00:07:29asshole
00:07:59It destroyed me.
00:08:02Rested.
00:08:03There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see ya!
00:09:10Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:11Oh, too long.
00:09:12Look at you!
00:09:13Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:15Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:16Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:17Are you kidding?
00:09:18Oh, Daniel.
00:09:19Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit.
00:09:20But you don't mind, right?
00:09:21Oh, there he is!
00:09:22The assistant!
00:09:23I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:25God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:43Stop!
00:09:44I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:50Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:54Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you?
00:09:59Played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, kiddo?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:19That's fine.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:34Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:39when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:47Oh, careful.
00:10:48You all right?
00:10:49I'm still starving.
00:10:50Make me some food.
00:10:51Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:10:52Stew?
00:10:53Ew.
00:10:54What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:10:55I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:10:56You know.
00:10:57Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:10:58I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:04Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:05Oh, babe.
00:11:06For real?
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:08My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:09Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:10I'm rich.
00:11:11Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:13I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:14See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:15You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:16You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:17They were so dull.
00:11:18Please, she's so rich.
00:11:19I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22I'm a billionaire.
00:11:23No, no, no.
00:11:24So I'm a billionaire.
00:11:25He's a billionaire.
00:11:26I'm a billionaire.
00:11:27I'm a billionaire.
00:11:28I'm a billionaire.
00:11:29I'm a billionaire.
00:11:30I'm a billionaire.
00:11:32I'm a billionaire.
00:11:33What?
00:11:34For real?
00:11:35Yeah.
00:11:36My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:37Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:38I'm rich.
00:11:39See, Dana, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay, go.
00:12:06Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:14Anyways, come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:18That's great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh, there's Paps. You don't have to come, Daniel. Last time. I promise.
00:12:29You're right. It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:36This is Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:58After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:27Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote. Uncredited, of course.
00:13:41Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:49All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:29This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:32It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Are... Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:00when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:03with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:20Come on.
00:15:21Let's give him a show.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:42I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:46and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it,
00:15:56your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:11Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:27with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:31You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket,
00:16:39so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over,
00:16:44but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:16:59Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:20Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:17:42just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:04And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:16We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:20Daniel!
00:18:28It's better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:42It's fun.
00:18:43Well, don't look at me like that.
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:01Listen, man, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, if I think you're at the same time, you need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:29He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:43You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:53That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05My God.
00:20:06My God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:08Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that.
00:20:17I...
00:20:17What?
00:20:20You know what?
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:30I...
00:20:31And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:45Um...
00:20:46I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:16I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:23If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now.
00:21:43Playing house for another man.
00:21:45If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:07God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man.
00:22:11No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:13Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:15I got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh, oh.
00:22:22Yeah, there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:25I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:33Hey, uh...
00:22:35You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39No.
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:43Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:48It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:51What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:03Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:04I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:08And it's unfair!
00:23:09That's a shame, huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:12Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh.
00:23:15No, it's not to play with them.
00:23:18You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:28It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:23:33bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:46I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell is he just showing me?
00:23:59Call it a lesson.
00:24:00I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:01He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was!
00:24:05I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:10Ouch!
00:24:11I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:13So why don't you make this little vacay of yours, Herman?
00:24:15Maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Please.
00:24:23You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29And you're a washed up pack!
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:32How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:34I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:38A star?
00:24:39A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going!
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:51Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:24:54Preston!
00:24:56Preston!
00:24:58Preston!
00:25:00Preston!
00:25:01Preston!
00:25:02Preston!
00:25:03Preston!
00:25:04Preston!
00:25:04You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:22Let's go.
00:25:25Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:28It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:32What?
00:25:32I'm so scared!
00:25:33You've got to be pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't?
00:25:40What the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:42You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:44I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:50Grow up!
00:25:50Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:55Everyone knows you precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No!
00:26:02Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up!
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:35Hello, 911.
00:26:37What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:43Now!
00:26:48You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:57with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:16With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story.
00:27:20Holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:37She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:45No, it's...
00:27:47It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:03and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:05Fuck it.
00:28:13I'm gonna go get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:16Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:21It needs the right producer.
00:28:31I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:38I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
00:28:46What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:49Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:01I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:05I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:15But, I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:18You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:28But, I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:35I...
