00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:13All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last, and I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:52What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:44And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:06Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough.
00:04:04Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:19Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:24I want a di-
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay? Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family. I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this? Another contract? How big is the role? Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:59Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity. I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:12Yeah, you get it.
00:05:15Mwah! Love you.
00:05:17I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years. If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:29The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct. We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't. My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside. At least there is one good thing to come from this. I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey mom, how you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good dear. I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:09I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, mom. And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:32You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:41What is it, mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:45Our favorite leading man.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:53Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:05All right, cut. That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you.
00:07:15We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:18Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:21I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:25Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:28If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:35You destroyed me.
00:08:04I was just the one who left me.
00:08:19Sabrina, don't!
00:08:22Stay back.
00:08:24I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:30Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:34No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:48I got you.
00:08:50No!
00:08:51Don't let me go!
00:08:53I won't ever let you go.
00:08:54I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:03Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:04I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:06I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:18Good to see ya!
00:09:20Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:21Oh, too long.
00:09:22What's you?
00:09:24Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:27Oh my god, of course, babe.
00:09:28Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:30Are you kidding?
00:09:30Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:35Oh, there he is!
00:09:36The assistant!
00:09:37I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:41How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:46Stop!
00:09:46I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:53Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:56Daniel!
00:09:57Oh.
00:09:58Don't embarrass me.
00:09:59No, it's fine.
00:10:00Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:09My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:11He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.
00:10:16What do you say?
00:10:16Huh?
00:10:17Yeah.
00:10:18Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:22That's fine.
00:10:23That's fine.
00:10:25Just relax, okay?
00:10:27Be nice.
00:10:35Some people never change.
00:10:37But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:42again.
00:10:44Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:46But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:56Oh, careful.
00:10:58You all right?
00:11:01I'm still starving.
00:11:03Make me some food.
00:11:04Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:06Stew?
00:11:08Ew.
00:11:09What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:10I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:13Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:16I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:20Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:23Oh, babe.
00:11:24For real?
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:26My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:30Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:31I'm rich.
00:11:33Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:37I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:41See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:43You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:46They were so dull.
00:11:48Please, Mr. Eastwood.
00:11:49My dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:51Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:55So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:59My treat.
00:12:01Here we go.
00:12:01What?
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:04I don't mind.
00:12:05All of you insist.
00:12:07I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:08So.
00:12:10Okay.
00:12:12Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:16So, anyways.
00:12:17Come on, Ben.
00:12:18Let's go.
00:12:20Looks great.
00:12:20Gotcha.
00:12:21There we go.
00:12:21Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:28Last time.
00:12:29I promise.
00:12:31You're right.
00:12:33It is the last time.
00:12:36Hey, guys.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:46Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:50Contract's fine.
00:12:52It's over.
00:12:54Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:58I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:02After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:05Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:25She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:27Sabrina Donovan, I could scream.
00:13:32I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:34Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:38Oh, gee.
00:13:39I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:42A scene that I wrote.
00:13:43Uncredited, of course.
00:13:44Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:46Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:48Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:52All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:55Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:02You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:04Your brand?
00:14:05It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:08You get it, right?
00:14:17So, you two are a thing?
00:14:19Well, I...
00:14:20Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:21We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:31This is so going viral.
00:14:34I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:35It looks like more than dating.
00:14:37Is this your son?
00:14:39I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:42Don't be silly.
00:14:43You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:45That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:47He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:51But Preston is awesome.
00:14:53He's an action spy.
00:14:55I wish he was my dad.
00:14:58My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:01But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:03when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:05with a call girl.
00:15:07It's okay, buddy.
00:15:08Every spying's a partner in crime.
00:15:10If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:13That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:15Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:16Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:19Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:20Come on.
00:15:24Let's get Michelle.
00:15:24Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:45I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:47Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:49and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:56You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:58From the sound of it,
00:15:59your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:02Daniel, he's here?
00:16:03Did he see us?
00:16:05Is he looking over here?
00:16:06Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:07I was just doing that for Felicity.
00:16:09I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:10Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:12Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:13Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:16Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:18Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:19Jackson, enough.
00:16:22What do I do?
00:16:24Well, that's it then.
00:16:26Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:27I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:29with the tabloids.
00:16:31I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:34You're really good at that.
00:16:36Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:40A one-way ticket,
00:16:42so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:45I know the contract is over,
00:16:47but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:51I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:53Daniel loves me.
