Full Episode Of America's Favorite Ex Husband
Transcript
00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:01And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:07You didn't still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:10That was a long time ago.
00:01:12America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:28She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:04I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:33I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:43I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:52I'm starving.
00:02:53When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:59No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:03You always know the spot.
00:03:14He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:17I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:22I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:34I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets.
00:03:37Chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-exorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:13Enough.
00:04:13Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously.
00:04:52Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:55I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:01How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever.
00:05:06My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:36The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey mom, how you doing?
00:06:08Oh good dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:31I am mom, and I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You look wonderful dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:52What is it mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:30Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44I'm sorry.
00:07:45I'm still the
00:08:12You destroyed me, Professor Seth Lennon.
00:08:33Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:05Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:12I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:17Nobody sees the real you.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see ya!
00:09:27Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:28Oh, two long.
00:09:29Look at you!
00:09:30Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:33Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:34Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:35Are you kidding?
00:09:36Oh, Daniel.
00:09:37Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit.
00:09:38But you don't mind, right?
00:09:39Oh, there he is!
00:09:40The assistant!
00:09:41I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:44How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:47Stop!
00:09:48I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:09Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:12Daniel!
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stael in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Stael tough!
00:10:24You think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:27He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:32What are you saying, huh?
00:10:33Yeah.
00:10:34Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:38It's fine.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:41Just relax, okay?
00:10:43Be nice.
00:10:44Some people never change.
00:10:46But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:02It's nice.
00:11:03But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, careful.
00:11:15You alright?
00:11:16I'm still starving.
00:11:20Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:26Ew.
00:11:27What is this?
00:11:28A soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:38Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:41What?
00:11:42For real?
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50Rich.
00:11:51Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:55I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:01You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:06Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:18My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:23I don't mind.
00:12:24All of you insist.
00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:27Oh.
00:12:28So.
00:12:29Okay.
00:12:30Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:35So, anyways.
00:12:36Come on, Ben.
00:12:37Let's go.
00:12:38That's great.
00:12:39Gotcha.
00:12:40There we go.
00:12:41Oh.
00:12:42There's Paps.
00:12:44You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:47Last time.
00:12:48I promise.
00:12:50You're right.
00:12:51It is the last time.
00:12:52You guys?
00:12:53Hi.
00:12:54Jackson.
00:12:55Jackson.
00:12:56Jackson.
00:12:57Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:58Contract sign.
00:12:59It's open.
00:13:00Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:01I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:02Is there ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:03I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:04I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:05I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:09Following through on the divorce.
00:13:11Contract's fine.
00:13:13It's okay.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is there ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:39Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:51Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream, I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:55Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:03The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:08Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:13All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:21Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:26Your brand?
00:14:27It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:29You get it, right?
00:14:38So, you two are a thing?
00:14:41Well, I...
00:14:42Oh, it's okay babe, we don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:45This is so going viral.

00:33:25what is that how you talk to your mother-in-law yeah ex-mother-in-law not quite that was the divorce contract but if you want a clean break we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's NDA this is showbiz
00:33:39baby remember that I text you the address where to meet me
00:33:55I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:22Oh, wow. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:23Is there a problem?
00:35:29Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:32How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad. You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:43You should probably listen to your kid and head out, because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:00Hmm. That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:04It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I was done with, uh...
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:18How do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world, too.
00:36:26Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:38That's all.
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:48What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God! Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:46I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina.
00:37:50Honey.
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:12Mommy, please.
00:38:14We can't leave him.
00:38:15I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:17I have to help Preston.
00:38:33Come on, Jack.
00:38:40Daniel!
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:43Don't let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:08I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:15Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:19If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:40Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just dry.
00:39:43I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02Seriously?
00:40:05Stay down.
00:40:06I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:13What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:17So, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in his bedroom.
00:40:38Come on.
00:40:47What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:41:07Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:12I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:16No, no, forget about him.
00:41:18Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:23I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:27I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:45You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:58Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:16God, Daniel, where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:23What have I done?
00:42:26Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:46I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:49He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:10No.
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No.
00:43:30He can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:39No.
00:43:39No.
00:43:40No.
00:43:40All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:44:04It can't be.
00:44:08It's not a...