00:29:36I care about you.
00:29:42I'm not bad.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:47Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:52Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:55She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:57That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:03Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:11So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:30:21I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:23You're telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:26The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:37I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:48and for the next hour,
00:30:49we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:03Bye.
00:31:07I don't know what you do,
00:31:20but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:23and it was awful.
00:31:26I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:31:28I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here.
00:31:37to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:42You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage
00:31:50is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:31:59No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:01Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a premiere.
00:32:26We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:42What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break,
00:32:51we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:32:53and our family's NDA.
00:32:54This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:09I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:33:12into her trailer on set.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:15She's always been so secretive.
00:33:17I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:33:19and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, well.
00:33:30If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:36Jackson!
00:33:38We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is?
00:33:41Or who she's with?
00:33:43She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:04What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:13Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:34That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:43You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:16You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:20Why don't you watch her mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:39I love you.
00:35:40Oh!
00:35:50What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh my god, Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:07Are you okay?
00:36:08Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel.
00:36:16He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy!
00:36:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:36:24No.
00:36:25No, that's not true.
00:36:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:33Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:46I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina?
00:36:50Honey?
00:36:50We need to help Preston.
00:36:54But Daniel!
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:03Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:15I have to help Preston.
00:37:32Come on, Jackson.
00:37:33I have to help you.
00:37:39Daniel!
00:37:40I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:03Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:08There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:12Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:14In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:17If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:24Don't worry about it.
00:38:26Don't worry about it.
00:38:39Just drive.
00:38:40I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:58Seriously?
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:01Stay down.
00:39:02Stay down.
00:39:03Why's he down?
00:39:04Oh!
00:39:05I'm gonna go call the doctor.
00:39:06Hey?
00:39:07What are you doing?
00:39:08I thought you were hurt.
00:39:09I think I'll pull through.
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:15So what are you doing?
00:39:16I've always wanted to.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19I know you want this.
00:39:20I see the way you look at me.
00:39:22Now that Daniel's gone.
00:39:23We have the house to ourself.
00:39:24We can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:36What am I doing?
00:39:45Daniel is still injured.
00:39:47He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:40:02Preston, get off.
00:40:04What?
00:40:05Hey, we can finally.
00:40:07I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:25Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:33No.
00:40:33No.
00:40:35What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:38What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:42I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:44Hello?
00:40:51Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please.
00:40:58He was someone bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:05Oh, no.
00:41:09Come on, Daniel.
00:41:10Where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come on, Daniel.
00:41:30Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.

00:42:11No.
00:42:13It's all assets.
00:42:15Claim Zero Castillo Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:22He can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time, he's gonna leave me?
00:42:41Do you mean...
00:42:56It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:04He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:15I got you.
00:43:21Don't let me go!
00:43:24I got you.
00:43:26Don't let me go!
00:43:28Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:30Daniel!
00:43:31No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:43:33Mom!
00:43:34Mom!
00:43:35Daniel!
00:43:36He just left us!
00:43:38Do you know what I'm doing?
00:43:39I got you.
00:43:40Don't let me go!
00:43:41Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:43Daniel!
00:43:44No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:43:46Mom!
00:43:47Mom!
00:43:48Mom!
00:43:49Daniel!
00:43:50He just left us!
00:43:51Do you know where he is?
00:43:52We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:43:53Oh, honey.
00:43:54It's over.
00:43:55Daniel's not coming back.
00:43:56You knew?
00:43:57I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:04I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:08I'm hungry!
00:44:11Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:13Mom!
00:44:14I'm hungry!
00:44:15Mom!
00:44:16Mom!
00:44:17Mom!
00:44:18Mom!
00:44:20Mom!
00:44:21Mom!
00:44:22Mom!
00:44:23Mom!
00:44:24Mom!
00:44:25Mom!
00:44:26be ready by now. Jackson? I have something to tell you. Your dad, your dad, he's left us. I'm sorry,
00:44:43but he's not coming back. Yay, he's gone. He's gone. Why would you say that? He was so embarrassing.
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood. Mr. Eastwood? What did Preston say? He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man. He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone. Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad. Jackson, you have a dad and he's cared for you for seven years. Yeah, but I hate him.