00:16:54He has to understand.
00:16:56This is Hollywood.
00:16:57It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:07Daniel, what is this?
00:17:10I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:12All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:15Are you going somewhere?
00:17:17Honey, what a coincidence.
00:17:20We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:24Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:25A vacation?
00:17:26Finally.
00:17:27You're paying attention.
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:32Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:34What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:36Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:37That's not what I meant.
00:17:38Whoa.
00:17:39Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:41That's fine.
00:17:43Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:17:45just like any good husband would.
00:17:47Oh, I see.
00:17:49Is it me?
00:17:50Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:52I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:54I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:56You know what?
00:17:57Maybe I should go.
00:17:58I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:00No, please stay.
00:18:01I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:04No, you know what?
00:18:06I'll go.
00:18:07And clearly she wants you.
00:18:09I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:10Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:14He won't leave.
00:18:16He promised.
00:18:17It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:19We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:21I'm going to go back.
00:18:26Daniel!
00:18:30Thanks.
00:18:31I bet them here.
00:18:32This is...
00:18:33Yeah.
00:18:34Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:36Oh, good.
00:18:39You're up.
00:18:41Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:45It's fun.
00:18:47What?
00:18:48Don't look at me like that.
00:18:49I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:52Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:56How lucky for him.
00:18:58He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:00Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:05Listen, man, I...
00:19:06I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:10You can trust me.
00:19:13Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:16You need to lie down.
00:19:17All right.
00:19:18Oh, hey.
00:19:20Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:22I...
00:19:22When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:28I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:32Just ignore him.
00:19:33He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:34No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:38Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:40Jealous?
00:19:41Yeah.
00:19:42My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:45Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:50You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:54That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:02Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:08My God.
00:20:09My God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:15Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:18No, it's not like that.
00:20:21I...
00:20:21What?
00:20:24You know what?
00:20:25Fine.
00:20:27You two look great together.
00:20:29Daniel, I...
00:20:42And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:48Um...
00:20:50I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:58Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:02I was never the homemaker.
00:21:07Please, Daniel.
00:21:08I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:27If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:30I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:33Look at her now.
00:21:47Playing house for another man.
00:21:49If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:53There he is.
00:22:11God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:14Man.
00:22:15No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:17Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:19I got some.
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:24What do you need?
00:22:25Oh, oh.
00:22:26Yeah, there you go.
00:22:27I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:29I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:30Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:32Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:37Hey, uh...
00:22:39You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:43Not?
00:22:44A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:45Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:52It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:05What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:07Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:08I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:12And it's unfair!
00:23:12That's a shame, huh?
00:23:14You know what?
00:23:15Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:16Here we go.
00:23:18Ooh.
00:23:19No, it's...
00:23:20not to play with that.
00:23:23You never let me do anything!
00:23:26Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:29You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:31It's not about the money.
00:23:32It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:35Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:23:37bad examples.
00:23:38Yeah?
00:23:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:42You're so annoying!
00:23:44Don't push.
00:23:50I said don't push.
00:23:52Go get a book or something.
00:23:53Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:55He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:58God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:24:00Call it a lesson.
00:24:04I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:06He's not your kid.
00:24:07I wish I was.
00:24:09I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:12I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:14Ouch.
00:24:15I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:17So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:19Herman.
00:24:20Maybe it will be.
00:24:21But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:24You?
00:24:26Man of the house?
00:24:27Please.
00:24:28You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:29I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:33And you're a washed up pack.
00:24:35Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:36How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:39I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:24:41I'm a fucking star!
00:24:43A star?
00:24:44A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:47Jackson, come on.
00:24:48I don't want you hanging around this clown ape.
00:24:50No, I'm not going.
00:24:52Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:54Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:24:56You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:22What was that?
00:25:27Let's go.
00:25:30Daniel!
00:25:31What is happening?
00:25:33It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:34Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:36What?
00:25:37You're so scared.
00:25:37You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:39What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:41I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:42I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:43What?
00:25:44I didn't?
00:25:45Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:47You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:49I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:51He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:52It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:54Grow up!
00:25:55Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:57What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:59What?
00:26:00Everyone knows your precious press had attacked me?
00:26:02Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:05No!
00:26:06Oh my God!
00:26:08He's lying!
00:26:10You're a monster!
00:26:12And in front of your son?
