:02:34I mean, here, nobody, nobody cares about who you were.
01:02:37You just care about who you are.
01:02:40Seems like it's worked out really well for you.
01:02:42You've, you've had an amazing career.
01:02:44Oh.
01:02:45Success beyond my wildest dreams.
01:02:48Only now, the story is that I'm another bitter writer.
01:02:53Couldn't handle the real world, so he hid himself away.
01:02:57Is there any truth to that?
01:03:00As far as I'm concerned?
01:03:03This is the real world.
01:03:05Yeah.
01:03:07I agree with you.
01:03:13So you're telling me this whole time you've been here, there's been no one special?
01:03:17I don't know.
01:03:20Wouldn't say that.
01:03:24Uh, would you care to elaborate?
01:03:27Not yet.
01:03:33Well, you've got your notes, so.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:38Maybe we should.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:39Sure.
01:03:52Well, this is nice.
01:03:54Uh, I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
01:03:56Okay.
01:03:56Okay.
01:03:57Um, hey, before you go, do you want to come inside for a cold drink?
01:04:04Yeah, sure.
01:04:05All right.
01:04:06Okay.
01:04:06Hey, Martin.
01:04:07Oh.
01:04:08Oh.
01:04:11Thought I had the wrong time.
01:04:13No, no.
01:04:14You, um, you had the right time.
01:04:15I just, uh, lost track of time.
01:04:17Sorry about that.
01:04:18Um, can we do a brain check on that cold drink?
01:04:20Oh, yeah, of course.
01:04:21Of course.
01:04:21No problem.
01:04:21I'm Vanessa.
01:04:22Oh, hi, I'm Lauren.
01:04:23Nice to meet you.
01:04:24Sorry.
01:04:24Yes, uh, uh, Vanessa is in town doing an article.
01:04:29Great.
01:04:30And, and Lauren is, is a teacher who is, uh, helping me with Founder's Day celebration.
01:04:36Great.
01:04:36Okay, well, I'll leave you to it.
01:04:39Have fun.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:41Uh, see you tomorrow.
01:04:42Yeah, sounds like a man.
01:04:43Bye.
01:04:44Sorry about the.
01:04:48Hi.
01:04:51Now I'm really confused.
01:04:53Oh, explain.
01:04:54Um, we, I'm not sure how to put it exactly.
01:04:58Try words.
01:05:01We had a moment.
01:05:05Okay.
01:05:06And?
01:05:07And I wanted to keep it professional, so we went back to the house, and then guess who
01:05:11was waiting for him on his front porch?
01:05:13The girl from the library?
01:05:14Lauren.
01:05:15And he gets all weird, and he's, like, awkward, and just, like, didn't know what to do or say,
01:05:19and it was so strange.
01:05:19He's hiding something from me, and I don't know what it is.
01:05:22Well, you just have to keep digging.
01:05:23I don't have much time.
01:05:57I don't have much time.
01:06:05Oh.
01:06:07Hi.
01:06:07Hi.
01:06:08I didn't, I didn't catch you in the middle of something, did I?
01:06:11Um, no, no.
01:06:12I'm just, uh, getting ready to turn in.
01:06:15What's going on?
01:06:16Well, I was, uh, hoping that we could talk about, uh, tomorrow.
01:06:21Yeah?
01:06:22What kind of manual labor do you have planned for me?
01:06:24Well, I was actually hoping that we could, uh, switch it up.
01:06:29Okay, like what?
01:06:30Well, maybe, um, grab a bite, uh, stroll through town.
01:06:38Or not, uh, we don't...
01:06:39No, no, that sounds great.
01:06:40That's great.
01:06:41Great.
01:06:41All right.
01:06:42Well, it is a date.
01:06:43It is a plan.
01:06:45It's a plan, yeah.
01:06:46It's a plan.
01:06:47Um, okay, great.
01:06:49What, uh, time?
01:06:50Let's, let's say six.
01:06:52Great, it's great.
01:06:53Okay.
01:06:54See you then.
01:06:55Take good care.
01:06:57You too.
01:07:01Thanks for getting a dinner.
01:07:03That was nice.
01:07:03Oh, you know what's...
01:07:05We call it small-town hospitality.
01:07:07That's how we roll up here.
01:07:09Oh.
01:07:14So, uh, tell me something embarrassing.
01:07:17Something that most people don't know about you.
01:07:20I think you're missing the concept of interviewer-interviewee relationship.
01:07:25Maybe, but I was thinking that maybe tonight we could forget about that.