00:45:20Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel? Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers. I'm sorry, I don't have the time. Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off. Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay? He's not the man you think he is. Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable. I can't do this anymore. Cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey. It's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:26What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:56Contract? What contract?
00:47:03What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:15Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth.
00:47:19Mom.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:35When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:47You've always been there for her.
00:47:50From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:00It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:09How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:14You wanted to control me.
00:48:15All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:20You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:34I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No.
00:48:47He can't be gone.
00:48:48He can't.
00:48:49Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be.
00:48:54He can't be gone.
00:48:55He can't.
00:48:56I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:20a considerable buzz for his new writer-director.
00:49:25Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:37Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man.
00:49:44How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk in the sequel.
00:49:47Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest
00:49:54about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really
00:50:03is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:09back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:50:22hell.
00:50:25Daniel?
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:35He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:44Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:55actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:05Oh, my God.
00:51:08Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know.
00:51:12Jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:18The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this, and get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:33You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:48I know.
00:52:00I know.
00:52:01Our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:12bitch?
00:52:13Ugh.
00:52:14He can't do this to me.
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:21How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:24Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:32He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:36I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world.
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:07Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover, a doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat, Daniel's a doormat, Daniel's...
00:53:31Enough, you little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:02Hey, baby.
00:54:07Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:33Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:42And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that, okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:06Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:17You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:28I'm done.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:34We're over.
00:55:36What?
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please.
00:55:38Please, I love you.
00:55:38Just think about it.
00:55:40Look at the press.
00:55:41What does it look like?
00:55:43If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Babe, just...
00:55:48Now.
00:55:49Just give me your hand.
00:55:50Come on.
00:55:50No.
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:55Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:01And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:02He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw.
00:56:10Every fear.
00:56:12Contract or not.
00:56:14He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:20You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:27Security!
00:56:30Security!
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35Celeste, do something!
00:56:37Sabrina!
00:56:38Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:51God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:05But if you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:23You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:24I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:34I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:36All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on!
00:57:45You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:57:49in L.A., not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:57A girl?
00:57:58If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:03You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:11You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three-picture deal.
00:58:13Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Did I just say yes?
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:23Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:24You can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:28Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:04I'll leave it at that.
00:59:07You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:14It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:32Mom, what are you doing?
00:59:38Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:42You know, I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:51He's back.
00:59:53Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:11He still loves me.
01:00:14He has to.
01:00:16I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let him go.
01:00:23Mom.
01:00:24Honey, I...
01:00:26You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:36I love you, too.
01:00:40Here we go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:45I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:32It's so nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:42Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:52I love Sabrina, but...
01:01:54I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids...
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Nyssa can offer.
01:02:08Oh, you haven't heard?
01:02:19She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:23She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh my god, what?
01:02:33Daniel!
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:38Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:05And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11My god, you're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:20I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:41You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:45No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:59You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:19I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:27We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:43I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:09Apologize to your father.
01:05:13Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:47It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:49I still love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:05:53I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:13I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:20I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you.
01:06:23Daniel, they tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change.
01:06:34But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:40And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49Come here, Daniel!
01:06:50Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:01But, okay, I'll tell you this, um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, John!
01:07:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:38Well, keep in touch.
01:07:39How many more do we have today?
01:07:4640, sir.
01:07:48Jeez.
01:07:48Hey, boy!
01:07:49How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:55I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:59All right, here's the deal.
01:08:00The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:04Today?
01:08:05Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:06That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17Ah.
01:08:18But that would be...
01:08:20Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:30Amazing, as always.
01:08:32You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnstone.
01:08:41How's LA treating you?
01:08:42Oh, my God.
01:08:43Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:54You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:01It was fun.
01:09:02Playing the part.
01:09:04British starlet.
01:09:05American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:11Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:18Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:22You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:26It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:34Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:54And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:58Oh, my God.
01:10:03What am I gonna do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:12Oh, God.
01:10:13What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:35I'm starting fresh.
01:10:37Right, um...
01:10:41Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:57never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:06Daniel Johnson.
01:11:09Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:21Whenever you're ready.
01:11:31Yay!
01:11:41You just alive.
01:11:42Why you will yes?
01:11:43Hi.
01:11:44Huh?
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45Why me?
01:11:52I love you.
01:11:56I get a feel that way.