00:26:14You have to be kidding!
00:26:16We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:18We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:21Come on.
00:26:22Clean this up!
00:26:25Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:29She's mine now, loser.
00:26:32I'm bleeding out.
00:26:44I think I hit an artery.
00:26:45I need an ambulance now.
00:26:47Now!
00:26:57You did lose a lot of blood.
00:26:59So we're going to have to keep you here overnight
00:27:01to pump you with liquid.
00:27:03To be honest, that's...
00:27:04I could use a break from home.
00:27:06Trouble with the missus?
00:27:09Uh...
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:12Pretty obvious.
00:27:12Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:15I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:23True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:27I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:27:30You said, um, couple?
00:27:32I wasn't sure.
00:27:33I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's a visual.
00:27:37She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:42She was so sweet.
00:27:43You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:50No, it's...
00:27:52It's an old wound.
00:27:54I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:58Daniel!
00:27:58Sweet and caring.
00:28:02So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:05He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:15Fuck it.
00:28:17I'm gonna get my shit in here.
00:28:20Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:23You once liked my short film.
00:28:24I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:26It needs the right producer.
00:28:36I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:40Where have you been?
00:28:42I kept calling.
00:28:43I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:47Huh?
00:28:51What?
00:28:51I've been busy.
00:28:52Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:54Uh, seriously?
00:28:56Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:58I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:02Yeah.
00:29:03That's what you want to call it?
00:29:06I...
00:29:06I just...
00:29:08I'm sorry, I...
00:29:10Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:19But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:23You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:28And I think you should go for it.
00:29:29I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:32But I just...
00:29:34I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:40I...
00:29:41I care about you.
00:29:46I'm no man.
00:29:48I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:50I know when you're angry.
00:29:52Really?
00:29:52I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:54I pay attention?
00:29:57Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:58She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:02That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:04A headline.
00:30:05A performance.
00:30:08Sabrina.
00:30:12Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:13You know what?
00:30:14I hate fighting.
00:30:16So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:18I was thinking.
00:30:20We could revisit your script.
00:30:25I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:27You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:30Well, yeah.
00:30:31The first ten pages.
00:30:32But they're good.
00:30:34The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:37I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:39Me and you.
00:30:40The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:44I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:48A long time ago.
00:30:50Well, how about you make us some lattes?
00:30:52And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:56Just like we used to do in film school.
00:30:59There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:02I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:05Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:07I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:29Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:34That's not what I meant.
00:31:37I like it when you make it.
00:31:40I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:44I knew it.
00:31:45You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:48I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:52God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:57Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:00It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:02No, Daniel.
00:32:04No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:11Look what you made me do.
00:32:12Just leave it.
00:32:16I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:20And what?
00:32:21It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:23I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:25And look what I get for it.
00:32:26You know what?
00:32:28Forget it.
00:32:29I have a mirror.
00:32:30We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:47What?
00:32:48Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:50Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:51Not quite.
00:32:52That was the divorce contract.
00:32:54But if you want a clean break,
00:32:55we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:32:57and our family's NDA.
00:32:58This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:00Remember that.
00:33:01I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:13I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:33:16into her trailer on set.
00:33:18Oh, please.
00:33:19She's always been so secretive.
00:33:21I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:33:23and where is her husband?
00:33:24Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:27I read somewhere that he was just
00:33:29a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:33Oh, well.
00:33:34If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:36Come here.
00:33:37Oh.
00:33:40Jackson!
00:33:41We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:44Do you know where she is?
00:33:45Or who she's with?
00:33:47She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:49He's been staying with us.
00:33:50Oh.
00:33:51Really?
00:33:53Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:56Oh, I hope so.
00:33:57I really hope so.
00:33:58He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:34:02Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:05Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:08What are you doing here?
00:34:15You never come to these things.
00:34:17Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:34:21Get lost.
00:34:22You embarrass us.
00:34:23Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:25I'm your father.
00:34:26I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:31Is there a problem?
00:34:32Oh, my God.
00:34:38That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:40How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:43If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:46I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:47You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:49Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:50You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:56I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:57That's not what I see.
00:34:58You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:07That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:11It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:13And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:18This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:20You were revolting.
00:35:22No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:24Hey.
00:35:26Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:27Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world, too.
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:32Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:34Oh, yeah?
00:35:35What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:36You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:41Hmm.