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:10My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:37I got you.
00:44:44Don't let him go.
00:44:49Daniel.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:53Daniel?
00:44:57No.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:00He's not paying.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:03Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:18Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:35Dad!
00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone! He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:00He was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:03Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:16Now he's gone!
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:20He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson, you have a dad.
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:56Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:21The interviews and the red carpets, I don't want to be seen.
00:47:26I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Oh, honey.
00:47:33It's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:40What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:59Daniel is my husband and the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with
00:48:08this child just because the contract ended.
00:48:10Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on
00:48:29a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:44I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:03You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:12Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:22It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:28I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:35Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:41You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No!
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't!
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:07He is gone.
00:50:08And he is gone forever.
00:50:10He can't be!
00:50:12He can't be gone!
00:50:13He can't!
00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howe, the Tame Silver Fox, that's already generated
00:50:39a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:42Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah, um, god, my career's been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest
00:51:14about it, actually.
00:51:14I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:16But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really
00:51:23is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:29back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:34Get out of the country.
00:51:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:51:42hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:46He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:52:16actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:28Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:34This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:47And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:57You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I think so.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:03Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:10I think...
00:53:23Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:36He can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills,
00:54:14an adorable kid.
00:54:15Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:17And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:51A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:57You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:11What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:38Yeah.
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:35What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:40Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press, what this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:17Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:18No.
00:57:19I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:24I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:26I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:35He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:48You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:51Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:53And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:57:59Security!
00:58:00Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Celeste, do something.
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:08Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:17The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:21God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:32I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:35But if you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:02I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse sitting idle in the wrong country.
00:59:11I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:14Come on.
00:59:15You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:20not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:29If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:34You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:43Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:46Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50I'll just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:11Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:14Can we talk?
01:00:15Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:33Oh...
01:00:34She knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:40You arrogant little shit.
01:00:42I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:52It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:07Did you just break my TV?
01:01:13Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called...
01:01:21You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:29Honey, I don't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:38You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:43Oh, honey.
01:01:44I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:53Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:57Honey, I...
01:02:01You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:17This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:20I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:27Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:44Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:57She's not protecting me.
01:03:01She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:09So nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23But you're healthy now.
01:03:24And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:26I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:03:29but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:35I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:38It's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:53Oh.
01:03:54You went hard?
01:03:55She dumped him.
01:03:58It was all over People Magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh my gosh, what?
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:14Stop!
01:04:15Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:24I'm here to help you.
01:04:26Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:29Let's go home.
01:04:30Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:04:35but he said no.
01:04:36I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:04:46to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:49Oh my God, you're disgusting.
01:04:51I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:53Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:59I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:02I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:11You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:16That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23You're fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:32You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:37I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:46You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:49There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:54You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:02We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:18I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:35I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:43I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:56Jackson, who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:09He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:14I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:33Come on, Jackson.
01:07:35Let's go.
01:07:42I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:56I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:00No.
01:08:01I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:18But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:23And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:31Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
01:08:34Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:48Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:56Way to go, John!
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:01Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:30What do we have today?
01:09:32Forty.
01:09:32Sorry.
01:09:33Jeez.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:35How are we looking?
01:09:36Still digging?
01:09:37Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:40I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking kidding me?
01:09:52That's why I love you, man.
01:09:53Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just bring in the next one.
01:10:03But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:16Amazing, as always.
01:10:18You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:21Please.
01:10:23I was gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:27How's LA treating you?
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:30Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am.
01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not even this countryside.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:42You definitely belong here.
01:10:46I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:53American director.
01:10:54I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:05It just cost me.
01:11:07And we'll call Stephen.
01:11:08You were amazing, as always.
01:11:11It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:17I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways.
01:11:21Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:24Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:26Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:45Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:00That was quick.
01:12:01What are you doing here?
01:12:14I came to audition.
01:12:18Did you bring any representation?
01:12:19No.
01:12:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right.
01:12:29Um...
01:12:30Hi.
01:12:32I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:36Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:42Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah.
01:12:44It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:47never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:55Daniel Johnson.
01:12:58Nice to meet you.
01:13:02Please.
01:13:11Now you're ready.
01:13:14Now you're ready.
01:13:41You're ready.
01:13:42No.