01:07:30Just for tonight.
01:07:31It would just be two people talking.
01:07:37Embarrassing, huh?
01:07:38Yeah.
01:07:40Um, I can't dance.
01:07:44Really?
01:07:44Yeah, no.
01:07:45Not at all?
01:07:45No, not at all.
01:07:46I, like, I try, I'll try.
01:07:47Uh-huh.
01:07:48Okay, so I remember we had to learn the one, two, three, one, two.
01:07:52It's like, I, my brain tells my feet and I can't, I can't do it.
01:07:55That's all right.
01:07:56What about you, um, got some embarrassing stories?
01:08:00When I was a kid?
01:08:03Uh, I used to think that if you ate an apple seed,
01:08:07and an apple tree would actually grow inside your stomach.
01:08:10I think all kids think that.
01:08:12Really?
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:13They do?
01:08:14Stop it.
01:08:15No, really, I didn't know.
01:08:16Now I feel a lot better, actually.
01:08:21Okay, this is good.
01:08:22This is good.
01:08:23Um, well.
01:08:24I will tell you, I'm going to trust you with this now.
01:08:25Are you ready?
01:08:25Mm-hmm.
01:08:27I also had an invisible friend.
01:08:29Her name was Victoria Farnsworth Longfellow.
01:08:33Oh, wow.
01:08:34Very royal.
01:08:34Yes, and she was a queen.
01:08:36She liked to order everybody around, and I miss her terribly.
01:08:52You know, I have been, uh, meaning to tell you something.
01:08:57Remember when I agreed to do the interview,
01:08:58I said that there was something that I needed to tell the world?
01:09:04Yeah?
01:09:07I'm quitting.
01:09:13Are you serious?
01:09:14I am.
01:09:16What?
01:09:17I mean, my career as a mystery writer has come to an end.
01:09:22Why?
01:09:23The last couple of years, I just, I felt like all I've been doing is repackaging the same stories and
01:09:28new jacket covers.
01:09:30Wow.
01:09:33It definitely puts a new spin on the article, but...
01:09:36I thought you'd be happy.
01:09:39I'm happy for the article.
01:09:40I mean, it's, it's a good, um...
01:09:42Yeah, I mean, you have the scoop.
01:09:43Scoop.
01:09:44Yeah.
01:09:45I just can't imagine a world in which I am not looking forward to reading the next Martin Claiborne novel.
01:09:55Thank you for that.
01:09:57It's very sweet of you to say.
01:09:59But I wasn't even planning on making an announcement.
01:10:03I thought it was just best if I, you know, kind of faded away.
01:10:07Then I met you, and you convinced me that my fans deserve the truth.
01:10:13They do.
01:10:15And I thought that this, this was going to be a perfect platform, you know?
01:10:19This is, this is the perfect way to go out.
01:10:21You're giving up a life so many people want.
01:10:24I would kill for your career.
01:10:28Then finish your novel.
01:10:30That is not the same.
01:10:32It's not that simple for me.
01:10:33I know you didn't ask for my two cents, but I'm going to give it to you anyway.
01:10:37The last thing you want to do is wake up and realize you didn't do what you were destined to
01:10:44do.
01:10:48Trust me.
01:11:07Trust me.
01:11:08I know.
01:11:08I'm going to go.
01:11:39Yeah, he's hanging it up.
01:11:40He says he doesn't have the passion for it anymore.
01:11:42It's quite a scoop he gave you.
01:11:44Yeah, we're gonna sell a lot of magazines.
01:11:47I'm not sure I'm satisfied with the ending, though.
01:11:51I can't believe he's gonna stop writing.
01:11:53He's giving up.
01:11:56Isn't that what you're doing
01:11:56by not finishing your novel, though?
01:12:01No, I'm... I haven't had time.
01:12:04And, look, if I get this promotion,
01:12:06which is a huge stepping stone toward me
01:12:07writing things I actually care about,
01:12:10then I'm not gonna have time
01:12:11for much more of anything else anyway.
01:12:15What?
01:12:17I just don't want you to lose sight of your dreams.
01:12:19That's all.
01:12:20I'm not.
01:12:21Amber, trying to be a successful novelist
01:12:23is a really hard life.
01:12:25I don't know if I'm cut out for that.
01:12:31What?
01:12:33Nothing.
01:12:33Oh, nothing, nothing. What?
01:12:34I just... I'm thinking about you and your motto,
01:12:39which is go boldly in the direction of your dreams
01:12:42and live the life you've imagined.