00:35:43Oh!
00:35:45Oh!
00:35:45Oh!
00:35:45Oh!
00:35:45Oh!
00:35:57What the hell?
00:36:03What happened?
00:36:06Oh my god!
00:36:07Daniel!
00:36:08What the hell happened?
00:36:10Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:11Are you okay?
00:36:12Look at her go.
00:36:15Hollywood's finest.
00:36:16Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:19It's Daniel.
00:36:20He's a monster.
00:36:22He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:25Mommy!
00:36:25Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:28No.
00:36:29No, that's not true.
00:36:30If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:36Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:39Daniel.
00:36:41Is that true?
00:36:44Sabrina.
00:36:46Oh!
00:36:48Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:50I think one of them's broken.
00:36:52Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:58But, but Daniel.
00:37:02Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:16Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:19I, I have, I have to help him.
00:37:22You're not Preston.
00:37:36Come on, Jackson.
00:37:43Daniel!
00:37:44I got you.
00:37:46Don't let me go!
00:37:48She's made her choice.
00:37:50There's no going back.
00:37:51We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:03Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:08Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:10I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:12There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:17Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:18In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:22If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:42Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:48I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:02Seriously?
00:39:06Say, Dad.
00:39:07I know. Why is he dead?
00:39:09I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:14What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:39:16I think I'll pull through.
00:39:17So what are you doing?
00:39:26What I've always wanted to.
00:39:28Come on. I know you want this.
00:39:30I see the way you look at me.
00:39:32Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:35I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:38Preston, get off.
00:39:51What?
00:39:52Babe, we can finally come on.
00:39:54I said get off.
00:39:56What?
00:39:57I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:39:58No, forget about him.
00:40:00Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:05I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:09I mean, come on.
00:40:10Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:12Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:15What?
00:40:16Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:20No.
00:40:21No.
00:40:22What have I done?
00:40:24Where is he?
00:40:25What about me?
00:40:27You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:29I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:37Hello?
00:40:39Excuse me.
00:40:40Excuse me.
00:40:42Hi.
00:40:42Have you seen my husband?
00:40:44Please.
00:40:45He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:46I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:40:50He didn't come back in, though.
00:40:54Oh, no.
00:40:56God, Daniel, where are you?
00:40:57I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:02Please try again later.
00:41:04What have I done?
00:41:16Come on, Daniel.
00:41:17Answer me.
00:41:18He's not gone.
00:41:26I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:28He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41It's not possible.
00:41:46He will be back.
00:41:49No.
00:42:00Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:01I'm Cyril Castillo Jackson.
00:42:05The waves all spousal support.
00:42:08No.
00:42:08No.
00:42:09He can't leave me.
00:42:10He can't do this to me.
00:42:12I won't sign off on him.
00:42:13No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:24All this time, he's gonna leave me?
00:42:28It can't be.
00:42:46It's not us.
00:42:47Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:42:49My mom will look it over anyways.
00:42:50He loves me.
00:42:53He loves Jackson.
00:42:55He wouldn't just leave us.
00:42:57We're his family.
00:42:59After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:43:02I got you.
00:43:25Don't let me go.
00:43:28Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:32Daniel?
00:43:35No, it's Mom.
00:43:36Is everything okay?
00:43:38You sound panicked.
00:43:38Mom.
00:43:41Mom.
00:43:42Daniel.
00:43:43He just left us.
00:43:46Do you know where he is?
00:43:49We have to find him.
00:43:50We can check the hospital or the...
00:43:52Oh, honey.
00:43:54It's over.
00:43:55Daniel's not coming back.
00:43:57You knew?
00:43:59I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:01I'm hungry.
00:44:10I'm hungry.
00:44:12Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:16Jackson?
00:44:18I have something to tell you.
00:44:22Your dad.
00:44:25Your dad.
00:44:26He's left us.
00:44:29I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:32Yay, he's gone.
00:44:33He's gone.
00:44:34Why would you say that?
00:44:36He was so embarrassing.
00:44:38Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:39Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:41What did Preston say?
00:44:43He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:44:48He was so lame and boring.
00:44:52Now he's gone.
00:44:53Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:44:56He can be my new dad.
00:44:57Jackson, you have a dad.
00:45:00And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:03Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:11Hello?
00:45:12Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:13Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:15I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:18I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:19Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:23Was that done with your approval?
00:45:25No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:27Flag his name.
00:45:29I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:32Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:36Okay?
00:45:37He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:39Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:43And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:46What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:45:49Huh.
00:45:50It's despicable.
00:45:51I can't do this anymore.
00:45:54I cancel everything.
00:45:56The interviews and the red carpets.
00:45:58I don't want to be seen.
00:46:00I can't pretend.
00:46:03I just want him back.
00:46:05Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:46:08You don't love him anyway.
00:46:11Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:17What?
00:46:17How could you say something like that?
00:46:20Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:23He cares for me.
00:46:24He sees me.
00:46:25He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:29But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:33Daniel's my husband.
00:46:35And the father of my son.
00:46:36Yeah, some husband.
00:46:38Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:40Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:43Contract?
00:46:43What contract?
00:46:45What contract?
00:46:50What are you talking about?
00:46:53Forget it.
00:46:53Forget it.
00:46:55Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:46:56When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:01Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:04Please.
00:47:05I just want the truth.
00:47:07Mom.
00:47:09Fine.
00:47:10I will tell you the truth.
00:47:12But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:16I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:20But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:23When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:29I had to save you.
00:47:31She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:35You've always been there for her.
00:47:37From film school to now.
00:47:38I've seen it.
00:47:40She needs you.
00:47:42Stay.
00:47:43Marry her.
00:47:44Love her.
00:47:44So that she's never alone again.
00:47:47It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:47:57How could you do this to me?
00:47:59I wanted to protect you.
00:48:01You wanted to control me.
00:48:03All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:06Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:12You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:16Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:18He kept you together.
00:48:20Where?
00:48:21Where did he go?
00:48:22I know he told you where he went.
00:48:24Where is he?
00:48:25You can do better than him.
00:48:27You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:31Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:33No.
00:48:34He can't be gone.
00:48:35He can't.
00:48:36Yes.
00:48:37He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:40He can't be.
00:48:41He can't be gone.
00:48:42He can't.
00:48:45I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:08a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:11Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:19Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:23What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:26Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:29Nobody told me how.
00:49:30Oh, man.
00:49:31How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:33I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:36Uh, yeah.
00:49:37Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it,
00:49:42actually.
00:49:42I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:44But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I've found my voice, and it
00:49:51really is full steam ahead.
00:49:52Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way
00:49:56back to Hollywood?
00:50:00Hollywood.
00:50:02Get out of the country.
00:50:04If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:50:10hell.
00:50:13Daniel?
00:50:13He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:31Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:38That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:42actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:46Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:50:50We'll never tell.
00:50:54Oh, my God.
00:50:55Thanks for saving me.
00:50:57She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:50:59I know.
00:50:59Jeez.
00:51:00This is so surreal.
00:51:02I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:04I can.
00:51:05The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:09Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:13And get used to compliments.
00:51:15There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:17Fuck.
00:51:18Finish me, I know.
00:51:19I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:23You okay?
00:51:24You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:26Yeah, I know.
00:51:26It's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:29Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:34Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:35I know.
00:51:47I know.
00:51:48All press is good press.
00:51:49Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:00bitch?
00:52:00He can't do this to me.
00:52:04Sabrina.
00:52:05You don't need him.
00:52:06Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:08How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:11Move on?
00:52:12Please, honey.
00:52:14He is using her.
00:52:16Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:19He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:21How could you say that?
00:52:22I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:27He's proving that to the whole world.
00:52:29Don't you see it?
00:52:30Sabrina.
00:52:32Look at what you've got.
00:52:33A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:39Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:41And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:44You have everything.
00:52:46I don't have him.
00:52:49Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:50Go have the chef make something.
00:52:51No, I hate what she cooks.
00:52:53And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:52:55Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:52:57Don't talk about him like that.
00:52:59He's your dad.
00:53:00No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:03Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:06It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:08When did he get so cruel?
00:53:10You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:14A doormat.
00:53:16Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:17Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:19Enough, you little shit.
00:53:21Enough!
00:53:24Just enough!
00:53:25Sabrina?
00:53:26What's gotten into you?
00:53:28Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:32Whoa.
00:53:32What's going on here?
00:53:34This room feels really tense.
00:53:36Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:38I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:40No.
00:53:41I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:43And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:46Now, it's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:53:53Hey, man.
00:53:54Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:53:57Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:53:58Really?