01:12:44You know, it's not go boldly in the direction of your dreams
01:12:47and then give up when it gets really, really hard.
01:12:50I hear you.
01:12:52I know what I'm doing.
01:12:56Are you ready?
01:12:57Yeah, almost.
01:13:00Can I, uh, use your printer?
01:13:02Yeah.
01:13:06Oh, hi.
01:13:08Perfect timing.
01:13:09I just bet good and and late.
01:13:11I just came by to give you this.
01:13:13What is this?
01:13:15My article.
01:13:16Oh, right, right.
01:13:19The agreement.
01:13:19I also came to say goodbye.
01:13:22We're gonna head back.
01:13:24You're leaving now?
01:13:25Yeah.
01:13:28Oh.
01:13:29I can't thank you enough for...
01:13:32taking me on this adventure with you
01:13:34and welcoming me into your life.
01:13:41Wait, uh...
01:13:45I can't let you go.
01:13:47There's something I need to show you.
01:13:49Oh.
01:13:51Okay.
01:13:53Come on.
01:14:05So...
01:14:11The Awesome Adventures of Audrey the Owl, written by Danny Boyd.
01:14:16Danny Boyd, why does that name sound?
01:14:18That's your invisible friend.
01:14:20Now it's my pseudonym.
01:14:21This is you.
01:14:23You're not really retiring.
01:14:25Well, there will be no more books from Martin Claiborne, the mystery writer.
01:14:30This is the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.
01:14:33And I didn't want this work to get an unfair advantage or disadvantage because of my name.
01:14:38Why children's books?
01:14:41Writing these makes me happy.
01:14:44And it's taken me a long time to realize that if it doesn't make you happy, it's not worth doing.
01:14:52I don't know.
01:14:56Illustrations by Lauren Connor.
01:14:58Lauren is...
01:14:59A good friend who does amazing illustrations.
01:15:03Why, what did you think?
01:15:05I thought maybe there was something between the two of you.
01:15:10Oh, no.
01:15:12Just friends.
01:15:14Oh.
01:15:15But, um...
01:15:21But I did think that maybe there was something between you and I.
01:15:27Oh.
01:15:30I...
01:15:32Me too.
01:15:35Well, then what are we doing?
01:15:39I don't know.
01:15:40I...
01:15:40I really like you.
01:15:44I...
01:15:45I just have this whole life waiting for me and I've got a big promotion coming and
01:15:49I don't know how this could work.

01:21:07It's another wonderful party.
01:21:09Yeah.
01:21:10Yeah.
01:21:12So, are you going to stand here looking gloomy all night?
01:21:15Or are you going to go out there and have some fun?
01:21:18Gus, if this is your way of asking me to dance, I think I'm going to have to politely decline.
01:21:26The person I really want to dance with is miles and miles away.
01:21:31Okay.
01:21:33Don't be too sure about that.
01:21:46I still can't dance. Don't ask.
01:21:48Yes.
01:21:51What are you, uh...
01:21:52I got your, um, message.
01:21:59Good.
01:22:04Excuse me.
01:22:05Can I have your attention?
01:22:06We'd like to take this time just to thank everyone for coming out to yet another great founder's day party.
01:22:13He's going to make me do a speech.
01:22:17Do you want to get out of here?
01:22:19Yeah.
01:22:22Oh, it's raining off!
01:22:23Okay, come on.
01:22:32I still can't believe you're here.
01:22:35I never thought I'd see you again.
01:22:37Really?
01:22:38Well, yeah, I'd hoped.
01:22:42But I didn't know.
01:22:45Seemed to be at a loss for words.
01:22:48It's quite a time for writer's block.
01:22:52I just figured if I'm going to have a life motto, I should live by it.
01:22:55You know, go boldly in the direction of my dreams and...
01:22:58Live the life you imagine.
01:23:00Right.
01:23:02So...
01:23:03The thing is...
01:23:06The life I imagine includes you.
01:23:11I was hoping you'd say that.
01:23:33It's not a little scary.
01:23:33I've never felt a world.
01:23:33I wish I was to carry out the life with a life purpose.
01:23:35I just have to trust.
01:23:35I might not be able to see that story.
01:23:35I'll be afraid of it.
01:23:35I'll be afraid of it, soon.
01:23:36As you know, I got a place in the death story.
01:23:37It's a place that I don't know.
01:23:38And I'll stay away with you.
01:24:17yeah