00:53:59Loser?
00:54:00Yeah.
00:54:00You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:04And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:08That's really, really low.
00:54:15Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:20Come on.
00:54:20We're America's power couple.
00:54:22To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:25Face it, Preston.
00:54:27You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:30And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:34You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:36I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:39Because you know what?
00:54:41Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:42It's not like that.
00:54:44Okay?
00:54:44Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:47I want to marry you.
00:54:48We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:51What's my birthday?
00:54:52Huh?
00:54:53What kind of flowers do I like?
00:54:55What's my favorite color?
00:54:57My favorite song?
00:54:58Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:00Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:02What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:04You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:06You don't love me.
00:55:07You don't even know me.
00:55:09This isn't a relationship.
00:55:11This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:14And you know what?
00:55:15I'm done.
00:55:16Get out.
00:55:17I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:19We're over.
00:55:21We're over.
00:55:22No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:23Please.
00:55:24Please, I love you.
00:55:25Just think about it.
00:55:27Look at the press.
00:55:28What this will look like.
00:55:28If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:33Get out.
00:55:34Hey, just.
00:55:35Now.
00:55:36Just give me your hand.
00:55:37Come on.
00:55:37No.
00:55:38I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:41Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:43I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:45I see all of you.
00:55:47And you're never going to be alone again.
00:55:49He truly knew me.
00:55:53He loved me.
00:55:55Every flaw.
00:55:57Every fear.
00:55:59Contract or not.
00:56:00He truly loved me.
00:56:03I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:05Saved me?
00:56:06You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:09Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:11And he saved me from you.
00:56:14Security!
00:56:15Security!
00:56:17Security!
00:56:18Come on.
00:56:18Just let's talk about this.
00:56:19No.
00:56:21Come on.
00:56:21Celeste, do something.
00:56:23Sabrina!
00:56:25Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:26Was that really necessary?
00:56:29I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:33Is that all you care about?
00:56:34The fame?
00:56:35The headlines?
00:56:36The brand deals?
00:56:38God.
00:56:39You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:43Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:46Of course I care about you.
00:56:49I love you.
00:56:51Then prove it.
00:56:52If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:56:56You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:11I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:13In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:19I mean, you know this.
00:57:20You're a legend.
00:57:21I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:23All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:24You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:27I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:29I got projects.
00:57:30Come on!
00:57:31You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:57:35made in L.A., not London.
00:57:37That's where you belong.
00:57:39To be honest, I already did, Ollie.
00:57:41It didn't really end well.
00:57:43Let me guess.
00:57:44My girl?
00:57:45If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:57:49You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:57:53You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:57:57You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:57:58Three-picture deal.
00:57:59Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:01Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:03I don't know what to say.
00:58:04Just say yes.
00:58:05You have my number.
00:58:07Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:09Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:11You can't run away from the past.
00:58:12You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:14Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:28Can we talk?
00:58:30Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:34Of course.
00:58:35It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:40Is this a personal story?
00:58:41Well, we get a hint at who the mystery woman is.
00:58:45Oh.
00:58:48She knows who she is.
00:58:49Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:58:54You arrogant little shit.
00:58:56I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:05It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:07I need a favor.
00:59:08I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:14It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:19Mom?
00:59:19What are you doing?
00:59:24Did you just break my TV?
00:59:26Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:29You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:31You've been so kind, though.
00:59:32Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:37He's back.
00:59:39Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:41Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:44I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:47I need to get on that movie.
00:59:49Absolutely not.
00:59:50You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:59:52If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
00:59:55Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
00:59:57He still loves me.
01:00:00He has to.
01:00:02I just need to talk to him.
01:00:05Let him go.
01:00:08Mom.
01:00:10Honey, I...
01:00:11You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:16I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:20I love you.
01:00:22I love you, too.
01:00:26Here we go.
01:00:28This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:00:31I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:47Did you get his location?
01:00:50The Oaks.
01:00:518 p.m.
01:00:52After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:00:58He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:00She's not protecting me.
01:01:11She's protecting her business.
01:01:13And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:15But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:17It's so nice having you back.
01:01:21And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:23Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:26Couple.
01:01:27Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:31If you can even call them that.
01:01:32But you're healthy now.
01:01:33And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:36I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:01:38but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:41The marriage, the kids.
01:01:43I mean, we really tried.
01:01:44I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:01:48It's over.
01:01:49It's over.
01:01:51I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:02Oh.
01:02:03You haven't heard?
01:02:05She dumped him.
01:02:07It was all over People magazine.
01:02:08She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:12Oh, my God.
01:02:13What?
01:02:18Daniel.
01:02:22Stop.
01:02:30Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:32I'm here to help you.
01:02:34Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:37Let's go home.
01:02:38Sabrina?
01:02:38How could you?
01:02:39What?
01:02:39I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:44I begged and pleaded.
01:02:45Stop lying.
01:02:46I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:02:51And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:02:56My God.
01:02:57You're disgusting.
01:02:59I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:00Not anymore.
01:03:02Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:06I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:10I'm your mother.
01:03:11I only want what's best for you.
01:03:14What's best for me?
01:03:18You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:22That all ends today.
01:03:27You're fired.
01:03:29Fired.
01:03:31No.
01:03:32You can't do this to me.
01:03:42Please.
01:03:42Please, sweetie.
01:03:43I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:45You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:03:50I was just who you used to get to it.
01:03:52You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:03:55There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:03:58I made you.
01:04:00You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:04I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:12We're done here, Mom.
01:04:13If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:22Without another word.
01:04:23I have something to say.
01:04:37I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:40I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:43I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:47I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:04:56Apologize to your father.
01:04:58Do I have to?
01:05:00Who raised you?
01:05:03Cared for you?
01:05:05Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:08Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:13He did.
01:05:14He loved you.
01:05:15But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:17I was wrong.
01:05:19Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:24And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:28I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:32It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:34I still love you.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:37Come on, Jackson.
01:05:38Let's go.
01:05:38Let's go.
01:05:45I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:47For everything.
01:05:58I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:00You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:02No.
01:06:05I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:07They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:09They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:16People can change.
01:06:19But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:21And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:32Daniel!
01:06:33Daniel!
01:06:33Daniel!
01:06:34Daniel!
01:06:34Daniel!
01:06:34Daniel!
01:06:34Daniel!
01:06:35Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing
01:06:39sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:41Yes.
01:06:42I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:06:46But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:06:49Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:01Way to go, John!
01:07:16Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:23We'll keep in touch.
01:07:30How many more do we have today?
01:07:32Forty, sir.
01:07:33Jesus.
01:07:34Hey, boy!
01:07:35How are we looking?
01:07:36We're still digging.
01:07:37Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:41I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:44All right, here's the deal.
01:07:45The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:07:49Today?
01:07:50Are you fucking kidding me?
01:07:51That's why I love you, man.
01:07:53Cool under pressure.
01:07:54This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:00Oh, my God.
01:08:01All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:03That would be...
01:08:05Emily Blake.
01:08:09Emily.
01:08:13Emily.
01:08:14Amazing, as always.
01:08:17You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:20Please.
01:08:21I wasn't gonna miss a shot you auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:25How's LA treating you?
01:08:27Oh, my God.
01:08:28Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:31But I am...
01:08:32I'm glad to be back.
01:08:34Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:36Yeah.
01:08:37But it suits you.
01:08:40You definitely belong here.
01:08:44I do miss you, though.
01:08:46It was fun.
01:08:48Playing the part.
01:08:49British starlet.
01:08:51American director.
01:08:52I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:57Waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:59I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:02It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:06You...
01:09:06You were amazing, as always.
01:09:08It's just...
01:09:10It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:13I never was, was I?
01:09:17Anyways...
01:09:18Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:21Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:23Yeah.
01:09:35Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:37Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:40And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:43Oh, my God.
01:09:49What am I going to do?
01:09:56That was quick!
01:10:07What are you doing here?
01:10:10I came to audition.
01:10:13Did you bring any representation?
01:10:15No.
01:10:17I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:20I'm starting fresh.
01:10:22Right, um...
01:10:22Hi.
01:10:26I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:31Don't let me go!
01:10:33I got you.
01:10:34I'll never let you go.
01:10:37Are you okay?
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:39It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:41never really healed.
01:10:43I understand.
01:10:44I understand.
01:10:45I understand.
01:10:50Daniel Johnson.
01:10:53Nice to meet you.
01:10:56Please.
01:10:57Whatever you're ready.
01:11:27Whatever you're ready.
01:11:57Whatever you're ready.
